Kalzium adds gradients and crystal structure data. KOffice supports loading of embedded objects from OASIS format. khtml improves XHTML handling. Kopete adds full text search of history, styles, recieving files and buzzing in Yahoo, and work continues on video device support. KDE 4 work continues with some applications able to run.
Mark Kretschmann announced version 1.2.4 of the amaroK audio player:
War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by ruthless commercial media players. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. In a stunning move, the fiendish amaroK hackers have assembled version 1.2.4 in a desperate attempt to save the princess and return her to The roK Kingdom.

ChangeLog relative to amaroK 1.2.3:

FEATURES:
  • Queue selected tracks shortcut, Ctrl+D. (BR 83675)
BUGFIXES:
  • The first engine entry in the config dialog was always blank.
  • If you filtered by more than one word in Collection Browser, adding expandable items (eg: artists or albums) wouldn't work. (BR 100150)
  • Updating the collection without any changes being made to it kept the Update button disabled forever.
  • Application freezes when switching shoutcast streams. (BR 103890)
  • MusicBrainz lookup was not escaping quote characters. (BR 103740)
  • Fixed crash when clicking the "clear" button in CoverManager's filter widget.
  • Update lyrics page on new radio stream metadata. (BR 99725)
  • xine-engine was reporting bogus tracklengths for ogg vorbis. (BR 102547)
Jeroen Wijnhout announced Kile version 1.8:
As of now Kile, a LaTeX environment for KDE, version 1.8 is available for download from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kile/kile-1.8.tar.bz2?download

ChangeLog:
