interesting bits in 4.4.0 for plasma-*
With KDE Software Compilation v4.4.0 tagged and going through final release engineering processes, early reviews and discussions about it are appearing around the Internet. It's great to see the interest bubbling around it all.
One interesting meme is that "not much has changed". That sentiment is a sign that things are settling down nicely in KDE 4: things aren't moving around as much and there's a sense of predictability again. This is an important milestone.
However, some people are under the impression that pretty much nothing has been done except "under the hood changes". I think this highlights a challenge for our communication around SC 4.4.0: just because KDE 4 has hit an externally visible stable trajectory and the SC 4.3 -> SC 4.4 jump is smooth, that doesn't mean that there aren't lots of new and exciting things in SC 4.4.0.
Let's take the Plasma Desktop, for example.
