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.

      This is a really strange property of the /. community... A joke that is years old still gets modded up :) The web might have got a little older, but it's still as little understood as ever.

    Oh...Like KDE 4.1 removing the ability to have desktop icons is "giving users more options".

    awesome.

    KDE 4.1 has completely removed the ability to put files or icons on the desktop. That doesn't really sound like "You can do it this way, but you can also configure your own way" to me...
