KDE 4.1 Alpha 1 Is Out
======================

   The KDE Community is happy to announce
[http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.1-alpha1.php] the first
preview for the upcoming KDE 4.1, due in late July. KDE 4.1 is based on
Qt 4.4's goodness, bringing performance improvements, WebKit,
widgets-on-canvas and other goodies. Also new is Dragon Player, a KDE 4
port of the codeine video player which is famous for its simplicity and
ease of use. KDE 4.1 Alpha 1 ships with Akonadi, the new data storage
framework for our beloved PIM applications. KDE-PIM will also see its
first KDE 4 release with 4.1, but is not yet based on Akonadi. More
planned and already implemented features can be found in the KDE 4.1
Feature Plan
[http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Schedules/KDE4/4.1_Feature_Plan].
 The Plasma desktop shell has just undergone major surgery, so expect
some additional breakage there.
