+  KDE Software Compilation 4.5.4 for Windows available

+  <p>The KDE on Windows team is overly pleased to announce the release of Windows packages for the KDE Software Compilation 4.5.4. This release is doubly important because it marks the return to the headlines of the KDE Windows Initiative after a lot of hard background work and because it brings the KDE SC 4.5 series to the Windows users.</p>
+  <p>Although still not considered stable and suitable for production work, this release brings to the table a lot of new improvements worth trying:
+    <ul>
+      <li> all the <a href="http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.5/">goodness brought by KDE SC 4.5</a>;
+      <li> all the <a href="http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-4.5.4.php">bugfixes brought by the 4.5.4 minor release</a> and six months of work from the KDE Windows team;
+      <li> the <a href="http://apachelog.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/phonon-vlc-0-3-rock-solid/">lastest version of Phonon-VLC backend</a> is available as the default backend;
+      <li> support for two new compilers: mingw-w32, a more updated distribution of Gcc for Windows provided by the <a href="http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net">mingw-w64 project</a>, and vc100, the Microsoft compiler provided in <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/express/Windows/">Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition</a>. These, in the future, will respectively replace mingw4 and vc90 (both of which are however supported in this release).
+    </ul>
+   <p>
+   <p>Aside from the software improvements mentioned above, the Windows team has worked under the hood to lower the barrier of <a href="http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-windows/2010-November/005254.html">contribution to development</a> and <a href="http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-windows&m=128812965819938&w=2">community participation</a>. This release itself is the result of a <a href="http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-windows/2010-December/005385.html">common release effort</a> to fix the remaining compiling issues. The KDE on Windows team is quite proud of this common release effort and hopes to repeat it in the near future when KDE 4.6 is released. We hope you'll "join the (KDE on Windows) game" too!</p>
+   <p>Users can test this release by using the <a href="http://windows.kde.org/download.php">KDEWin Installer</a> to try out all the software available. Included in this release are kdebase (both the applications and the workspace), kdeedu, kdegames, kdegraphics, kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, kdesdk, kdetoys, kdeutils, and several stuff from extragear like amarok, digikam and kipi-plugins, kmymoney, konversation, kmid, kile and quassel. Be aware that these could kill your kitten(s), but chances are that you might find yourself quite comfortable in using some of these applications.</p>
