KDE 3.2 Alpha 1 Finally on FTP

Posted by michael on from the wonder-if-annoying-scrollbar-bug-is-fixed-yet dept.

An anonymous reader cut-and-pastes from the announcement: "Stephan Kulow finally managed to get the last bits of the KDE 3.2 Alpha 1 codenamed 'Brokenboring' including KDevelop 3.0 Alpha 6 on the ftp server (the mirrors should soon pick it up). There won't be any binary packages for this release because the KDE 'P(a)i' release is coming out soon. Everyone using it is asked to compile it with --enable-debug, so we can get valuable feedback. There is a new unstable version of Konstruct to install it."

    Here, that wasn't very difficult you know.

    Matthias Ettrich and Warwick Allison (just to name a couple of KDE developers) were open source KDE developers first and only after their great acheivements in KDE were they hired by TrollTech. The same is true for most of their other employees - they cut their teeth on the open source KDE platform first. The original KDE team was pretty indifferent to licensing issues and they only cared about using the best written GUI software platform available at the time, namely Qt.

    TrollTech is not the self-serving evil company you make it out to be. They actually care about writing quality code - and it shows in their products.

    And no, I'm not a TrollTech employee. I've just used their software in the past commercially and was very impressed by it.
