The Kubuntu team is proud to announce the release of Kubuntu 8.04.2, the
second and final maintenance update to Kubuntu's 8.04 release. This release
includes updated desktop, and alternate installation CDs for the i386 and
amd64 architectures. This update is provided in recognition that the current
Kubuntu release (8.10) with its cutting edge KDE 4 desktop is not yet
appropriate for all users.
In all, over 200 updates have been integrated, and updated installation
media has been provided so that fewer updates will need to be downloaded
after installation. These include security updates, and corrections for
other high-impact bugs, with a focus on maintaining stability and
compatibility with Kubuntu 8.04.
KDE 4.1.4 has now moved to the Intrepid updates repository and is now recommended for all Intrepid users.
The intrepid-updates is enabled by default on Kubuntu Intrepid installs.
A big congratulations from the Kubuntu team to Debian on their release of lenny. And at the same time, a big thanks to the Debian KDE Team for their great work and collaboration.
"Every Debian developer is also an Ubuntu developer, because one way to contribute to Ubuntu is to contribute to Debian." — Mark Shuttleworth
