Kubuntu 12.10 Highlights


1GB Images

We're bursting out of our increasingly limited CD-sized images. The 12.10 images need to be installed from a DVD or USB drive. This will give us the room to ship more of the world-class KDE Software.


KDE Plasma and Applications 4.9

The latest release of KDE's Plasma Workspaces and Applications brings new features and improvements all around. Highlights include further integration of Qt Quick in plasmoids making them more attractive, easier to enhance and extend and behave better on touchscreens. Dolphin file manager has improved its display and sorting and searching based on metadata. Deeper integration of Activities for files, windows and other resources. Kontact PIM suite sees bug fixes and performance improvements and introduces new tools to import mail, filters, account information, calendar data and address book entries from Thunderbird and Evolution. A mail backup and restore tool has also been added. Okular document viewer and Gwenview image browser both also see added functionality and improvements.


New Software Selections

We have added some new software to the default setup.

Calligra Suite
We have added two world class apps from KDE's creativity suite. Krita is a painting programme to draw beautiful image and manipulate your images. Kexi is a desktop database application, suitable for large use or a small home address book.
The Calligra site includes many other applications for document and creative use, install from from Muon Software Centre to try them all.
