KDE 4.0.1 is There For You
==========================

   While the world is still recovering from the work on KDE 4.0.0, we
are ready to announce the release of KDE 4.0.1
[http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.0.1.php], the first bug fix
update of the KDE 4.0 desktop. KDE 4.0.1 contains numerous bugfixes such
as stability improvements, performance improvements and, as in every
point release, updated translations for most components. Lots of work
has been put into shared components making the life of most applications
easier. Particularly striking is also the high number of bugfixes in
KHTML. Have a look at the ChangeLog
[http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog4_0to4_0_1.php]
for a more detailed, if maybe not 100% complete list of improvements.
KDE 4.0.1 is already translated into 48 languages with more coming soon.

     The KDE 4.0 branch receives regular updates, including bugfixes in
trunk/ which are backported to the KDE 4.0 branch and more will appear
in our monthly bugfix updates. For those following the development more
closely, a shift towards the development tree that is to become KDE 4.1
this summer can be noticed. KDE 4.1 will be based on Qt 4.4 with all its
performance and functionality improvements. KDE 4.0.2, with even more of
the above goodness, will be released in early March. While KDE 4.0 is
still rather young, we hope to be able to address even more issues
people encounter while getting used to KDE 4, so make sure to keep your
KDE up to date.

     For those among us that prefer the more stable and proven KDE 3.5
branch, KDE 3.5.9 will be available later this month (planned for
February, 19th) with an updated KDE-PIM from the enterprise branch and
of course lots of other improvements.
