“By the standards of previous releases in the KDE 4
series, KDE 4.5 is tame. It has few new applications, and
introduces no new technologies. Yet with its combination of small
innovations and interface improvements, KDE 4.5 still manages to be
a release worth installing. Although it does not try to expand the
concept of the desktop, it does make KDE easier to use in dozens of
small and satisfying ways.“Released August 10, KDE 4.5 is already packaged for many major
distributions, including Fedora, Mandriva, openSUSE, and Ubuntu,
although in some cases you will have to look in the developmental
repositories rather than the main ones. Source code is also
available from the project. Those who want to try it before
installing can download the latest CD from openSUSE’s KDE Four Live
site.“Small innovations that add up
“You need to search carefully to find new applications in KDE
4.5. I may have missed some, but the only new ones I can find are a
Bookmark widget for the desktop and panel, and a new Mahjongg game
(the traditional Rummoli-like game for four, not the tile-matching
game made popular by computing).”
