KDE has released a new version of the KDE Software Compilation (KDE SC). This month’s edition of KDE SC is a bugfix and translation update to KDE SC 4.3. KDE SC 4.3.4 is a recommended upgrade for everyone running KDE 4.3.3 or earlier versions. As the release only contains bugfixes and translation updates, it will be a safe and pleasant update for everyone. Users around the world will appreciate that KDE SC 4.3.4 is more completely translated. KDE 4 is already translated into more than 50 languages, with more to come.

KDE SC 4.3.4 has a number of improvements:

• A bugfix in Plasma’s pixmap cache makes the workspace more responsive
• Okular, the document viewer improved stability in certain situations
• Marble, the desktop globe has seen some polish
• Passphrases with non-ASCII characters have been fixed in the KGpg encryption too

KDE 4.3.4 is currently shipping to the PCLinuxOS servers.

The KOffice team is very happy to announce version 2.1.0 of KOffice, 6 months after the platform release 2.0.0. This release brings a number of new features as well as general improvements in the maturity of the individual applications. Importing of documents have also been given an overhaul.

This release is a marked improvement of almost all parts of KOffice compared to 2.0. Version 2.0 was labeled a “platform release”, which was meant as a first preview of the framework and new UI paradigm. In version 2.1, most applications and components have improved significantly but should still only be used by early adopters and probably not as the primary worktool.  Koffice 2.1.0 is currently available on our premium server and shipping to the public servers shortly

Opera’s latest Web browser introduces a new technology platform, Opera Unite, allowing you to stream music or share files, photos and more, right from the browser. Learn more about their  latest browser innovations.

Opera 10.10  QT3 and Opera 10.10 QT4 versions are now available on our premium server and shipping to the public servers shortly.
