Il KDE project release team ha annunciato il rilascio di KDE 4.6, ultima major release del popolare desktop environment di Linux e Unix. È possibile scaricare i file sorgenti di KDE 4.6 dai mirror indicati a questa pagina.

KDE is delighted to announce its latest set of releases, providing major updates to the KDE Plasma workspaces, KDE Applications and KDE Platform. These releases, versioned 4.6, provide many new features in each of KDE's three product lines.

Annunciato il rilascio della seconda release candidate di FreeBSD 7.4.

The second Release Candidate for the FreeBSD 7.4 release cycle is now available. For this build only the amd64, i386, pc98, and sparc64 architectures are available. An initial set of pre-build packages are available on the DVD and CDROM images for the amd64 architecture. At the time the i386 images were created the two large meta-packages that are the bulk of what we normally provide (Gnome and KDE) were not available so there are some packages on the i386 images but what is there is not a reflection of what we expect to include with the final release. Several bugs we feel are critical enough to warrant fixing before the 8.2/7.4 releases are finalized, so the release will be delayed and we will be providing a third Release Candidate about a week from now.

OpenSuse 11.1 ha raggiunto il suo fine vita. Dopo il 13 gennaio non saranno più disponibili aggiornamenti, neanche gli aggiornamenti di sicurezza. Rilasciato il 18 dicembre 2008, openSUSE 11.1 includeva il kernel linux 2.6.27.7 , KDE 4.1.3 e 3.5.10, GNOME 2.24.1, Firefox 3.0.4 e OpenOffice 3. OpenSuse 11.2 raggiungerà il suo fine vita il prossimo 12 maggio 2011, OpenSuse 11.3 il 15 gennaio 2012.

Annunciato il rilascio di Kde 4.5.5, il quinto e ultimo aggiornamento alla ultima major release del popolare desktop Linux e Unix.

Today, KDE has issued a series of stable updates to the Plasma workspaces, the various applications and the KDE development frameworks, versioned 4.5.5. Between 4.5.4 and 4.5.5 there have been 54 commits to the codebase, so the somewhat meagre changelog does not include all the fixes. The usual rules apply, so this update only includes bugfix and translation update. KDE recommends everyone running 4.5.4 or earlier versions to install this update.

Annunciato il rilascio della seconda release candidate di Kde, ambiente grafico (desktop environment) per sistemi unix, linux e bsd. Nella RC2 sono stati corretti alcuni bug e sono stati inseriti gli aggiornamenti di traduzione. Il rilascio della versione finale di Kde 4.6 è previsto per il 26 gennaio.

Annunciato il rilascio della prima release candidate di KDE 4.6, nome in codice "Caramel", desktop environment per sistemi Unix, Linux, BSD. È previsto il rilascio di una seconda release candidate per il 5 gennaio 2011, prima del rilascio della versione finale previsto per il 26 gennaio 2011.

Right before christmas, KDE has published the first candidate for the upcoming release of KDE 4.6.0. The focus at this stage is on fixing bugs and completing translations and artwork. As such, the rework of the Oxygen icon set is nearing completion, many bugs reported by testers in the past weeks have been fixed and stabilization is still in full swing. KDE's release team has decided to not include the new release of KDE-PIM, containing the Kontact groupware client and the new KMail2 which is based on the Akonadi groupware cache in this release due to open issue with migration of large sets of data from the traditional client. These bugs are being worked on as we speak, but the risk at this point is too high to include the new Kontact in the 4.6.0 release.

• Kernel 2.6.37rc5-12 is the basis of M5, including the famous "200 line" per tty task groups patch to improve desktop interactivity, and featuring the almost-complete removal of the so-called 'Big Kernel Lock', which should improve scalability. This kernel supports new drivers, including Broadcom wireless and updated open-source graphics drivers, and a host of the usual other improvements.
• Libzypp 8.10.2 adds improved support and fixes for metalinks, the multiple download URL specification.
• On the desktop, the KDE Platform makes the leap to version 4.6 beta with many improvements in the UI and underlying infrastructure. This includes a complete rewrite of Kontact and is undergoing heavy testing. There is a serious chance KDE PIM 4.6 will not make it into the final openSUSE 11.4 release, testing and development is needed!
• KOffice is updated to 2.3 RC superseding beta1, including the exciting Krita natural media painting app. Meanwhile OpenOffice.org is removed, having been succeeded by LibreOffice which is updated to 3.3.0.1.
• GNOME 2.32.1 is now available as the 2.32.2 is the final version planned for openSUSE 11.4, which is notable for being the last stable release before GNOME 3 in March.
