KDE 3.0 Beta 2 is out

Posted by HeUnique on from the looks-pretty-good dept.

Subject says all - the next beta of KDE 3.0 is out, after a short delay. You can find the downloads at this announcement. Click below to read more details about this version. One of the most important things that the Konqueror teams wants from people are test cases of your regulary visited pages, where Konqueror either fails to render or render things incorrectly, and submit it using KDE's Bug Tracking system. URL's will not be helpful as it takes lots of time to strip a page from all the HTML code in order to find the actual problematic part of the web page.

Just to save the search for some people: Mandrake, SuSE, Slackware and Tru-64 binary packages are available now. Others will be available soon. Source code is of course available also.

    I wonder if it will work as well as MS's IE bug tracking...

    The situation with Konqueror reminds me of Explorer being tied into Windows.

    Mostly little tweaks, bug fixes (and introduction of a few more). Think of it as primarily a KDE 2.2.x port to the new QT 3.0. It does have a few new features but overall, just tweaks. This one is supposed to migrate your 2.2.x settings to 3.0 rather nicely - EXCEPT for kmail. Kmail is probably worse off in these 3.0 betas than anything else. It will not import your 2.2.x kmail address book, you get to recreate that sucker from scratch.


    Take a look at a review of this beta at: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reviews/404 6/1/


    It nicely covers the ins and outs, good and bad of the present beta.

    It's not dead, it's just about to make a 2.0 release (now i'm not going to claim it'll kill of kde, but if everyone tried both desktops it probably would.)

    Slackware, Mandrake, Suse, but no package for redhat?
