KDE 3.2.0 and KOffice 1.3 in Fink Unstable

---------------------------------------------------------------------
KDE 3.2.0 for Fink Released
---------------------------------------------------------------------

KDE 3.2.0 is now available in the unstable 10.3 (Panther) tree.
This release contains significant new features and bugfixes.

For a general idea of what's changed, see the official announcement
at:

   http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.2.php

The following is a list of changes related specifically to the Fink
release of KDE:

- qt 3.2.3 has had a number of bugfixes, including fixes to
   using Qt with qmake-based projects, and a few minor speed boosts

- most of the changes from the KDE 3.1.x series in Fink have been
   sent upstream to the KDE folks so the amount of patches in the
   current fink packages are considerably smaller

- KOffice is back, although not all filters work yet.  Expect
   revisions as things get cleaned up.

- Some post-3.2.0 patches are in these packages as well, to fix
   several big bugs that were found after the initial release by the
   KDE team.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Availability
---------------------------------------------------------------------

KDE 3.2.0 is available in both the 10.2-gcc3.3 and 10.3 trees, in
unstable.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation
---------------------------------------------------------------------

To install these packages you will need to update your package
listings, by doing:

   fink selfupdate

You must have unstable enabled, and be configured to pull packages
through CVS or RSync, not just updating at "point release".  If you
are currently tracking point releases, you can run
"fink selfupdate-rsync" (preferred) or "fink selfupdate-cvs".

For more information on enabling unstable, see:

   http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/users-guide/conf.php#optional

Once you have a fresh package listing, you can update by running
"fink update-all" if you have an existing KDE installation.  If you
did not previously have KDE installed, you can run "fink install
bundle-kde-ssl" (or "fink install bundle-kde" if US export laws
prevent you using strong crypto).

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Problems?  Questions?
---------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have questions or problems, please try the Fink mailing lists:

Fink Beginners:  http://fink.sourceforge.net/lists/fink-beginners.php
Fink Users:      http://fink.sourceforge.net/lists/fink-users.php

Or, you can contact the maintainer (me).

I expect there will probably be some upgrade issues, I've done a lot
of testing of the 3.2 series from prerelease on, but things always
pop up.  I will do my best to get things fixed up as soon as
possible.
