 </b>KDE is happy to announce the release of new versions of many of our \
applications. From games, education and even small utilities, these applications \
become more powerful, yet easy to use as they mature in this version. Below are just \
a few highlights from some of the new applications released today.  
-<ul>
-    <li><b>Marble </b>continues to shine with improved route planning support, now \
also allowing downloading of routing data. Its mobile version <b>MarbleToGo</b> is \
now a very capable turn-by-turn navigator. Pictures and videos are available on <a \
href="http://dot.kde.org/2010/11/10/kdes-marble-team-holds-first-contributor-sprepareprint">dot.kde.org</a>.</li>

-<h2>KDE Games</h2>
-<ul>
-    <li><b>Klickety</b>, an adaptation of the Clickomania game, makes a comeback in \
                KDE Games 4.6, also replacing KSame through a compatibility \
                mode.</li>
-    <li>The KGameRenderer framework unifies theming across games, giving a more \
consistent and smooth look and feel. About a dozen of the KDE games have been ported \
to this new architecture, reducing memory usage and allowing them to take advantage \
                of multicore processors.</li>
-    <li>Palapeli's new puzzle slicer splits images into distinctive and \
authentic-looking pieces, a bevel effect makes pieces appear three-dimensional. \
                Palapeli's "Create New Puzzle" dialog has seen usability \
                improvements.</li>
-    <li><b>Kajongg</b>'s Improved documentation to explains the game to beginners, \
more intelligent robot player, and improved usability and playability due to better \
                tile-handling.</li>

+<h2>Dolphin Adds Faceted Browsing</h2>
 <p>
 The search interfaces of Kfind and Dolphin have been unified in a new, simplified \
search bar. Faceted browsing makes its public debut in the form of a Filter Panel \
that enables you to easily browse your indexed files using their metadata. A new \
sidebar allows for faceted searching, an enhancement to the traditional filebrowsing \
using metadata as additional filters.  </p>
