First look: KDE 4.1 beta 2 shows solid improvements
,----[ Quote ]
| The developers of the open source KDE desktop environment announced the
| availability of the second KDE 4.1 beta release this week. This version has
| many improvements to usability and overall robustness compared to the
| previous beta. I tested KDE 4.1 beta 2 with a LiveCD build of openSUSE 11.

Screencast: Showing Off KDE 4.1
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE 4.1, which is supposed to become the KDE4 version usable by 'normal'
| people, is coming at the end of July. When Ars reviewed the beta release,
| they were positive in that it was moving forward at an "extraordinary pace".
| Despite the positive notions in the news, many seem to have problems actually
| seeing all the new stuff being done in KDE4 - just like how people fail to
| see the massive amount of work put into Vista. KDE developer Rafael Fernandez
| Lopez (I'm sorry for the lack of diacritical marks, an OSNews bug we're
| working on) decided to put together a screencast showing off all the new
| stuff coming in KDE 4.1.

I've been using kde 4.1 now since it was released. It's been a wonderful
experience having a look at cutting edge software and all I have to say is;
the kde 4.x branch is going to be a wonderful upgrade to 3.5x.
As 4.x is developed, more and more common, everyday applications are being
upgraded as well and just over it, a great experience.
In summary... fantastic. It's better than the move from kde 2.x to 3.x...

You better read the forums because KDE4.x is going down in history as a
disaster.
I will give you that kde 2.0 to 3.0 was a great upgrade, it really was.
Faster, more eye candy and super stable.
However 4.x is not like that at all.
It's a clusterfsck.

It's still in beta though. It hasn't been released yet. The final will be
better as developers code more and blog less. x.0 and x.1 branches are rarely
as mature as x.5 though. KDE4 was compared to Boeing 747. It's a big
investment that pays off a lot at the end.

"More robust" means that all of the previous KDE 4.x releases where heaping
piles of dogshit. The mess called KDE 4.x is an embarrassment to linux and
OSS. It's an unstable piece of garbage that is forever in beta quality.

Why do you write such venomous lies? Could it be because you don't know
hat you are talking about. The KDE developers themselves have said many
users should wait until 4.s, at least, before making the switch.
And, maybe you can point to anyone that is embarrassed by KDE 4.x.

I bet his game will be to say that since there will be future releases in
the 4 "series" that KDE 4.0 is not really a final release.
But it is.
And it is, clearly, a beta.

I never put it down for being a beta... I merely noted it is. Do you think

4.0 final is a beta. No problem with that... just an odd naming convention.

Not of 4.0, but 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 and maybe some others have already come out.
I am sure KDE 4.1 final is going to come out sometime soon...

You claim that the "KDE guys will be abandoning KDE 4" and then tell me to
inform them of what you say they are doing.
Dude, they are not as over their head as you are - they know what they are
doing.

So, you recognize that there will be future releases of KDE 4, as in "

KDE4 is a disaster. There WAS a *final release* and it was a piece of crap.

It doesn't matter and it's completely orthogonal to the topic.
If there will never be another KDE release it doesn't change the fact that
the current *final release* of KDE4 is crap.
If the KDE team puts out a new release every week for the next year will
also not change the fact that the current *final release* of KDE4 is crap.
Your question is pointless. It doesn't matter whether or not there will be
more KDE4 releases. The fact is that the current *final release* is crap.
