http://blog.itpub.net/post/8/120

KDE.org 在本月19日发布KDE 的3.3 版本.

看看这个版本都有什么新功能与改进之处?

• New applications
  • Kolourpaint, an easy-to-use replacement for KPaint
  • KWordQuiz, KLatin and KTurtle expand the list of education packages for schools and families
  • Kimagemapeditor and klinkstatus make life easier for web designers
  • KSpell2, a new spellchecking library that fixes all of KSpell's shortcomings
  • KThemeManager, a new control center module to globally handle KDE visual themes
  • The Python bindings PyQT and PyKDE are now maintained with KDE in our CVS
  • //新的应用程序似乎不是很吸引人,就我这个普通的用户来说而言,这几个新
    东西几乎都用不到,最后的PyQT对程序员似乎有一点便利之处.
• Integration of desktop components
  • Kontact is now integrated with Kolab, KDE's groupware solution, and Kpilot
  • Konqueror features better support for Instant Messenging contacts, with the capability to send files to IM contacts, and support for IM protocols (e.g. irc://)
  • KMail can display the online presence of IM contacts
  • Kopete can display a "now listening to" message from amaroK
  • Juk has support for burning audio CDs with K3B
  • Konqueror这一块还是短板--Browser功能和Mozilla还有很大的差距.不管
    你添加了多少华而不实的功能,浏览器本身的功能不能使用户用起来感到满
    意,别的都是空谈 对中文用户来说Konqueror对中文至迟还不够好,用起来
    很别扭,Mozilla好很多,当然,Mozilla 和Opera还有差距--就象Opera和IE始
    终在Windows平台有差距一样
    
• Many small desktop enhancements
  • Tab improvements in Konqueror, including scrollwheel switching
  • An RSS feed viewer sidebar in Konqueror //这个成为一个独立的软件似乎也不错
  • A searchbar for Konqueror, compatible with all keyword: searches
  • HTML composing, anti-spam/anti-virus wizards, automatic handling of mailing lists, improved support for cryptography and a handy quick search bar all make their way into KMail
  • Kopete gains support for file transfers with Jabber
  • Quanta Plus has a VPL (Visual Page Layout) mode to make editing even easier
  • aRts gains jack support, and aKode, a new multithreaded audio decoding/encoding library to replace mpeglib
  • KWin has new buttons to support its full features, including "always on top"
  • Over 7,000 bugs have been closed, and over 2,000 wishes have been fulfilled
  • Over 60,000 lines of code, documentation and other contributions have been committed to CVS
  • 我对这些倒是比较看重的－－这是更容易贴近用户的地方. 现在KDE处理邮
    件列表/垃圾邮件的功能已经大大加强了.
    说句题外话,似乎很少看到中文用户提交的Bug :)
    
    还有一点,KDE 3.3 还不够稳定!
