While KDE 4.2 is out for some days now, we still lack a feedback (or more precise an impressions) thread. I'd like to list some points, to a) encourage other people to switch/not to switch b) ask for help c) rant/share enjoyment 2) More options available in many corners, some speak of feature parity with KDE 3.5, plasmoids on screensaver, message grouping in kmail 3) Some under the hood changes (akonadi...), which show that things get done, no major impact until now? though. 4) regressions like MSN settings lost, plasma crashes playing with new options 5) some KDE 4.0 and 4.1 bugs fixed, some bugs I was hoping somebody else would report still not fixed 6) new plasmoids, /me missing a TODO and _nice_ weather plugin, rssnow is cute but IMHO not functional 7) open/save dialogue still unusable, doesn't save settings and needs 10sec to load up (I guess due to nepomuk, running here on a Thinkpad R50e). |
