KDE 4.0 Beta 1 Released

dbhost writes "Along with this morning's cup of coffee and log reviews, I discovered that the KDE team is moving forward with a long awaited beta release of KDE 4.0 beta release of KDE 4.0. The most interesting item I found in the notes is that the file manager in KDE is being separated from Konqueror into a component called Dolphin. Also, according to the announcement, konsole has been treated to a number of improvements such as split view, and history highlighting."

Re:ambitious

obviously you don't use open source software as you've shown a complete misunderstanding of how the development process works.. also-- KDE 4.0 is in beta, most of the *ambitious* features HAVE been implemented... msfanboi? is that you?

konsole improved?

I didn't see the simplest improvement in konsole listed:

rm konsole && cp xterm konsole

Re:KDE4 != KDE 4.0

I would personally prefer it if you the KDE development team didn't try to sell vaporware. I'm trying to think of a generous reason for this deliberate piece of confusion, but all I'm coming up with are negative explanations.
