KDE 3.0 beta 1 is out

From the development team who tries to break every development speed record (last month they released KDE 2.2.2) comes KDE 3.0 beta 1, with lots of new features, new QT (3.0.1). It is beta 1 so expect crashes. You can find release notes and download locations over . A full feature list of whats planned to be on KDE 3.0 is also available (hmm, quite a big list) and some screenshots are available here. Please read the README files for your favorite distribution before installing the files as those packages are not replacing the KDE 2.2.X binaries (if you have it installed).

I have been part of the KDE team for a few years now, and slow development is certainly not something which I have experienced.

Development is not always about graphical updates to the interface - and KDE 3.0 encompasses some architectural and some extended functionality.

We are all (KDE and GNOME) evolving fine, and if you are concerned about it, why not help?

> KDE is a good product, don't get me wrong. But why does it have to look just like MSFT's products?

The point is, it doesn't have to, it just can.
