    They told that GNOME 2.6 would not get it into sarge. The release date for sarge was pushed further. And GNOME 2.6 made it into sarge.

    From what I understand, it wasn't a major graphical overhaul. You can find an official feature plan here. It looks like KHTML, the Kicker, and the PIM suite (plus Kopete) got the big additions.

    It mostly looks like KDE 3.3 but with Plastik as default style and window decoration.

  5. KSVG.... by oliverthered · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sadly missed will be support for Animations,CSS, Paths and Filters from ksvg..

    It would have been nice for them to drive to finish off core existing features

    Shouldn't it just be a 3.3.2 as the only major new feature I can see is XSL, xpath and editing support for khtml and a few async speed ups here an there (dbus anyone?)

    ALSA+Jack is good stuff. Way better than Arts. Arts only serves to hog the ALSA output and send you to the console to killall artsd.

    Is ALSA+Jack network transparent like artsd & esd? There needs to be a way to get audio when running KDE remote over a LAN.

    The future is bright, the future is orange.

    Surely that depends on what background you have underneath your transparent window - it could be a murky brown colour.
