TRINITY DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT 3.5.13.1 SRU RELEASED
The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to
announce the immediate availability of version 3.5.13.1 of the Trinity
Desktop Environment. The Trinity Desktop Environment is a complete
software desktop environment designed for Unix-like operating systems,
intended for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model, and is
free/libre software.
Almost a year in development and testing, this stable release update is
comprised of 141 bug fixes and 1,193 patches. This new release does not
introduce new features but is focused on stabilizing the 3.5.13 release.
It should be a smooth update for everyone currently using TDE v3.5.13.
Bug fixes for the desktop, the TDE Menu, and many other applications have
been included. Additionally, localizations for many languages have been
improved. To learn about the highlights of this release, visit its
information page

About TDE
The TDE project began as a continuation of the K Desktop Environment (KDE)
version 3. The name Trinity was chosen partly because the word means
"three" and TDE was formerly a continuation of KDE 3. Now its own desktop
environment project, it continues to gain features, fix existing bugs, and
provide a stable desktop to all.
The TDE project was founded by and is still led by Timothy Pearson.
Timothy is an experienced and skilled software developer and was the KDE
3.x coordinator of previous Kubuntu releases.
Note: The correct reference to the Trinity Desktop Environment is
"Trinity" or "TDE"; not "KDE3", "Trinity KDE3", "KDE3 Trinity", "KDE3
(Trinity)", or "Trinity (KDE3)". The Trinity Desktop Environment project
is not a continuation of KDE 3.5 by KDE e.V., which no longer supports the
KDE 3 series. Trinity is an independent fork using a separate developer
community.

The TDE spring fundraiser has not only met, but exceeded, our $2,000 goal
with $2,241.50 collected! The TDE project relies on your financial
support to continue development of this reliable and easy-to-use desktop
environment, so I offer a sincere 'thank you' to all who have donated to
keep this project alive and online.
The Qt4/TDE theme engine is now in the public GIT tree at
http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/qt4-tqt-theme-engine/ Over time I will
likely integrate some of the core Qt4 interface code directly into
tdelibs, making it easy for TDE developers to add Qt4 widgets into TDE
applications where needed or desired.
Once again, thank you to all who contributed, including those individuals
who have volunteered time and effort to assist with TDE development. TDE
would not be where it is today without your continued support!

I am pleased to report that the TDE Spring Fundraiser is currently on
track, with $1,540 of the needed $2,000 raised thus far. Thank you to
everyone who has donated thus far, it is much appreciated!
There are only 11 days remaining, so please keep the donations coming in
if you find the project useful and want to help keep it running, or simply
would like to see the TDE theme engine for Qt4 released at the end of this
month!
Timothy Pearson
Trinity Desktop Project
As you may already be aware the TDE spring fundraiser has recently
started. If you enjoy using TDE and possibly can't live without it, we'd
appreciate your financial assistance in keeping this unique project online
and moving forward.
If we reach our goal before April 30, I will release a theme engine that
allows Qt4 applications to blend in with TDE, all the way down to the file
open/save dialogs and icons.
Please visit http://trinitydesktop.org/newsentry.php?entry=2012.03.21 for
more information on how to donate to the project and details on the theme
engine.
TDE needs your support; donate today to help keep the project alive!

The TDE mirror system is now officially back online at full speed! All
TDE files that were on the original mirror system are now available for
download.
We will also continue to add new mirror sites in the future, increasing
the reliability of the overall system. The TDE project thanks those who
stepped forward to provide us with the new mirrors.
Once again, thank you for your patience while this issue was sorted out,
and enjoy!
Timothy Pearson
Trinity Desktop Project
Many of you are anxious to know when the TDE mirror system will be back
online. The answer is that, if all goes well, full high-speed access will
be restored in approximately 10 days. Due to the recent donations, for
which the TDE development team is grateful, I was able to ship a hard disk
with the entire TDE archive contents to our new primary mirror. That
mirror maintainer will then upload the entire archive to his mirror,
restoring high speed access.
In the meantime I have allowed direct public access to the TDE archive
server. This server is bandwidth limited as you are probably aware, and I
ask that users refrain from downloading large files (such as the source
tarballs) until the mirror system is back online. Extremely slow download
speeds are normal with this server due to loading on the limited bandwidth
connection, but it should help those users who just need a few files until
the mirror system is brought back online.
Once again the TDE project thanks you for your patience while we resolve
the remaining issues caused by the unexpected third-party mirror failure
late last December.
Timothy Pearson
Trinity Desktop Project
The TDE project is proud to announce the completion of its SVN to GIT
migration project!
See http://trinitydesktop.org/newsentry.php?entry=2012.01.01 for full
details.
Developers, please request GIT accounts at this time. Any account
requests made before the GIT repository opened are NOT being honored for
logistical reasons.
Let's make 2012 a great year for TDE!
Timothy Pearson
Trinity Desktop Project
I was just informed that the primary Trinity mirror server at
http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu has been taken offline permanently. As a
result, most TDE binary files and source tarballs are currently
unavailable for public access, as the secondary mirror seems to be set up
to point to the (offline) primary as of 12/20/2011. All files are intact
locally; this is a temporary mirroring failure ONLY.
I am working with the remaining mirror maintainers to resolve this issue.
Once the mirroring system is back online, any problems encountered should
be reported immediately to the trinity-devel mailing list.
The Trinity project would like to thank the maintainer of the defunct
uidaho.edu server, Dave Lien, for providing our primary mirror for the
past couple of years. This mirror server was the fastest and most
reliable of the entire system.
This event leaves the Trinity project in need of several new mirror sites
to ensure reliable operation. If you have an unlimited, fast connection
and want to provide a mirror for TDE, please contact Timothy Pearson at
kb9vqf(a)pearsoncomputing.net You will need to be able to schedule an rsync
pull via cron on a 24 hour interval to be able to provide a mirror.
Thank you for your understanding while I sort out the remaining issues!
