Kalzium 3.5 Preview 1 has been released:
The Kalzium-developers decided it is time for a preview of the good things to come in the next version of Kalzium. This release previews the standalone version planned for July 11 2005. It is almost finished feature wise but does not include translations and documentation as they are too much of an moving target. You can help make a better Kalzium if you test this version and give us feedback using bugs.kde.org or the usual channels. Kalzium is an interactive application which shows you information about the periodic table of the elements. Kalzium can be used as an as an information database. Kalzium has already some nice features, however but there remains things to add. As Kalzium has been included in KDE 3.1+, we still work steadily to add in some new enhancements, while hopefully making it as fast and usefull as possible. You can help us by testing it or make proposals for new features
or a better design. This version of Kalzium requires KDE 3.3 or greater.
