KDE SC 4.4 Release Candidate 1 packages available

Submitted on Sat, 2010-01-09

Packages for the first release candidate of the KDE Software Compilation 4.4 are available.

Users of the Lucid development release are advised not to upgrade yet, as the packages are only half-built due to a breakage of the underlying graphics stack. The Ubuntu Xorg team is working fervently to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Users of our stable 9.10 release can install it from the Kubuntu Beta PPA.

There are security fixes included in karmic-backports that were not in the PPA packages. The Backports repository is not enabled by default, so you may need to enable it in KPackageKit.

KOffice 2.1 Available

Submitted on Tue, 2009-11-24

KOffice 2.1 has been released. This release is a marked improvement of almost all parts of KOffice compared to 2.0. Version 2.0 was labeled a “platform release”, which was meant as a first preview of the framework and new UI paradigm. In version 2.1, most applications and components have improved significantly but should still only be used by early adopters and probably not as the primary worktool.

Users of our latest development release, Lucid, can upgrade to the latest packages.
