Tellico 1.0, a general collection manager for the K Desktop Environment, has been released.
KTranslator 0.3 has been released
Version 0.3.1 of Fraqtive, the Mandelbrot and Julia fractal generator for KDE, has been released
Version 1.3.1 of the amaroK audio player has been released
After a good summer of coding KTorrent is nearing a 1.1 release, so we have decided to release a 1.1rc1 version, so we can get a lot more people using ktorrent's newest features, which hopefully doesn't result in to many bug reports.
The main new features in this release are :
- More search engines.
- More information about a torrent is now shown at the bottom of the window.
- Video and audio files can now be previewed.
- Selecting which files to download of multifile torrents is now possible.
- Download speed capping (still jumpy and will be tweaked before the
final 1.1 release).
- Many bug fixes.
Code and binary packages can be found at http://ktorrent.pwsp.net/

Release of Boson 0.11, a Real Time Strategy (RTS) game for the K Desktop Environment.
For this release, the primary focus has been to finally get the release out ;-). For nearly the whole time since the last release in early 2004 both main Boson developers have been too busy with various non-Boson things to concentrate for long enough on an actual release. However during that time period new features got constantly added, so the list of changes is very long for this version.
Probably the most visible change is the port to libufo. libufo (http://libufo.sf.net) is a widget toolkit for OpenGL, that enables Boson to draw buttons, labels and other widgets directly into the OpenGL scene, instead of using a separated area. An installation of libufo is not necessary, as Boson provides its own copy of this library. Note that we still use both, KDE and Qt and will continue to do so. KDE and Qt are used in Boson for a lot of things, not only the GUI.

Basically, this is a tool to let you type an expression (including trig, exponential, or logarithmic) functions and get an answer, including a history pane, support for Radians and Degrees, and a very compact mode. Note on the recent RPN mode addition: abakus as of now doesn't have an persistent RPN mode value stack, so every expression you enter at this time has to result in exactly one value on the operand stack (e.g You can't do '2+' after entering an expression, you need 'ans 2 +').
The "KDE Disk archiver" (KDar) is a disk-based archiving and backup utility. It is built around the "disk archive library" by Denis Corbin, and is analogous to the tape archiver shell command "tar", but is more suited for backups onto disk-based media, such as CD-R, DVD, Jazz, Zip, other hard-drives, etc.
KDar can perform full and differential backups with or without compression. Archives can be split to fit various media types.
A filtering mechanism allows you to select which files and directories to backup or restore, and which files to compress.

Kat is a framework designed to allow KDE applications to index and retrieve files. Metadata, fulltext and thumbnails are extracted from documents, images, mp3 and other media allowing quick and accurate information retrieval. Kat is similar to the Windows applications WhereIsIt and Google Desktop Search, the Gnome program Beagle and the OS X utility Spotlight. It is completely written in C++, using Qt3, KDE and KIO libraries. The application is based on the extensible kfile plugin architecture of KDE in order to facilitate the creation of new media managers for emerging file formats. Kat is the first KDE application using the new fulltext kfile plugins. Information retrieval relies on the powerful SQLite3 embedded database engine.
MateEdit is a multi-user editor which allows concurrent editing of files. It currently features change highlighting, different text colours for each user and a communication window. MateEdit can be used for idea exchanges, programming, role playing and any other task where people share their thoughts and collaborate.
Changelog:
- Added undo
- Merge zeroconf and non-zeroconf branch
- Better integration of zeroconf and non-zeroconf clients
- Use real username for user details
