The KDE Project today announced the immediate availability of
KDE 3.0.4, the third generation of KDE’s free, powerful desktop for
Linux and other UNIXes. KDE 3.0.4 is available in 51 languages –
including the addition of Basque for the first time in KDE 3 – and
ships with the core KDE libraries, the base desktop environment,
and hundreds of applications and other desktop enhancements from
the other KDE base packages (PIM, administration, network,
edutainment, development, utilities, multimedia, games, artwork,
and others).

KDE 3.0.4 provides various service enhancements over KDE 3.0.3,
which shipped in mid-August 2002, as well as two security
corrections (the personal web server (KPF) may permit a remote user
to retrieve any file readable by the local KPF user, and the
PostScript® / PDF viewer (KGhostview) may execute arbitrary
code placed in a PS or PDF file). For a list of some changes since
KDE 3.0.3, please see the change log, and for additional
information about the security corrections please see the separate
security advisories.

For more information about the KDE 3 series, please read the
full announcement linked below.
