by Timothy Pearson 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of version 3.5.13.2 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. The 3.5.13.x releases, also known as "SRU", are focused on maintaining and stabilizing the classic 3.5.13 branch of TDE, which was originally based on KDE 3.5.10. This stable release is the 3rd 3.5.13 release and it is comprises of 91 bug fixes and 530 patches, including: * SAK (Secure Attention Key) improvements * Desktop locking improvements * Taskbar improvements * Kickoff style menu improvements * Faster session termination * Better stability for some applications External improvements include support for: * automake 1.13 * clucene 2.x * libwpd 0.9 * mp4v2 * ruby 1.9 * xine 1.2 This release adds support for newer versions of Linux distributions. It should be a smooth update for everyone currently using a previous release of TDE v3.5.13.x. To learn about the details of this release, visit the information page (http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/Releases_3_5_13_2) Getting TDE Premade binary packages have been made available by our contributors for Debian Squeeze, Wheezy; Ubuntu Lucid, Maverick, Natty, Oneiric, Precise, Quantal, Raring; Fedora 15, 16, 17, 18; RedHat Enterprise/CentOS 4, 5, 6; Mandriva 2011; Mageia 2, 3; openSUSE 11.4, 12.2, 12.3; and PCLinuxOS 2013.

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 Trinity is "Trinity," "Trinity Desktop Environment," or "TDE"; not "KDE3," "Trinity KDE3," "KDE3 Trinity," "KDE3 (Trinity)," "Trinity (KDE3)," or "KDE3 forked." The Trinity Desktop Environment project is not a continuation of KDE 3.5 by KDE e.V., members of which no longer support the KDE 3 series. Trinity is an independent fork provided by a separate developer community. Thank you for using the correct name!

TDE spring fundraiser success!
by Timothy Pearson 01 May '12

01 May '12

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! 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.
