KDE veröffentlicht die KDE-Anwendungen 17.04.0

April 20, 2017. KDE Applications 17.04 is here. On the whole, we have worked to make both the applications and the underlying libraries more stable and easier to use. By ironing out wrinkles and listening to your feedback, we have made the KDE Applications suite less prone to glitches and much friendlier.

Viel Spaß mit den neuen Anwendungen.

KAlgebra

The developers of KAlgebra are on their own particular road to convergence, having ported the mobile version of the comprehensive educational program to Kirigami 2.0 -- the preferred framework for integrating KDE applications on desktop and mobile platforms.

Furthermore, the desktop version has also migrated the 3D back-end to GLES, the software that allows the program to render 3D functions both on the desktop and on mobile devices. This makes the code simpler and easier to maintain.

Kdenlive

KDE's video editor is becoming more stable and more full-featured with every new version. This time, the developers have redesigned the profile selection dialog to make it easier to set screen size, framerate, and other parameters of your film.

Now you can also play your video directly from the notification when rendering is finished. Some crashes that happened when moving clips around on the timeline have been corrected, and the DVD Wizard has been improved.

Dolphin

Our favorite file explorer and portal to everything (except maybe the underworld) has had several makeovers and usability improvements to make it even more powerful.

The context menus in the Places panel (by default on the left of the main viewing area) have been cleaned up, and it is now possible to interact with the metadata widgets in the tooltips. The tooltips, by the way, now also work on Wayland.

Ark

The popular graphical app for creating, decompressing and managing compressed archives for files and folders now comes with a Search function to help you find files in crowded archives.

It also allows you to enable and disable plugins directly from the Configure dialog. Talking of plugins, the new Libzip plugin improves Zip archive support.

Minuet

If you are teaching or learning to play music, you have to check out Minuet. The new version offers more scales exercises and ear-training tasks for bebop, harmonic minor/major, pentatonic, and symmetric scales.

You can also set or take tests using the new Test mode for answering exercises. You can monitor your progress by running a sequence of 10 exercises and you'll get hit ratio statistics when finished.

And more!

Okular, KDE's document viewer, has had at least half a dozen changes that add features and crank up its usability on touchscreens. Akonadi and several other apps that make up Kontact (KDE's email/calendar/groupware suite) have been revised, debugged and optimized to help you become more productive.

Kajongg, KCachegrind and more (Release Notes) have now been ported to KDE Frameworks 5. We look forward to your feedback and insight into the newest features introduced with this release.

K3b wird jetzt als Teil der KDE-Anwendungen veröffentlicht.

Spread the Word

Non-technical contributors are an important part of KDE’s success. While proprietary software companies have huge advertising budgets for new software releases, KDE depends on people talking with other people. Even for those who are not software developers, there are many ways to support the KDE Applications release. Report bugs. Encourage others to join the KDE Community. Or support the nonprofit organization behind the KDE community

Please spread the word on the Social Web. Submit stories to news sites, use channels like delicious, digg, reddit, and twitter. Upload screenshots of your new set-up to services like Facebook, Flickr, ipernity and Picasa, and post them to appropriate groups. Create screencasts and upload them to YouTube, Blip.tv, and Vimeo. Please tag posts and uploaded materials with “KDE”. This makes them easy to find, and gives the KDE Promo Team a way to analyze coverage for this KDE Applications release.
