KDE on KDE 4.0 (Groklaw)KDE on KDE 4.0 (Groklaw)Posted Jul 12, 2008 18:50 UTC (Sat) by mgb (guest, #3226)Parent article: KDE on KDE 4.0 (Groklaw) Those who rewrite history ignore the lessons to be learned. The OFFICIAL KDE 4.0 RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT says nothing about being pre-beta libraries for developers only. Quite the opposite in fact: "you name it, KDE 4.0 has it." There's no mention of broken desktops, dumbed-down file managers, and missing applications. KDE should just bite the bullet, admit they borked this release big time, and move on.

KDE on KDE 4.0 (Groklaw) Posted Jul 12, 2008 19:08 UTC (Sat) by Janne (guest, #40891) [Link] "There's no mention of broken desktops" Was the desktop really "broken"? "dumbed-down file managers" Some would say that that isn't really a regression. I mean, if they still get the job done. "and missing applications." What applications are missing? I think Kontact is the only app that didn't have KDE4-version ready. And in any case, the KDE3-versions worked fine, so you still had access to all the apps you wanted. If you are thinking about stuff like Koffice, Amarok etc, then keep in mind that those apps do not ship as part of KDE-desktop, they have independent release-schedules.

KDE on KDE 4.0 (Groklaw) Posted Jul 13, 2008 18:36 UTC (Sun) by Janne (guest, #40891) [Link] By and large, the desktop did what it was supposed to do. And what's interesting, you completely ignored my other coments, so I guess you are admitting that you were wrong there.
