From KDE.org: The KDE Project today announced the immediate availability of KDE 3.1 alpha1, the first development release of a significant feature upgrade for KDE 3 (screenshots). KDE 3 is the third generation of KDE’s free, powerful and easy-to-use Internet-enabled desktop for Linux and other UNIXes. KDE 3.1, scheduled for final release in October 2002, will provide substantial improvements to the KDE desktop experience. As the KDE 3 API is frozen for binary compatibility, KDE 3.1 will be binary compatible with KDE 3.0.
