KDE 3.5 Beta 1 Announced
christchurch writes "The KDE Project has announced the immediate availability of KDE 3.5 Beta 1, dubbed "Kanzler". This will be the last major release in the KDE 3 series. Qt 3.3.5 was released too late to adapt to it and it shows some fundamental compilation problems. We had a preview of KDE 3.5 two months ago."
HTML isn't WYSIWYG. Browsers can and do render pages differently for display vs. printing. If a separate style sheet is supplied for printing, the difference can be drastic.

I'm not sure I understand your point here.
Are you an Apple developer so you know that they are "newbie developers" ? Do you know that they littered their source? Have you even looked at WebCore?
I did, and it is one of the tightest integration of an HTML engine I've ever seen.
I presume you miss the goal of what was to accomplish:
1. the KHTML want to make a full-fledged HTML engine
2. the Apple guys want to make an Apple Webbrowser(!)
there are fundamentally different concepts of the two being compatible in the process of engineering. that the KHTML guys wanted to know what they did is understandable, as per required by the license, but, once more, the Apple guys were never obliged to make the
source "generic" as the KHTML engine would need it (one could wish).
it was only after this reputation clash, that they opened up all of their WebCore to show their good will.
so no bad rep. to apple for this. also no bad rep. to khtml for this. why?
because in the end, what matters is, that both of the projects improved.
IMHO I have to agree.
Take the recent Gnome release. A few screenshots, a bit of bragging about what they felt was cool and a simple overview that showed they had added some interesting stuff. Got me interested enough to go look at Ubuntu.
Now look at the KDE. All we have is a feature plan which isn't even directly linked to anywhere on the page. Now add that a lot of people aren't interested in how replacing the klistbox with a klistview will improve usability. The end result is that the average user won't get the information that tells them why 3.5 is going to rock their world, and compel them to upgrade.
Sure its a beta, but even then, it would be nice to know what is planned/implemented thats in plain English.
