KDE 3.1 Alpha1 is Here

Posted by timothy on from the one-excellent-branch-of-reality dept.

This release sports everything from wonderful new eye candy to tons of popular new features including new and exciting "easter eggs" (aka bugs) just waiting to be discovered. Remember, this is not a stable release -- those of you concerned with stability should use KDE 3.0.2, whereas those of you who want to help KDE 3.1 be the best KDE ever should use this alpha. Kudos to Dre for writing the announcement and to the tireless Dirk Mueller for coordinating this release. Party!" On a related note, pAlpha writes: "Over the past years a large amount of myths has built up around KDE. Recently Aaron J. Seigo released a page about the KDE myths and facts." Good for convincing the boss.

    I've been using SciTe editor for about two months now and I the new Kate sure looks a lot like Scite.

    KDE now wants to look like a cross between XP and OSX.

    Which is fine if you like that I guess.

    Um, I thought that eye candy was a waste of processor cycles. And alpha channels caused users to have to buy the biggest video cards around, and were evil because the guy with a ten year old machine under his desk would have to buy a seven year old machine.

    Or is that just when the operating system that you can't have does it that's a waste and stupid?
