The 4.2.0 update isn't stable yet for a reason. Heck, it isn't even in the
official updates-testing yet. Making everything work takes time.
Fair enough, it takes time to make things work. But it's nearly a year
now since KDE 4.0 was released? ;-)
Also, I was under the impression that KDE 4.2 was released yesterday,
that the kde-redhat rpms are built using that code base and that KDE 4.2
is a 'stable' release? (Although quite what constitutes a stable
upstream KDE release is lost on me these days.) Unless the 'bugs' are
caused by the way the release is being packaged for Fedora, I'm not
really sure I understand your, "making it work takes time", comment.
We're indeed working on the Bluetooth issue which is a 4.2
regression.
The work is appreciated. Keep at it. Hopefully by a 4.3 release the
desktop will be feature complete and "just working".
For the other stuff, was that already broken in 4.1? Our biggest
priority is
for our 4.2.0 update not to break things which worked. But of course having
stuff still unfixed also sucks.
With any degree of certainty, I cannot say. I'll try again when KDE 4.2
is in Fedora stable and bz any remaining problems.
Regards
Clive
