I don't know of any stability problems. In fact most crashes that are
reported
these days are because of broken binary installations - old libpngs,
wrong OpenGL
drivers, etc.
There number of features that have been added can be counted on one hand
and all
of them were about fixing _greatly_ missing functionality.
And about the newly added strings: I for one added about 30 or so - all
of them
were untranslatable before and I were bugged quite often to fix this. So
I did.
This kspread thing was the only problem that I've seen going totally
wrong. I
tried to stop it, but the kspread author said it's definitly needed and
wouldn't
add any new strings. I didn't know he meant that it would split up
every message
in two :(
But I definitly suggest you keep fixing kdebase instead of translating
this new
kspread messages.
Greetings, Stephan
