KDE 3.4.1 Released

The KDE Project has released KDE 3.4.1. They’re calling it a ‘maintenance’ release because it’s mostly bugfixes and small alterations. Despite this, the release has some much needed changes. One of the bugs that it solves has been slowing down my work all week.

The KDE Project emphasized fixes in its 50 translations in the official release, but they also listed a page full of bugfixes at their changelog.

Some of the excellent ones:

• ftp will try active if passive fails
  (I’ve been having to use the terminal ftp client alongside Quanta to upload to an IIS ftp server that only does active)
• many good fixes in khtml
  (khtml is to KDE what Gecko is to Mozilla - it’s their web page layout engine)
• a hundred other fixes

I’ll be installing it as soon as it appears on the Gentoo servers.
