KDE 4.0 RC 1 Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the who-wants-to-restart-x11 dept.

angryfirelord writes "The KDE Community is happy to announce the immediate availability of the first release candidate for KDE 4.0. This release candidate marks that the majority of the components of KDE 4.0 are now approaching release quality. While the final bits of Plasma, the brand new desktop shell and panel in KDE 4, are falling into place, the KDE community decided to publish a first release candidate for the KDE 4.0 Desktop. Release Candidate 1 is the first preview of KDE 4.0 which is suitable for general use and discovering the improvements that have taken place all over the KDE codebase."

    Why don't you investigate your site and let us know?
    Why ask us and then give that webaddress?
    Too lazy to go there yourself?

    All that because you don't like the release system KDE uses? WTF?
    Who cares if they call their beta releases banana's and their release candidates apples?
    It's up to the distributions and the community to decide whether or not the release is good to include/deploy or not.

    So what's the worst case scenario? You have to wait a few months until you get a 4.0.1? Few! If that's the biggest problem you have, count yourself lucky.

    How about you starting to have some respect for the developers and all the people that put hard work into this release?
    How about you showing some understanding for the fact that only a tiny fraction of their intended target audience is going to install a beta or RC and that it's practically impossible for them to test each and every possible situation without your help.

    Shees!

    P.S. With or without disclaimers, shooting half-truths and BS around in the dark, you're still a troll. If you have a problem, file a fracking bug report.

    In Vista's new Explorer, I can search for those files in the same number of keystrokes: alt-d + tab + *.txt.0. No mouse movement required. Plus I can move backward and forward to cycle through previous-such searches without having to retype the search.
