KDE 4.9 is the first version available after the integration of the KDE Quality team, which hopes to improve the appearance y operation of the software in general. |
Regarding the improvements, the Dolphin file manager stands out, which now displays file metadata. Also noteworthy is the MPRIS2 media player API, which allows the control of other players and displays data about the media files being played. Finally we have Okular, who can now save and print the notes in PDF files.
Dolphin recovers file renaming in the same window, improves the left panel and incorporates integration with the Mercurial version control system. Konsole allows you to drag and drop folders to the terminal window to change directories, and it improves the management of different terminal emulators through tabs.
KWin has received many improvements but most of them have been aimed at improving the performance and reliability of the window manager. It is also possible to link files and folders to specific Activities. Juk and Dragon Player are controllable via MPRIS2. Kontact now allows you to import data from Thunderbird and Evolution into your tools, and there is better integration with Google services (especially for contacts and calendar).
In terms of the platform, what has been done, broadly speaking, is to pave the way for what they call "Frameworks 5", in addition to improving the stability and performance of current components (eg Nepomuk or Soprano) .

What distro with KDE do you recommend ????
Interesting, I'm going to put it on my laptop right now, thanks for the info.
It's strange since the last week of last month it was available in the testing repositories and available in stable the first of this month: S
In Arch it is also available in official repos, you only need one:
sudo pacman -Syu and go
try Linux Mint 13 maya, it is an excellent distro and better with kde 4.9
opensuse if you want something very stable, or fedora spins if you want to have the latest version in a stable way although with some minor bugs.
Be serious, please.
You asked about distros, not cow KK.
Arch + KDE
Stable. In case of being RC, it is always clarified so as not to generate confusion. Hug! Paul.
There is an error in the news: Okular can save and print PDF documents from the beginning. What has now been added is the ability to PRINT THE NOTES that the user adds to a PDF document.
I have it on a Pentium D, with 2gb of RAM, an ATI from centuries ago, the free driver, Apache launched with a friendica instance and it works fine ...
For several days it has been available in the Stable repos of Chakra, a 100% KDE distro, another thing is that no matter how much pacman -Syu I do, it does not update me, I have not found the cause yet….
Show the error, because it is not the first time it happens
you should do "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" as there are packages hanging.
Stable or RC?
Stable
As soon as I buy an i7 I install it.
I was thinking: how do I install it, surely the laptop will commit suicide or have a stroke, it hurts ...
Thank you! Corrected…
