Many new features and refinements make KDE the complete free desktop
environment
29 November 2005 (The Internet) - The KDE Project [1] is happy to announce a
new major release of the award-winning [2] K Desktop Environment. Many
features have been added or refined, making KDE the most complete, stable and
integrated free desktop environment available.
Notable changes include:
- Konqueror is the second major web browser to pass the Acid2 CSS test, ahead
of Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera [3]
- Konqueror can also now free webpages from adverts with its ad-block feature
- SuperKaramba is included in KDE, providing well-integrated and
easy-to-install widgets for the user's desktop
- Kopete has support for MSN and Yahoo! webcams
- The edutainment module has three new applications (KGeography, Kanagram and
blinKen), and has seen huge improvements in Kalzium
For a more complete log of changes see:

Stephan Kulow, KDE Release Coordinator, said: "The improvements made in the
past year show how mature the KDE Project is. KDE is the most powerful
desktop environment and development platform in the market. With huge changes
expected in KDE 4, our next release, KDE 3.5 should provide users with the
perfect productivity platform for the next couple of years."

[3] Safari, developed by Apple using the same technology as Konqueror (KHTML,
which they call Webcore), narrowly beat us to release. Find out more about
Safari and KDE here: http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/webcore
