Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by KevinKofler: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Desktop?action=diff&rev2=112&rev1=111 The comment on the change is: Basic update of the KDE section so it's not complete nonsense, I'll add more information later (ASAP). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ === KDE === - This release features [http://kde.org/announcements/announce-3.5.8.php KDE] [[GetVal(DocsDict,KDEVer)]]. In addition, the '''kdepim''' package has been updated to a version from the ''kdepim/enterprise'' branch, which includes many bugfixes and enhancements beyond the stock upstream '''kdepim'''. + This release features [http://kde.org/announcements/announce-4.0.2.php KDE] [[GetVal(DocsDict,KDEVer)]]. As the `kdepim` and `kdevelop` packages are not part of KDE 4.0 and `kdewebdev` is only partially available (no Quanta) in KDE 4.0, the KDE 3.5.9 versions of those packages are shipped. - Fedora 8 does '''not''' include the KDE 4 Desktop because the currently available prerelease versions are not ready for daily use. It does include the KDE 4 Development Platform, which can be used to develop, build, and run KDE 4 applications within KDE 3 or any other desktop environment. See the ''Development'' section for more details about what is included. + Fedora 9 does '''not''' include the legacy KDE 3 Desktop. It does include a compatibility KDE 3 Development Platform, which can be used to build and run KDE 3 applications within KDE 4 or any other desktop environment. See the ''Backwards Compatibility'' section for more details about what is included. - Since `knetworkmanager` does not work with the version of '''NetworkManager''' available in this release, the KDE Live images use `nm-applet` from `NetworkManager-gnome` as a replacement. The `gnome-keyring-daemon` facility saves passwords for these encryption technologies. The `knetworkmanager` package in this release is a script that calls `nm-applet`. The `knetworkmanager` package will be updated to provide a KDE frontend when a compatible version is available. + Since `knetworkmanager` does not work with the version of '''NetworkManager''' available in this release, the KDE Live images use `nm-applet` from `NetworkManager-gnome` as a replacement. The `gnome-keyring-daemon` facility saves passwords for these encryption technologies. (The dummy `knetworkmanager` package from Fedora 8 which only called `nm-applet` is no longer used.) - Due to the merge of '''compiz''' and '''beryl''' into '''compiz-fusion''', KDE now uses '''compiz'''. To switch from '''kwin''' to '''compiz''', use the helper provided in the menu under ''Settings'' > ''Desktop Effects''. + As the native KWin window manager now optionally supports compositing and desktop effects, the KDE Live images no longer include Compiz/Beryl. KWin's compositing/effects mode is disabled by default, but can be enabled in `systemsettings`. === Web Browsers === -- Fedora-relnotes-content mailing list Fedora-relnotes-content@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-relnotes-content
