KDE 3.1 Delayed - For A Very Good Reason

Posted by timothy on from the measuring-twice dept.

woobieman29 writes "KDE.news reported on Saturday that the KDE 3.1 release that was scheduled for this week has been delayed until early January. This is happening due to some security concerns that have arisen during a security audit of the 3.1 CVS tree. Kudos to the KDE team for making sure that the product is fully baked before release.!"

  1. This is indeed awesome news by Tim_F · · Score: -1, Troll

    KDE is the most professional (and non-microsoft) looking desktop available for Unix (and Open Source) systems. Gnome, while it may be a nice system if you're an illegal h4x0r, is an ugly looking system. It uses the hideously ugly GTK widget set. God do those things look like arse. While Gnome is only at Version 2, the JDE people have skillfully released 3 different versions of their desktop in less time. All while coming up with a better office app (KOffice), a better groupware implementation (Kroupware), and an Outlook/Evolution killer in KMail. Three cheers to the KDE developpers! You make using Unix fun!
