| KDE releases maintenance update |
Feb. 01, 2007
 The KDE Project this week released version 3.5.6, a maintenance update to the popular free desktop for Linux and UNIX. KDE now supports 65 languages, making it available to more people than most non-free software.
This release includes a number of bugfixes for the KHTML engine, Kate, the kicker, ksysguard, and a number of other applications, a team spokesperson said.
Significant features include additional support for compiz as a window manager with kicker, session management browser tabs for Akregator, templating for KMail messages, and new summary menus for Kontact that make it easier to work with appointments and to-do's.
KDE 3.5.6 ships with a basic desktop and 15 other packages (PIM, administration, network, edutainment, utilities, multimedia, games, artwork, web development and more). The KDE Linux application platform is a stable, mature desktop that includes a state-of-the-art browser (Konqueror), a personal information management suite (Kontact), a full office suite (KOffice), a large set of networking application and utilities, and an efficient, intuitive development environment featuring the KDevelop IDE (integrated development environment).
Most Linux distributions and UNIX operating systems do not immediately incorporate new KDE releases, but they will integrate KDE 3.5.6 packages in their next releases. You can check here to see which distributions are shipping KDE.
