Download KDE Software Compilation 4.5.4

This popular desktop environment, which consists of the Development Platform, Plasma Workspaces and Applications components, is being developed primarily for Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris. There are also versions for Windows and Mac OS X, although they are somewhat less advanced in their development. The KDE Software Compilation comes with a standard desktop, including a variety of applications, including a personal information manager, multimedia and network management programs, and games. In version 4.5.0, the emphasis has been on improving usability, performance and stability. Work has continued on stabilizing KDE in this update.

December Updates Stabilize KDE 4.5 Further

KDE has released a series of updates to the Plasma Desktop and Netbook workspaces, the KDE Applications and the KDE Platform. This update is the fourth in a series of monthly stabilization updates to the 4.5 series. 4.5.4 brings bugfixes and translation updates on top of KDE SC 4.5 series and is a recommended update for everyone running 4.5.3 or earlier versions. As the release only contains bug fixes and translation updates, it will be a safe and pleasant update for everyone. KDE SC 4 is already translated into more than 55 languages, with more to come.

To download source code or packages to install go to the 4.5.4 Info Page† the changelog lists more, but not all improvements since 4.5.3.
