The KDE Project today announced the immediate availability of KDE 3.5.8, a 
maintenance release for the latest generation of the most advanced and 
powerful free desktop for GNU/Linux and other UNIXes. KDE now supports 65 
languages, making it available to more people than most non-free software and 
can be easily extended to support others by communities who wish to 
contribute to the open source project. 

 While the developers' main focus lies on finishing KDE 4.0, the stable 3.5 
series remains the desktop of choice for the time being. It is proven, stable 
and well supported. The 3.5.8 release with its literally hundreds of bugfixes 
has again improved the users' experience. The main focus of improvements for 
KDE 3.5.8 is 

* Improvements in Konqueror and its web browsing component KHTML. Bugs in 
  handling HTTP connections have been fixed, KHTML has improved support of 
  some CSS features for more standards compliance. 

* In the kdegraphics package, lots of fixes in KDE's PDF viewer and 
  Kolourpaint, a painting application, went into this release. 

* The KDE PIM suite has, as usual, seen numerous stability fixes, covering 
  KDE's email client KMail, the organizer application KOrganizer and various 
  other bits and pieces. 

For a more detailed list of improvements since the KDE 3.5.7 release on the 
22nd May 2007, please refer to the KDE 3.5.8 Changelog. [ 
http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog3_5_7to3_5_8.php ]

KDE 3.5.8 ships with a basic desktop and fifteen other packages (PIM, 
administration, network, edutainment, utilities, multimedia, games, artwork, 
web development and more). KDE's award-winning tools and applications are 
available in 65 languages.
