March 5, 2008 (The INTERNET). The KDE Community today
announced the immediate
availability of KDE 4.0.2, the second bugfix and maintenance
release for the
latest generation of the most advanced and powerful free
desktop. KDE 4.0.2
ships with a basic desktop and many other packages like
administration,
network, education, utilities, multimedia, games, artwork,
web development
and more. KDE's award-winning tools and applications are
available in almost
49 languages.
KDE, including all its libraries and its applications, is
available for free
under Open Source licenses. KDE can be obtained in source
and various binary
formats from http://download.kde.org
and can also be obtained on CD-ROM or
with any of the major GNU/Linux and UNIX systems shipping
today.
Enhancements
KDE 4.0.2 is a maintenance release which provides
corrections of problems
reported using the KDE bug tracking system and enhanced
support for existing
and new translations. For KDE 4.0.2, the Documentation and
Translation teams
have made an exception to the usual policy of not changing
user-visible
strings, so the Plasma developers could introduce some new
features for this
KDE version.
Improvements in this release include, but are not limited
to:
* New features in Plasma. The size and position of the panel
can now be
configured, the visibility of a number of option is now
improved to makes it
easier for new users to discover how Plasma works and what
it provides.
* Farsi and Icelandic version of KDE 4.0.2 further improve
localisation, other
translations have been improved further. KDE 4.0.2 is
available in 49
languages.
* Repainting issues have been addressed in the KHTML
webbrowser engine. KHTML
now also supports more websites by accepting more
non-HTML4-compliant
documents.
Several stability issues have been fixed in Kopete, KDE's
instant messenger
and Okular, the document reader.
For a more detailed list of improvements since the KDE 4.0.1
release last
month, please refer to the KDE 4.0.2 Changelog.
Additional information about the enhancements of the KDE
4.0.x release series
is available in the KDE 4.0 announcement and in the KDE
4.0.1 announcement.
