The KDE Community today announced the immediate availability of KDE 4.3 Beta 2, the second preview of the 3rd iteration over the KDE 4 desktop, applications and development platform. KDE 4.3 focuses on polishing and completing the user experience by providing a modern and beautiful Free working environment. KDE's award-winning tools and applications are available in more than 50 languages. After the first beta, the focus has now shifted clearly from the implementation of new features to polishing the user experience for the 4.3 release. As there's still well over a month until we would like to give testers an update of KDE 4.3's status. In the last month, 2991 bugs have been closed and 3008 new bugs opened, meaning that there is a lot of testing and fixing going on.
