“KDE has released a release candidate of the upcoming 4.7
release of the Plasma Desktop and Netbook workspaces, the KDE
Applications and the KDE Frameworks, which is planned for July 27,
2011. With API, dependency and feature freezes in place, the KDE
team’s focus is now on fixing last-minute showstopper bugs and
finishing translation and documentation that comes along with the
releases.“The 4.7 release will bring a number of exciting
improvements:
- KWin, Plasma’s window manager now supports OpenGL-ES 2.0,
improving performance and deployability on mobile devices- Dolphin, KDE’s flexible file manager has seen user interface
improvements and now sports a better user experience for searching
in files’ metadata.- KDM, KDE’s login manager now interfaces with the Grub2
bootloader- Marble, the virtual globe now supports offline address search,
especially making its mobile version more useful on the road
