KDE 3.4 Released
andy753421 links to today's announcement of the official release of KDE 3.4, and writes "Several KDE 3.4 based distributions such as ArkLinux and Kubuntu are soon to follow. Features in the release include built in Text to Speech, a revamped trash system, enhanced PDF support and PC to PC synchronization, as well as a new theme. KDE 3.4 weights in at 6,500+ bug fixes, 1,700+ enhancements, and a grand total of 80,000+ contributions." Reader gotr00t adds a link to the KDE download mirror page . Update: 03/16 20:58 GMT by T : mrevell points out an interview with KDE hacker Aaron Seigo in the latest LugRadio, in which Seigo "dispels various myths about KDE and talks about the desktop environment's future."

Plus the 1000+ posts that are going to come in this slashdot article from kde vs. gnome folks.
Is it still super fat? How much drive bloat is this new pig?
Does it support a 1-button mouse?
and i JUST finished recompiling it.
crap.
This is my opinion. Everyone has a right to my opinion.
It should be a great version.. Thanks KDE development team.
Let's not forget Mepis. Another KDE based distro as well and getting much press as of late.

1) Kongratulations!
2) All your GUI are belong to KDE!
3) I, for one, welcome our new K-based overlords!
4) In Soviet Russia, KDE releases YOU!
That ought to cover the major ones. Carry on with the inevitable GNOME/KDE/XFCE/X flamefest now.
Everyone loves pretty pictures!

In three months, we'll have a story about how it runs on gentoo.
...and with the advent of qt4 maybe we'll be running KDE on windows sometimes soon?
http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.4.php

is there no category for GUI development etc yet?
it could just as easily have stayed in BSD: could it not?
hey gnome don't have 80.000 developers
isn't it ?
the ebuilds are already up for gentoo though you may need to unmask them at the moment.
i should add the really cool thing this brings for gentoo users is the way kde packages have been split up to allow only the needed packages to be installed
Why is this story under BSD???
You can thank me by down-modding this lame post.
New theme huh ? The screenshots section on the kde page doesn't include any 3.4 screens... PLZ post a link, thanks.
Gnome is still has a slicker interface, too bad the devs have isolated themselves from the community, unlike the KDE guys. More power to em if thats what they want.
Will gnome ever have a menu editor ? And if so.. will they package it in gnome-extras.. as if the whole thing never happened ? Probably.
Damn Slashdot Editors... and stuff. :)

Very polished, much cleaner than before, faster, insanely great new KPDF, all in all really nice.
I think this is a worthy ending to KDE3 and really makes me look forward to what's in store for KDE4.
Congratulations devs, well done.
It's the most popular desktop environment for BSD? It lets KDE and GNOME stories be put in separate sections so we don't get quite as many flamewars?

The National Weather Service has issued an alert for the entirety of the United States. An unusual buildup of heat is expected over the next few days related to a sudden and massive increase in processor usage of select personal computers across the country.
This alert is based off of previous temperature surges related to the release of the 'KDE' software package to users of the 'Gentoo' operating system. As another release of this package has just occurred, the National Weather Service is issuing this alert so relief organizations can be prepared. Special attention is to be paid to the south-western united states due to unseasonably high temperatures, and high concentrations of personal computer equipment.
An additional National Weather Service extreme temperature WARNING has been issued for the Silicon Valley region.

What the hell has it got to do with Linux? KDE even runs on cygwin.
BSD: KDE 3.4 Released
Call me ignorant, but what does KDE have to do with BSD?
Now that this topic is under Linux:, I can ask the same question - what does KDE have to do with Linux?
KDE is independent of either.
Looking at all these change highlights makes me question the development process of these huge window managers--GNOME as well as KDE. Why do they spend so much effort developing new apps for every common task? For example, why is there a KOffice and GNOME Office when I can just use OpenOffice instead? Why Kopete, when I could use Gaim? It seems that the developers' time would be better spent improving the core functions of the window manager.
Call me ignorant, but what does KDE have to do with BSD?
:) Popular desktop on both.
...
Mr. Helmet:
Well, KDE has about as much to do with BSD as it does with Linux
My intent was to make it basically in the Linux section (since many more KDE users are using Linux -- I assert, without numbers, just observation, and I could be wrong, and a moose once bit my sister and and and), cross-listed in the BSD section.
A peculiarity of the Slashdot backend means I picked the wrong order / weighting for KDE vs. Linux; I updated the story to fix this. No slight is meant toward Linux users, BSD users, Gnome users, those who enjoy boiled eggs with dill of a winter evening

The lupinomorphically challenged, for one.
If you don't need it, noone is forcing you to install a dynamic MOON PHASE display.
This way, people that want such a thing can have it and people that don't want it, don't have to bother.
It's an inasanely great concept, isn't it?
First of all, that thing has been there since KDE 1.0. It's a toy, and I doubt it requires much maintenance, so why not leave it in? What do you expect from something in the "kdetoys" package, anyway?
Second, the current moon phase is very important for amateur astronomers. A full moon makes it nearly impossible to see anything but the brightest objects in the sky, because of the glare. Also, if you want to look at the moon itself, the best time is not when it's full (because everything is so bright and washed out), but when it's at approximately 1/2 phase, because the shadows show depth.
This space intentionally left blank.
I'm still waiting and using the e17 window manager, let's see when the "usable" releases will come.

I'm not a great developer but anytime I see a project that has 6,500 bug fixes I start to wonder if it's not time to rewrite that program.
Gnome is better.
KDE 3.4 weighs in at 6,500+ bug fixes,
Today, EDS released a report on the quality of open source software.
Citing over 6,000 known bugs in KDE 3.3 versus zero known bugs in Microsoft Windows, Senior EDS Industry Analyst Joe Isuzu said, "There is no question that open source software is of very poor quality and completely unreliable, the evidence is very clear for anyone to see. Microsoft Windows is head and shoulders above the free alternatives, downhill in a hurricane."
Jeez, people get modded down for stating valid opinions now?
That's been in kdetoys since 2.x at least, hasn't it?
If you don't want the "toys", don't install "kdetoys".
The K stands for Krappy.
In North Korea only old people use KDE.
I'd prefer a desktop with a smelly foot as a logo.
Yeah, but does it run Linux?
SCNR.
Last week I just upgraded to kde 3.3 because i figured it has allthe buggs worked out. Oh well i wait a few months and get 3.4, only to have 3.5 come out a week later
Does it run on Windows? :)
There is, somewhere i saw in RC1, transparency and shading feats. Stabilize them and i'm all KDE.
This is my opinion. Everyone has a right to my opinion.
There's an interesting myth based on moon-phases. It's one that states people go a little nutty during a full moon. I've heard stories from hospitals, libraries, and other public places where there's a higher amount of "strange behavior" during full moons.
Personally, I have the moon phase plugin for my gkrellm -- a somewhat-joking "heads-up" if you work with the general public.
If nothing else, knowing the moon-phase can help a little with your nethack strategy, right?
Then again, maybe I'm just another Lunatic.

Call me ignorant, but what does KDE have to do with BSD?
About as much as it has to do with Linux; it's the leading desktop environment* for the BSDs.
* Before you start to flame, take a look at things like the number of distributions that default to KDE, the number of awards it has won, how popular it is in online polls, etc.
Hopefully, it is like the microsoft trash system. Clippy "You seem to want to throw away a document. Would you like me to do it for you."

I have to say, KDE is starting to get really good. And they seem to be cranking out improvements faster than they did in past years.
A couple more versions, and they'll probably have caught up to/surpassed what you get with a Mac or XP system. GUI-wise, anyway. Underneath it's already better.
The only complaint I really have about Linux on the desktop these days is the confusing layout of the filesystem. Which isn't KDE's fault. I hate having programs located in 5 different directories, with their configuration files in yet ANOTHER directory. I'm used to it, and it makes sense in a way. But I'd like to see all non-OS exectuables in their own folder under one "Program Files" folder, along with their configuration files. All the "system" files could go under a "System" folder.
But that'll never happen. It would break EVERYTHING.
You know, there are a lot of disabled people out there, and providing technology for them is great and doesn't have anything to do with clippy.
Oh, and by disabled I don't me intellectually challenged people like you, because all the computing power in the world available today wouldn't be enough to help you.
KDE is dying. So...
Perhaps you could make it change icon every five minutes or so, between Linux and BSD?
It would not only give fair coverage to both, but also create some amusing flame wars.

The screenshot gallery linked by the parent comment features KDE 3.4 Release Candidate, not the final version.
(Yes, I realize it's probably very similar, but I went through a few screens thinking "well, seems like it hasn't changed a bit from the RC I'm running here" until I noticed the gallery title.)
The filesystem is the package manager
Khoice.
or some similar message. Something that I can't fix. Running KDE 3.2 and previously 3.1, this is the first time I've actually considered looking at Gnome instead.
I've tried googling, I've looked at the kde bugs pages quite a few times, I've asked on irc kde-user, kde-something else, kde-one more, multiple times on each at different times of day different days, I've searched the kde user list, other kde lists, lists of various distros, through at least 500,000 emails and probably closer to a million if I include all the list archives, and nothing.
dcop keeps crashing, I know temporary workarounds to restart kde (kdeinit) but there remain unresolved problems because some processes belong to the old dcop or I close them and lose where I am, its just a workaround not resolving the problem.
I've even gone as far as uninstalling and reinstalling kde after deleting all config files and starting fresh and the problem just hit me again today after about a week of normal running.
Problem normally shows up when opening a new tab on konqueror after having many tabs open or opening and closing many tabs over a few days or more. Get the error, then new tabs can't open, can't start a new konqueror window from kicker panel, etc. rm'ing and kdeinit'ing works ok normally, but then have to restart kicker, restart several other processes I know to restart, but not as stable as rebooting, dcop will crash sooner than if rebooting, and other processes (ctrl-f2, ktimer, other kde apps) won't work (some or all, listing from memory).
kde needs to fix this problem, not a workaround. Not for me because I don't care anymore. For others, especially newbies.
timothy, can you please update the KDE logo to our new one? It looks much better and slashdot should reflect kde's preferred logo. thanks.
I left eyeball exploded when I saw it. How could you do it, Timmeh?
Does Konqueror still have those horrible menus that expand horizontally rather than scroll vertically like they should?
I am just waiting until debian (unstable) upgrades to this release so i can check out the zeroconf support. If it does what is promised (easy networking) then I will be ONE HAPPY CAMPER!

Your ignorance is infinitely greater than you realize.
Don't leave it in because less is more. Xfoil is very useful to aerodynamicists wanting quick, basic evaluations of airfoil performance. Do we include it in KDE too? No, because 99% of KDE users don't need it and it would only clutter an already huge menu. Look at OS X. Everything is minimalist; there are no unnecessary buttons, boxes or menus. That's because Apple actually focuses on satisfying 95% of their consumers 99% as well as possible, while KDE attempts to satisfy 100% maybe 70% as well. KDE developers and everyone else want to stick in everything and the kitchen sink, Apple just wants to make something that's simple and that works, which is why OS X kicks the shit out of everything else GUI-wise.
People needing anything esoteric or technical can fetch what they need on their own, because they're not idiots. Astronomers would install their own moon-phase tracking software, because they're astronomers and know how to go about doing that. Scientists routinely customize their software for their specific needs, throwing in a random handful of "maybe-useful" apps into KDE does nothing to alleviate that. All it does is make KDE look more bloated than everything else, especially to all the people who don't need to track moon phases.
Linux, open source and almost everything in America is defined by one theme: little things should disproportiately influence big things to satisfy everyone. If people realized the fallibility of this, then all GUI and technical communication design would vastly improve. Alas though, everyone wants to embrace complexity because it's "cool," and is stuck in missing the forest for the trees.
I vehemently disagree, as does most of the computer using community, since most menus (quite sanely) scroll vertically. Horizontally-expanding menus completely usurp the user's desktop, and that is always a bad interface implementation. If I want to keep the menu to a single column, I am forced to keep a very limited number entries- the choice is not mine anymore, but is made by virtue of the implementation.
I'm awaiting for KDE 3.4. :)
KDE + FreeBSD is a great combination
Need? Well, since you asked, I always have the moon phase applet running. I'm interested recently in astronomical cycles, and related programs. So I guess I don't really need a moon phase applet, but I use it and am glad that someone took the time to make it. Oh and BTW:

> Horizontally-expanding menus completely usurp the user's desktop, and that is always a bad interface implementation.
So tell me, what is the user is going to be doing with their desktop whilst they are selecting an item from the menu?
As a user I would prefer to not be able to see my desktop, but be able to see exactly where the item I want to select is, and be able to do it as quickly as possible, rather than still be able to see my desktop, but unable to see the item I want to choose from the menu and then have to waste time scrolling through a list to find what I want.
Scrolling menus are absolutely horrible to deal with, particularly if you are unfortunate enough to want to select an item that is not among the selections available when the menu opens.
Advanced users are users too!
Sir, your post demonstrates a highly regrettable cultural intolerance towards werewolves.
I suggest that you educate yourself about our lupine brothers and sisters.
...since most menus (quite sanely) scroll vertically.
Since when? Please define "most"...
Don't blame me, I didn't vote for either of them!
I'm not sure what you're looking at, but almost every menu *I've* seen or used, is vertical scroll. I'm not a computer neophyte- I've have Apple, Linux, and Windows. I can assure you that the horizontally-expanding menus are not common. At least that's one thing where common sense has prevailed.
I don't have it in Qt, I don't have it in GTK+, I don't have it in Motif. Maybe I just don't have any menus large enough to scroll...
I have seen this in Windows, and I hated it. Of course, I'm not an newbie, so what do I know?
Don't blame me, I didn't vote for either of them!
Well, more specifically, I was referring to Konqueror's Bookmarks menu. Of all menus to use that kind of implementation...it's really quite nasty. The only place I've seen it in Windows is the Start menu, though there might be others.
scrolling menus are the most horrible invention I've come across.
Try having a lot of bookmarks in your webbrowser. With horizontally expanding menus they can expand right off the screen, at which point the menu is completely unusable. Also, the position of the entries does change if the window is moved, and it may not be obvious which column an entry is in.
In Soviet America the banks rob you!
Sigh. And I lost my moderation points just yesterday.
So I've installed SuSE 9.2 on a pentium 266 with 160 MB ram and I can still use the machine up to an acceptable level.
(and it doesn't differ much from the previous windows 98 install)
The best way to accelerate a windows server is by 9.81 m/s2
why would you have that many uncategorized bookmarks?
That's like blaming the designer of a desk that your papers fall off the sides when you overload it.
But you're right, having the menu go off the screen is not good, and it becomes quite a problem to figure out the best way to deal with it.
But I'm not a believer in making the normal case hard so that the rare case is easy.
Advanced users are users too!

i love kde, execpt one thing, and that is the fact that on almost every computer ive seen it running on, the actual interface feels like its java or something of like: its very small interface lag eventually gets on my nerves. but never the less, id rather run it than say gnome for example (which is fast, but ugly and utterly un-configurable)
