The Panel in KDE 4.2
FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION
Also available in:KDE Commmunity Ships Release Candidate of KDE 4.2, codenamed "Cilense"
January 13th, 2009. The KDE
Community today announced the immediate availability of "Cilense",
(a.k.a KDE 4.2 Release Candidate), the only planned release candidate for the
KDE 4.2 desktop.
Cilense is aimed at testers and reviewers. It should provide a solid
ground to report last-minute bugs that
need to be tackled
before KDE 4.2.0 is released. Reviewers can use this release candidate
to get a first look at
the upcoming KDE 4.2 desktop which provides significant improvements all over
the desktop and applications. It is not recommended for everyday use, however.
KDE 4.2.0 will be released in January, 27th 2009, 6
months after KDE 4.1. KDE 4.2.0 will be followed up by a series of monthly
service updates and followed up by KDE 4.3.0 in summer 2009.
Features and improvements of KDE 4.2 are covered in the 4.2 Beta 2 release announcement.
To find out more about the KDE 4 desktop and applications, please also refer to the KDE 4.1.0 and KDE 4.0.0 release notes.

Some of these binary packages are available for free download via the KDE 4.2 RC Info Page. Additional binary packages, as well as updates to the packages now available, may become available over the coming weeks.
Package Locations. For a current list of available binary packages of which the KDE Project has been informed, please visit the KDE 4.2 RC Info Page.
