KDE 1452 Published by

KDE 4.8.1 has been released. Here the announcement:



March 7, 2011. Today KDE released updates for its Workspaces, Applications,
and Development Platform. These updates are the first in a series of monthly
stabilization updates to the 4.8 series. 4.8.1 updates bring many bugfixes and
translation updates on top of the latest edition in the 4.8 series and are
recommended updates for everyone running 4.8.0 or earlier versions. As the
release only contains bugfixes and translation updates, it will be a safe and
pleasant update for everyone. KDE’s software is already translated into more
than 55 languages, with more to come. The December updates contain many
performance improvements and bugfixes for applications using the Nepomuk
semantic framework.

To download source code or packages to install go to the 4.8.1 Info Page. The
changelog lists more, but not all improvements since 4.8.0. Note that these
changelogs are incomplete. For a complete list of changes that went into
4.8.1, you can browse the Subversion and Git logs. 4.8.1 also ships a more
complete set of translations for many of the 55+ supported languages. To find
out more about the KDE Workspace and Applications 4.8, please refer to the 4.7
release notes and its earlier versions.
