Agreed, the new Javascript is a great improvement, and I can actually use it
on a day-to-day basis rather than the somewhat bloated Mozilla. My webmail
account at my domain host previously didn't work in Konq 2.2, but it works
great now. :)
I'm not sure that in general there are really enough improvements to actually
be worthy of a change in major release number (from 2.x to 3.x) because it
feels more like a 2.3 release than a 3.0. The KDE 2.2 debs (Woody anyway)
were just as fast in my experience. Unless there is anything you desperately
need in KDE 3, I wouldn't rush madly to upgrade until the debs are made.
Just my opinion anyway. :)
