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."
it was one of the Google Summer of Code projectsh tml

it is in trunk, will be in 4.0
Konqueror (I suppose with the Apple patches in, thanks guys) now succeeds at rendering the ACID2 Webstandard-Tests (yes, we know that it's not an official standard. Firefox still can't do this.
And best of all, its got AdBlock-like functionality integrated, that works like a charm. Even with the Filter G Set for Mozilla Adblock.
That's one less user for Firefox, I'm sticking to Konqueror now as it is faster and not as memory-greedy.
Check it out!
Why should I care?
Really, in the best writing classes that I've ever taken, the instructed always made the point that a writer should always be first concerned with why would the reader care about the subject matter.
I looked all over KDE's website. About all I could find was "Here's a new beta. Try it and tell us what you think." But, nowhere did it give me any reason to want to try it. I use KDE on a production basis, but there's no reason for me to go poking around and messing with stuff that ain't broken unless there is some benefit to realize.
Hey, guys and gals. I know ya'll've been working on something. What have you fixed/upgraded/added?
Aah, change is good. -- Rafiki
Yeah, but it ain't easy. -- Simba
KDE's WAF an KidAF scores are pretty high in my household. Maybe you need to upgrade your W?
Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
