    KDE Official News

    Today, KDE makes available two new releases of its Workspaces, Applications and Development Platform. 4.7.4 provides bugfix updates, new translations and performance improvments on top of the stable 4.7 series, while 4.8 Beta2 gives a glimpse at what is coming in 4.8, to be released next month.
    As 4.7.4 is limited to low-risk fixes, it is a recommended update for everyone using 4.7.3 or earlier versions. 4.7.4 will be the last release of the 4.7 series. The next stable release of KDE's Workspaces, Applications and Development Frameworks will be 4.8.0, which will be ready in January 2012. Among the highlights which will be in 4.8 are a new and fancy view engine for Dolphin, Qt Quick Components for Plasma, and of course all the fixes that went into 4.7.4.

Des Hauts et des Bas sur la N7

Oyez ma complainte. C'est la vie d'un rocker!
"La salle cassée: mitard. Qu'Otto, nonobstant sa
Dèche, y rende plinthes; en temps de remords. Cour
Vaillant n'a pas deux sangs!". Le juge me tança.

Avec Maggy, tard, j'écris un morceau
Pour encaisser six cent mille baths/heure des
Minettes débridées aux petits verres mis sots
Aux petits vermisseaux mis nets, debs ridés.

Mi, le batteur débourre en caisse et s'y sent.
Je crie à mort (saut!) avec ma guitare,
Le jus! je me tend! ça va, y'en a pas deux cent !

Entend deux remorqueurs, déchirante plainte!
Qu'automne aux snobs tend. Sale, ah, sale cas, c'est mythe hard.
Cela vide un gros coeur! Oh yé! Macon, plaintes!
