08/23/2004 The KDE Project is pleased to announce the
immediate availability of KDE 3.3, the fourth major release of the
award-winning KDE3 desktop platform. Over the past six months, hundreds of
applications and desktop components have been enhanced by a community of
developers, with a particular focus on integration of components.
Stephan Kulow, KDE Release Coordinator, said: "The desktop reached a quality
hard to top in previous releases. Nevertheless, KDE 3.3 is a great
improvement and will further strengthen KDE's position as the leading Free
desktop environment."
Building upon previous releases, noticeable improvements in usability,
stability and integration have been achieved, enhancing the desktop
experience. A range of new applications and features have also been
implemented, including Kolourpaint, an easy-to-use paint program. Over 7,000
bugs have been fixed, and 2,000 wishes fulfilled, with over 60,000 lines of
code and documentation being written in the past six months. KDE is now
available in 89 different languages, with recent additions including Farsi
(Iran) and Indic character support.
