KDE 3.5.7 Released
===================
The KDE Project today announced the immediate availability
of KDE 3.5.7, a
maintenance release for the latest generation of the most
advanced and
powerful free desktop for GNU/Linux and other UNIXes. KDE
now supports 65
languages, making it available to more people than most
non-free software and
can be easily extended to support others by communities who
wish to
contribute to the open source project.
This release has a renewed focus on KDE PIM applications.
KAddressBook,
KOrganizer and KAlarm received attention with bugfixes,
while KMail
additionally witnessed new features and improvements with
both interface work
and IMAP handling: it can manage IMAP quota and copy and
move all folders.

Several other applications saw feature improvements:
* KPDF shows tooltips for links when hovering on them,
displays correctly more
complex PDF files like this Firefox advertisement and
reacts to the commands
for opening the Table of Contents pane. [ http://kpdf.kde.org/ ]
* Umbrello now can generate and export C# Code and has added
Java 5 generics
support. [ http://uml.sourceforge.ne
t/ ]
* KDevelop got a major version upgrade to version 3.4.1. New
features include
much improved Code Completion and Navigation, a more
reliable debugger
interface, Qt4 support and better Ruby and KDE4
development support.

In addition to the new features there were many bug fixes
across the board,
especially in the Edutainment and Games packages and Kopete.
Besides bugfixes
Kopete also got a major performance improvement on chat
rendering.
As KDE users have come to expect, this new release includes
continued work on
KHTML and KJS, KDE's HTML and Javascript engines. A new and
interesting
usability feature in KHTML makes the mouse pointer indicate
if a link wants
to open a new browser window or not.
