KOffice 2.0 Beta 4 Released
===========================

   Moving towards the 2.0 release with monthly increments of
improvement-goodness, the KOffice team has once more honoured its
promise to bring out beta releases of KOffice until the time is right
for a release-candidate release. So, before the news of the previous
beta [http://dot.kde.org/1227137279/] has had a chance to scroll off the
Dot news page, we bring you this beta with many, many improvements
across the board. Incremental as it is, we think it is a genuine and
important step towards a final release. So here it is: full announcement
[http://www.koffice.org/announcements/announce-2.0beta4.php] and
changelog
[http://www.koffice.org/announcements/changelog-2.0-beta4.php].

     Some highlights in the release announcements: loading of text
styles in presentations saved by OpenOffice.org is fixed, inserting an
image in a document becomes possible again and the first set of results
from the Berlin meeting [http://dot.kde.org/1226409524/] become
integrated into KOffice. And, of course, plenty of bugfixes all over!
And the translation teams have been really busy, and many bugs in the
localisation support have been caught.
     It's now possible to paint on mask in Krita:

     It is really, really time to start helping the developers, by
testing and finding bugs, by writing documentation, by helping out with
the website or even by helping to get KOffice release ready by writing
code and fixing bugs. We intend to release the very first version of
KOffice2 in a few months: so let's pull together and make this a great
platform for productivity software!
     And... Next month you'll get another one!
