KDE SC 4.4 Released
#1

And there we are, the KDE team has released KDE Software Compilation 4.4, formerly known as, well, KDE. Major new features include social networking and online collaboration integration, the new netbook interface, the KAuth authentication framework, and a lot more.

 

One of the major additions is the Plasma Netbook interface, which has been in development for a while now. "Plasma Netbook shares many components with the Plasma Desktop, but is specifically designed to make good use of the small space, and to be more suitable also for touchscreen input," the KDE team writes, "The Plasma Netbook shell features a full-screen application launcher and search interface, and a Newspaper which offers many widgets to display content from the web and small utilities already known from Plasma Netbook's sibling."

 

A lot of work has also been done to integrate social networks and other online services into Plasma, making it easier to manage those via Plasma widgets; there's a widget for posting to various social networks, as well as a widget for following what your friends are doing.
