First KDE 4 Snapshot Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pretty-gooeys dept.

Rich writes "KDE has just released the first developer snapshot of KDE 4. This release isn't for end users, but should help developers who want to begin writing applications for the KDE 4 desktop. This release already includes a new CMake based build system, a change from DCOP to DBUS and of course a port to Qt 4. If you're interested in desktop development, check it out."

    They let me do this with dbus

    No, I've used dbus too. But there's nothing like dcop, especially for such hooks for mundane things.

    But I guess, it is a good thing KDE and gnome are converging ... for the linux desktop, at least in the short term.
