KDE 4.1 Alpha 1 in the News
===========================

   Ryan Paul over at Ars Technica is at it again, this time with an
early review
[http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080430-first-look-kde-4-1-alpha-1-very-promising.html]
of KDE 4.1 Alpha 1
[http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.1-alpha1.php].  He writes,
"This alpha release marks the start of the 4.1 feature freeze, so
virtually all of the remaining developer effort between now and the
official 4.1 release in July will focus on bug-fixing, polish, and
stability."  Features that are listed as planned for 4.1
[http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Schedules/KDE4/4.1_Feature_Plan]
can still be implemented for 4.1.  Next, our friends at Polish Linux are
at it once again, bringing us a visual review of KDE 4.1
[http://polishlinux.org/kde/kde-4-rev-802150-work-in-progress] of
revision 802150, which roughly corresponds to Alpha 1. Buried in the
article, I found this interesting bit of news: "Kwin features a new
visual effect known to most of you from Compiz: the Wobbly Windows."
