KDE 3.4 is Out
==============

   KDE 3.4 has been released today. "After more than a half year of
development the KDE Project is happy to be able to announce a new major
release of the award-winning K Desktop Environment. Among the many new
features that have been incorporated, the improvements in accessibility
are most remarkable."  Read the full announcement
[http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.4.php] for an overview of
the many changes.  You can download source and binary packages from
download.kde.org [http://download.kde.org/download.php?url=stable/3.4/]
or use the Konstruct [http://developer.kde.org/build/konstruct/]
automatic build tool.

     Lars Stetten from the accessibility user group Linaccess
[http://www.linaccess.org/] said about the release: "The new
accessibility features in KDE 3.4 are an important step for the future,
to enable disabled people to get to know the KDE desktop and to join its
community."

     As well as the new accessiblity features major improvements have
been made to KPDF, groupware server support for Kontact and Kopete, HAL
support for detection of removable media and the inclusion of Akregator
RSS feed reader.  In total 6,500 bugs have been fixed and more than
1,700 wishlist items fulfilled.

     Many thanks to all of KDE's hard working developers, translators
and helpers.
