KDE 4.0 Released
-----------------
The KDE Community is thrilled to announce the immediate availability of KDE
4.0. This significant release marks both the end of the long and intensive
development cycle leading up to KDE 4.0 and the beginning of the KDE 4 era.
The KDE 4 Libraries have seen major improvements in almost all areas. The
Phonon multimedia framework provides platform independent multimedia support
to all KDE applications, the Solid hardware integration framework makes
interacting with (removable) devices easier and provides tools for better
powermanagement.
The KDE 4 Desktop has gained some major new capabilities. The Plasma desktop
shell offers a new desktop interface, including panel, menu and widgets on
the desktop as well as a dashboard function. KWin, the KDE Window manager,
now supports advanced graphical effects to ease interaction with your
windows.
Lots of KDE Applications have seen improvements as well. Visual updates
through vector-based artwork, changes in the underlying libraries, user
interface enhancements, new features, even new applications -- you name it,
KDE 4.0 has it. Okular, the new document viewer and Dolphin, the new
filemanager are only two applications that leverage KDE 4.0's new
technologies.
The Oxygen Artwork team provides a breath of fresh air on the desktop. Nearly
all user-visible parts of the KDE desktop and applications have been given a
facelift. Beauty and consistency are two of the basic concepts behind Oxygen.
