KDE Software Compilation 4.4.5 has been released



June 30th, 2010. Today, KDE has released a new version of the KDE Software Compilation (KDE SC). This is expected to be the final bugfix and translation update to KDE SC 4.4. KDE SC 4.4.5 is a recommended update for everyone running KDE SC 4.4.4 or earlier versions. As the release only contains bugfixes and translation updates, it will be a safe and pleasant update for everyone. Users around the world will appreciate that KDE SC 4.4.5 multi-language support is more complete. KDE SC 4 is already translated into more than 55 languages, with more to come.

KDE SC 4.4.5 brings a number of improvements:

* Several bugs in encoding and refreshing in Konsole have been fixed
* A couple of crashes in Okular's PDF viewer have been fixed
* Alarms have received some fixes in KDE PIM

The changelog lists more, if not all improvements since KDE SC 4.4.4. There are no more scheduled releases in the 4.4 series. The next feature release will be KDE SC 4.5.0, to be released in August this year.
