This is the first of a new series of articles that keeps you informed of what’s happening in KDE development. The hottest new features to hit SVN every month will be tested and sneak preview screenshots posted. Current issues are available from June and July.
Thanks for the link as well as the target. Konqueror now supports Google maps. Great. I was hoping it would. Until now I’ve been bringing up Firefox for that. Maybe Konqueror can now get on Google’s page of supported browsers. Google maps are great and hopefully will include more of the world in time.
Nice articles
Would be nice if they would be posted on osnews every month, it’s always very interesting to see what the kde dev’s are up to.
Nice read, although a bit much infomercial-like
And 2000 dollar for a calendar syncing app? I wish I could program, dayamn.

In regard to the development team over at KDE, they are doing a very nice job. Even though I choose not to use KDE anymore, or haven’t recently at least, they still seem to produce many interesting things at a very consistant rate, at least from how those articles look. How about KDE4 though. Anyone have any ideas on a feature set for that release? It may be neat to take a look at.

Features are to be defined. For now, the only effort is to have kde compile with Qt4; kdelibs and kdebase are already working.
Apart from that, Plasma (http://plasma.bddf.ca) seems very interesting.

A control in Konqueror that enables you to disable ipv6 support if you don need it.Seems if you don’t use ipv6 that konqueror is very slow unless you have disabled ipv6 altogether.

That problem is a sign that you have broken ipv6 support in your *DNS server*. Disabling ipv6 support in KDE is just a workaround for that. So what people should really do is fix the DNS servers.

I almost peed myself.
isn’t it amazing what these KDE guys can do WITHOUT all the money that is thrown (away?) in gnome (http://www.gnome.org/bounties/)??? i was astonished to see not just hundreds but thousands of dollars in bounties for quite obvious things… is Gnome really just driven by money? would it go away if the big sugardaddy company’s stop spending? who’s running gnome? Novell? this is no community project anymore…
i guesstimate if KDE got half as much money as gnome did over the years, gnome wouldn’t even exist anymore – KDE would be far superior…
yes i agree with you gnome developers are only interested to develop a crappy framework in c…

yeah yeah mod it down, flame KDE, not gnome. guess this does prove i’m right, isnt it? KDE doesn’t get all this money (maybe that’s good, as it also means the DEVELOPERS say what happens, not some big company) but gnome does – still KDE has the biggest share of the userspie… and once gnome was easier to use, but this (only) advantage is quickly dimmishing. And now QT is even more free than GTK (GPL versus LESSER GPL) there is no reason for gnome to exist anymore (as it was just created because Qt wasn’t free enough – altough some say it is TOO FREE now?!?!?)
I must say I am impressed with all the work the KDE developers put into their product. The link above that someone used for plasma looks very cool as well.
Nice work KDE folks.
yeah, if aaron touches something…
Keep up the good work.Thanks!
yeah, i suggested one syntax change, happy to see such big improvements coming to hally logo kturtle ๐
i mean, now i can explain kids and even my mom how computers /think/
gonna love the turtle ๐
slackware (PAT) was very right about dropping the difficult-to-package difficult-to-compile mess of code that is called gnome. of course, gnome has it’s strong points, granted. i sometimes like to use it. but kde just looks more fresh, more modern, maybe it is only the feel but i really like kde.
I open a news about GNOME and half of the comments are KDE fanboys bashing GNOME and OSNews because they don’t give enough space to KDE news…
Then I open a news about KDE and what I find? Yeah, KDE fanboys bashing GNOME…
It’s ridiculous!
As is KDE good for the future of Linux so is the following link to a e-mail in which a SCO represetative say they knew befor they began their lawsuit it was defenitely unfounded..

What if you did something similar to pod-casting but with the SVN. Have some program monitor an RSS/CIA feed and do a checkout when a major feature is committed and then automatically built.
SVN (or CVS) commits aren’t “a whole feature at once”, most of the time there is an initial commit and then many other minor commits who fix problems. there’s no way to automatically build when a new features is working
