Test KDE 3.3's Public Release Candidate

Posted by timothy on from the if-you-dare-bwahahaha dept.

HulkProtector1 writes "The latest version of KDE beta 3.3 has been released. This version has already received a lot of feedback and has been deemed stable enough for a public release candidate. The KDE team requests that all testers try and break this release as soon as possible, as the bug reports are invaluable to the developers. Please note that binary packages will not be available for this version. Then source code can be downloaded from download.kde.org (or alternately use the excellent Konstruct build tool). For a list of new features skim over the KDE 3.3 Feature Plan."

    Have they worked on the spell checker that would sometimes just turn off, or would not work if aspell or ispell are not installed? One of these should be installed by default.

    What about the clip-board where you would sometimes want to highlight some text [for replacement], only to find that it has replaced the text you had in the so called X-clip board? I know it is configurable but Joe Six Pack has always found problems. A behavior more like that found in M$ windows is more acceptable. Here, the geeks can choose not to synchronize the two clip-boards.

  2. Is it efficient? by Viol8 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Or does it still suck up disk and cpu like its going out of fashion? Until the teams at KDE and Gnome can write efficient code as well as they can write bloatware then I'm sticking with Afterstep. Still , they wanted to emulate Windows and they've done it in more ways than many people thought they would.

    Yeah , mod me down as a troll if you will but lots of other people I know who use linux and BSD are of the same opinion.
