Stephan Kulow, Master of the CVS, wearing ad interim the togue of the Master of the Great Release, announced today, *6 February 1999 at 21h17 (CET), that the latest and greatest KDE version, KDE-1.1,* is released: "OK, I tagged [the CVS repository] with 1_1_RELEASE and put that tagged version on upload.kde.org". Wait for binary package sets to appear any time now for the different Unix platforms. Again, at this moment of celebration, our gratitude is addressed to the excellent community of KDE developers for their selfless work and to the millions of users which, by constant support and encouragement, by bug reports and by features suggestions, made KDE possible, and the nice, more than two years long, history of our project, a glorious one. Thank you all! ATTENTION: this Change Log is nowhere near complete. The changes descriptions were kept brief. There are many applications for which the authors didn't have the time (or found it less essential than coding) to submit a list of changes. These applications are not present in this page. However, there is very little code in KDE which wasn't revisited since KDE-1.0. The main result is a much more stable and a faster version, the already well known KDE-1.1. Thanks to all involved. Thanks to the users for their great moral support. Also, please note that thanks to the excellent team of artists which help KDE look beautiful, a new, improved, nicer set of icons, backgrounds, textures, are available in KDE-1.1. Torsten Rahn kindly provided the beatiful KDE logo which now appears on the panel and in the help and web pages.
