Download KDE Software Compilation 4.4.3

The third update for version 4.4.0 of the KDE Software Compilation was released on Wednesday. This popular desktop environment used to be known as the K Desktop Environment, but the developers now believe that KDE Software Compilation covers the load better. The KDE SC is primarily developed for Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris, but there are versions for it too Windows and Mac OS X. It comes with a standard desktop, including fifteen packages of applications, including a personal information manager, multimedia and network management programs, and games. Below are the main improvements made in this release.

KDE SC 4.4.3 has a number of improvements:

• Numerous fixes in Konsole, KDE’s terminal emulator, among them two possible crashers in session management
• Flash plugin support in KHTML has been enhanced to work with newest Youtube skins
• Case-sensitivity in renaming fixes in KIO, KDE’s network-transparent I/O library
• Hiding the mouse cursor in some special cases in presentation mode and two possible crashers have been fixed

the changelog lists more, if not all improvements since KDE SC 4.4.2.
