KDE 3.2 'Rudi' Beta Released
An anonymous reader writes "The beta of the next version of KDE, billed as 'the premiere Open Source desktop', has been released. Read the announcement at KDE.org. Notable features include a big clean up of the interface and menus, Improvements to KHTML from Apple, better accessibility and hardware support. There are also new applications such as JuK (a music player similar to iTunes), KDevelop (a graphical IDE), Kontact (an integrated communications package like Outlook) and more. Download it here and since this is a beta, report any problems or bugs you have." Also, nukem996 points out "The counter-terrorism unit on TV series '24' went KDE this season, too."
For the record KDevelop is not a new application. Maybe the submitter was referring to the newest beta version being included in the KDE 3.2 beta?

I have been using them since Friday and they work great!
No, i don't like sigs...
This is another site that talks about 24 using KDE, since the link in the article seems to be /.'ed, or just dead to begin with. I didn't notice this on 24... how cool is that?
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
You heard wrong. Apple kept the development of Safari secret, so the improvement to KHTML was not integrated right away, but when they announced Safari, they sent a rather large patch to KDE that took too long to integrate to make it for KDE 3.1. Since then it has apparently worked smoothly (I am not a khtml-developer though).
