-KMail has a new ability to automatically resize images attached to emails, \
configurable in KMail's settings. KMail also introduces Text Autocorrection, \
including word replacement and capitalize the first letter of a sentence. The \
settings and word lists are shared with Calligra Words and are configurable. HTML \
composer support has been expanded: tables can be inserted, with control over rows \
and colums as well as the ability to merge cells. Defined sizes for images are now \
also supported, as is the ability to insert html code directly . The 'plain text' \
companion to HTML emails was also improved, with HTML tags convertible to plain text \
equivalents. Other improvements to KMail include: opening recent files in the \
composer, adding new Contacts directly from KMail and attaching vcards to emails. \

-This release is dedicated to the memory of KDE contributor <a \
href="http://dot.kde.org/2012/05/20/remembering-claire-lotion">Claire Lotion</a>. \
Claire's vibrant personality and enthusiasm were an inspiration to many in our \
community, and her pioneering work on the format, scope and frequency of our \
developer meetings changed the way we go about implementing our mission today. \
Through these and other activities she left a notable mark on the software we are \
able to release to you today, and we are grateful for and humbled by \
her efforts.</p>

-The KDE Quality Team was set up earlier this year with a goal to improve the general \
levels of quality and stability in KDE software. Special attention was given to \
identifying and fixing regressions from previous releases. This was a top priority \
because it ensures improvement with each release. +The KDE Quality team <a \
href="http://www.sharpley.org.uk/blog/kde-testing">organized a testing program</a> \
for this release, assisting developers by identifying legitimate bugs and carefully \
testing the applications. Thanks to their work, KDE innovation and quality go hand in \
hand. If you are interested in the Quality Team and their work, check out <a \
href="http://community.kde.org/Getinvolved/Quality">The Quality Team wikipage</a>.<br \

Plasma Workspaces 4.10" width="64" height="64" /> Plasma Workspaces 4.10 Improve \
Mobile Device Support and Receive Visual Refinement</a></h2> <p>
-The Team also set up a more rigorous testing process for releases starting with beta \
versions. New testing volunteers received training; and several testing intensive \
days were held. Rather than traditional exploratory testing, testers were assigned to \
focus on specific areas that had changed since previous releases. For several \
critical components, full testing checklists were developed and used. The team found \
many important issues early and worked with developers to make sure they were fixed. \
The Team itself reported over 160 bugs with the beta and RC releases, many of which \
have now been fixed. Other beta and RC users added considerably to the number of bugs \
reported. These efforts are important because they allow developers to concentrate on \
fixing issues. +Several components of Plasma Workspaces have been ported to Qt \
Quick/QML framework. Stability and usability have been improved. A new print manager \
and Color Management support have been introduced. </p>

-As a result of the efforts of the KDE Quality Team, the 4.10 Releases are the best \

-One particular bugfix deserves special attention. An Okular bug reported in 2007 had \
gotten nearly 1100 votes; it was important to many users. They complained about \
making annotations and not being able to save or print them. With the assistance of \
many commenters and people on the Okular IRC channel, Fabio D'Urso implemented a \
solution that allows Okular PDF document annotations to be saved and printed. The fix \
required some work on KDE libraries and attention to overall design to ensure that \
non-PDF documents worked right. This was Fabio's first KDE dev experience, which came \
about when he encountered the problem and decided to do something about it. +This \
release makes it easier to contribute to KDE with a Plasma SDK (Software Development \
Kit), the ability to write Plasma widgets and widget collections in the Qt Markup \
Language (QML), changes in the libKDEGames library, and new scripting capabilities in \
window manager KWin. </p>

<h2>Spread the Word and See What's Happening: Tag as "KDE"</h2>
<p>
KDE encourages people to spread the word on the Social Web. Submit stories to news \
sites, use channels like delicious, digg, reddit, twitter, identi.ca. Upload \
screenshots to services like Facebook, Flickr, ipernity and Picasa, and post them to \
appropriate groups. Create screencasts and upload them to YouTube, Blip.tv, and \
Vimeo. Please tag posts and uploaded materials with "KDE". This makes them easy to \
find, and gives the KDE Promo Team a way to analyze coverage for the 4.10 releases of \
KDE software.
