The KDE Project have announced the immediate availability of KDE 3.0, the third generation of KDE, a free and powerful desktop for Linux and other UNIXes.
The release of KDE 3.0 includes an impressive catalog of bug fixes, performance enhancements and feature additions.
"One of the major improvements brought by KDE 3.0 over KDE 2.2 is the JavaScript/DHTML support in Konqueror," stated Dirk Mueller, a KHTML developer and the KDE 3 release coordinator. "The implementation of the DOM model, used for rendering XML and well designed HTML pages, has been much improved. The CSS 1 rendering module support is considered complete. The JavaScript bindings and support is almost complete, faster and more stable than in KDE 2. The resulting improvements in the speed and rendering quality of state of the art web pages is something users will appreciate immediately."

KDE 3.01 has been released recently which I suspect is mainly a bugfix release.
