At the beginning of August, the KDE project released the third major update of KDE 4 – reason enough to put KDE 4.3 through its paces and study the new features.
KDE 4 got off to a slow start. Version 4.0 offered significant revisions under the hood, but the end user features still needed some polishing. Many users were disappointed with version 4.0, which was intended primarily for developers. Versions 4.1 and 4.2 were suitable for daily use, but KDE fans still had to do without a number of the features offered with KDE 3.
Version 4.3, alias Caizen, brings KDE 4 back to calmer waters. Caizen refers to a Japanese philosophy of gradual or continuous improvement (Kaizen).
