KDE 4.1 Beta 1 Released

Posted by timothy on from the when-improvements-amplify-each-other dept.

appelza contributed a link to Tuesday's announcement of the next step toward KDE 4.1: "The KDE Project is proud to announce the first beta release of KDE 4.1. Beta 1 is aimed at testers, community members and enthusiasts in order to identify bugs and regressions, so that 4.1 can fully replace KDE 3 for end users. KDE 4.1 beta 1 is available as binary packages for a wide range of platforms, and as source packages. KDE 4.1 is due for final release in July 2008." I haven't used KDE much for the past few years, but the screenshots of a "grown-up" plasma are enough to make me correct that.

    Does it run on linux? I tried to run the 4.0 version on Linux (Linux Mint 4.0). I have to say, NO, it does not run on Linux.

      Actually, they included rounded corners and JavaScript, which allowed them to add gratuitous AJAX. The result is KDE 4.1 2.0 Beta. Since it's not entirely done yet and they're still testing they released a beta version, KDE 4.1 2.0 Beta Beta.

    Sure. And on Mac OS X and on Windows too. And even on BSD (although I heard that it is dying).
