Dear KDE Enthusiasts,

Due to the absolutely excellent work of all the developers I had
the pleasure to make the KDE-1.1pre2 packages aka KDE-1.1 beta
finally available on master.kde.org.

In case we will not discover very serious problems with these
packages they will become the final KDE-1.1 very shortly.

The source is available on


ftp://master.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/1.1pre2/distribution/tar/generic/source/

The packages should appear very soon on our official ftp
server


ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/1.1pre2/distribution/tar/generic/source/

During the next days there will also be offered rpm, deb and tgz
binary packages.

Please address all reports about problems to our new bug
tracking system.

http://bugs.kde.org

KDE-1.1 will prove to be a big step towards a better working
experience for several millions of people. (Current estimates are
about 5-6 Million KDE users)

Finally KDE-1.1 will not be the end but the beginning of an even
more exciting experience. KOM/Openparts technology will be a big
challenge for KDE-2.0.

Thanks,
— martin
