KDE Project Releases KDE 3.3
============================

   The KDE Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
KDE 3.3 [http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.3.php], the fourth
major release of the award-winning KDE3 desktop platform. Over the past
six months, hundreds of applications and desktop components have been
enhanced
[http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog3_2_3to3_3.php] by
a community of developers, with a particular focus on integration of
components.

     Stephan Kulow, KDE Release Coordinator, said: "The desktop reached
a quality hard to top in previous releases. Nevertheless, KDE 3.3 is a
great improvement and will further strengthen KDE's position as the
leading Free desktop environment."

     Building upon previous releases, noticeable improvements in
usability, stability and integration have been achieved, enhancing the
desktop experience. A range of new applications and features have also
been implemented, including Kolourpaint, an easy-to-use paint program.
Over 7,000 bugs have been fixed, and 2,000 wishes fulfilled, with over
60,000 lines of code and documentation being written in the past six
months. KDE is now available [http://www.kde.org/info/3.3.php] in 89
different languages, with recent additions including Farsi (Iran) and
Indic character support.
