On August 4 the KDE communtiy announced the release of KDE 4.3, aka “Caizen”. Beside numerous bug fixes it also brings new features which makes the KDE 4 desktop environment more complete. Over 10,000 bugs have been fixed and around 2,000 features have been added. Kudos to the developers.

After KDE 4.1 was released I switched over from my beloved KDE 3.5. It was a rough relationship at first. Then version 4.2 came along and I saw light again. Much improved functionality and stability. This morning I installed KDE 4.3. Everything looks a bit more refined. I will need to use it a bit longer to test new features. The upgrade via Yast (I use OpenSUSE 11.1) worked well.

Check out the video below to learn about the features.
