Hello Friends,
I just sent out this announcement to kde-announce.
KDE 1.1.2 has been released, and so it is time to say "Thank
You" to all the people working hard to make it possible. There
are much to many to count: The translators, the artist team,
the packagers, all the people fixing the last bugs.
THANKS!
Now let's have a party today, and then we should forget about
the 1.x branch and and dig into the KDE 2.0 stuff again.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a 2.0 beta as christmas present?
:-)
Bye,
Matthias.

K DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT 1.1.2 SHIPS
New Release of Award-Winning Linux Desktop GUI Features
Look and Feel Improvements and Bugfixes
Internet - Sep 13, 1999 - The K Desktop Environment (KDE) Team
(http://www.kde.org) today announced the shipment of KDE 1.1.2, the
latest release of the Linux de facto standard desktop.
"The last few KDE releases stressed stability and power", explained
Kurt Granroth, a member of the KDE core team. "With the 1.1.2
release, we have also made major improvements to the aesthetic
aspects of the user experience".
KDE 1.1.2 includes the KDE Theme Manager, a new tool enabling users to
change their desktop theme -- ranging from colors and window
decorations to icons and sounds -- with a few simple mouse clicks.
This release includes hundreds of new high quality application and
tool bar icons, created by the very active KDE Artists Team, which
dramatically enhances the appearance of the desktop, the panel, and
various applications.
Further changes include:
o Significant enhancements and bugfixes to the KDE mail client
(kmail);
o New translations -- KDE now supports up to 35 languages;
o Improved stability and HTML compatability in the KDE web browser
and file manager (kfm);
o Numerous bugfixes in many other packages.
KDE 1.1.2 is available for free download from numerous mirrors (see
http://www.kde.org/mirrors.html) and also from KDE's primary ftp
server (ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/1.1.2/distribution/).
Practically all Linux and *BSD distributions are expected to
incorporate KDE 1.1.2 in future releases.
Technical support for KDE is provided by Linux vendors who include KDE
in their distributions. Informal support is also available from an
international group of KDE enthusiasts by joining the KDE Usenet
discussion group (see news://comp.windows.x.kde) or one of the KDE
mailing lists (see http://www.kde.org/contact.html)
