March 5, 2008 (The INTERNET). The KDE Community today announced the immediate 
availability of KDE 4.0.2, the second bugfix and maintenance release for the 
latest generation of the most advanced and powerful free desktop. KDE 4.0.2 
ships with a basic desktop and many other packages like administration, 
network, education, utilities, multimedia, games, artwork, web development 
and more. KDE's award-winning tools and applications are available in almost 
49 languages. 

KDE, including all its libraries and its applications, is available for free 
under Open Source licenses. KDE can be obtained in source and various binary 
formats from http://download.kde.org and can also be obtained on CD-ROM or 
with any of the major GNU/Linux and UNIX systems shipping today. 
Enhancements 

KDE 4.0.2 is a maintenance release which provides corrections of problems 
reported using the KDE bug tracking system and enhanced support for existing 
and new translations. For KDE 4.0.2, the Documentation and Translation teams 
have made an exception to the usual policy of not changing user-visible 
strings, so the Plasma developers could introduce some new features for this 
KDE version. 
Improvements in this release include, but are not limited to: 

* New features in Plasma. The size and position of the panel can now be 
configured, the visibility of a number of option is now improved to makes it 
easier for new users to discover how Plasma works and what it provides. 

* Farsi and Icelandic version of KDE 4.0.2 further improve localisation, other 
translations have been improved further. KDE 4.0.2 is available in 49 
languages. 
* Repainting issues have been addressed in the KHTML webbrowser engine. KHTML 
now also supports more websites by accepting more non-HTML4-compliant 
documents. 

Several stability issues have been fixed in Kopete, KDE's instant messenger 
and Okular, the document reader.

For a more detailed list of improvements since the KDE 4.0.1 release last 
month, please refer to the KDE 4.0.2 Changelog. 
 Additional information about the enhancements of the KDE 4.0.x release series 
is available in the KDE 4.0 announcement and in the KDE 4.0.1 announcement.
