A couple of days ago, the KDE project released the first beta of KDE 4.1. This version is suppose to bring stability as well completeness to KDE 4.0. I downloaded it soon after Kubuntu had packages for it, and it leaves me with mixed (but mostly good) emotions.

Although this is a beta, the desktop itself is very stable. I had problems logging out before, and they’re gone now. I wish the same could be set for the new apps, which keep crashing on me on certain tasks.

One great feature KDE4.1 brings are the Personal Information Manager application, which have finally been ported to KDE4. Kontact, KMail and Akregator, along with all their plugins are functional. However, these programs don’t seem to be thoroughly tested, as they often crash when changing certain settings.

Stumble it!
