KDE 4.1.0 released

The developers behind the KDE project have now released the latest version KDE 4.1.0.

This is the second major release in the KDE 4 series. The latest version comes loaded with new applications and newly developed features.

It is also the first of the KDE 4 releases to come with Personal Information Management suite KDE-PIM with its E-Mail client KMail, the planner KOrganizer, Akregator, the RSS feed reader, KNode, the newsgroup reader and many more components integrated into the Kontact shell.

The developers added in the release notes:

The new desktop shell Plasma, introduced in KDE 4.0, has matured to the point where it can replace the KDE 3 shell for most casual users.

Dirk Müller, one of KDE’s release managers added: “There have been 20803 commits made from KDE 4.0 to KDE 4.1 along with 15432 translation checkins. Almost 35000 commits have been done in work branches, some of them also being merged into KDE 4.1, so those were not even counted.”
