The KDE Project today announced the immediate availability
of KDE 3.5.8, 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.
While the developers' main focus lies on finishing KDE 4.0,
the stable 3.5
series remains the desktop of choice for the time being. It
is proven, stable
and well supported. The 3.5.8 release with its literally
hundreds of bugfixes
has again improved the users' experience. The main focus of
improvements for
KDE 3.5.8 is
* Improvements in Konqueror and its web browsing component
KHTML. Bugs in
handling HTTP connections have been fixed, KHTML has
improved support of
some CSS features for more standards compliance.
* In the kdegraphics package, lots of fixes in KDE's PDF
viewer and
Kolourpaint, a painting application, went into this
release.
* The KDE PIM suite has, as usual, seen numerous stability
fixes, covering
KDE's email client KMail, the organizer application
KOrganizer and various
other bits and pieces.
For a more detailed list of improvements since the KDE 3.5.7
release on the
22nd May 2007, please refer to the KDE 3.5.8 Changelog. [

KDE 3.5.8 ships with a basic desktop and fifteen other
packages (PIM,
administration, network, edutainment, utilities, multimedia,
games, artwork,
web development and more). KDE's award-winning tools and
applications are
available in 65 languages.
