April 2, 2008 (The INTERNET). The KDE Community today announced the immediate 
availability of KDE 4.0.3, the third bugfix and maintenance release for the 
latest generation of the most advanced and powerful free desktop. KDE 4.0.3 
is the third monthly update to KDE 4.0. It ships with a basic desktop and 
many other packages; like administration programs, network tools, educational 
applications, utilities, multimedia software, games, artwork, web development 
tools and more. KDE's award-winning tools and applications are available in 
49 languages.

Enhancements

KDE 4.0.3 comes with an impressive amount of bugfixes and improvements. Most 
of them are recorded in the changelog. KDE continues to release updates for 
the 4.0 desktop on a monthly basis. KDE 4.1, which will bring large 
improvements to the KDE desktop and application will be released in July this 
year. 

KDE 4.0.3 improvements revolve around lots of bugfixes and translation 
updates. Corrections have been made in such a way that results in only a 
minimal risk of regressions. For KDE, it is also a way to deliver bugfixes 
quickly to the users. An excerpt from the changelog reveals that nearly all 
modules in KDE have seen lots of improvements. Again, the KHTML team has done 
an awesome job in improving the user experience with the Konqueror web 
browser.
* Scrolling optimisations in KHTML, KDE's HTML rendering engine 
* Improved handling of dialog windows in KWin, KDE's window manager 
* Various rendering improvements in Okular, KDE's document viewer

  color palette formats
