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.
