I have noticed and I have been using it for more than twelve hours. Several
remarks:

1) konqueror has been more stable (not a single crash as compared with beta 1)

2) in kontact some key shortcuts are not working, it is not possible to switch
between parts using Ctr+# where # is a digit.

3) in kmail Ctr+N does not produce a new message although it says so in the
menu. Funnily and probably related the option of New Message appears twice in
the key shortcuts dialog.

4) the networknamager icon does not show in the system tray.

5) I really enjoy the new look. :-)

Thanks Rex, its working very well indeed with my initial tests so far, and
Konq seems much more stable with 4.0.82

Nice to see some new Plasmoids available, so don't forget to download
kdeplasmoids :)

Cheers

Noticed that kdebindings has not been released for 4.0.82.

Got kdeplasmoids. My favourite, the picture frame, is not working correctly.
In the old extragear package, the picture frame remained set at a fixed
position on the screen, regardless of the size of the image, so that it was
always centred vertically and never ran off the edge of the screen
horizontally. Now, it jumps around all over the place, sometimes at the top,
sometimes centred vertically, but often running off the screen on the right or
left edge (I have it positioned a bit right of centre to make room for other
plasmoids, and before it worked nicely). There also used to be a setting to
have plasmoids align to a grid: this seems to have disappeared in this
release. Perhaps that is why the picture frame does not remain within the
confines of the screen?

Ditto... no networkmanager icon in systray and I haven't had enough time to
see if the reminder daemons stay on.

Yes, this is really looking up.

Correct, most, but not all of the gtk-systray-applet fixes made it into 4.0.82. Word is that 4.0.83 should finally put that to rest.
