Three new applications were imported into Kdenonbeta. Kalternatives is a tool to quick and easy configuration of the Debian alternatives system. Konserve is a small backup application for the KDE 3.x environment. It lives in the system tray and is able to create regularly backups of several directories or files. ThreadWeaver eases the use of threading in event oriented programs, providing a thread pool, job objects, automatic job scheduling and signals and slots to notify on job completion. It will be used by kmail for async filtering and async gpg operations.

A year ago this week, the big news was Apple using khtml code for Safari, their browser. The code was made available to the KDE developers, who promptly started importing the changes into the mainline KDE codebase. Krdc added RDP capabilities.
