"KBFX Silk" (0.4.9.3) Tested Technology Preview
===============================================

Hello everyone,

For all of you that thought we might be dead - you were wrong. But we had good
reason to wait that long with another release:  We wanted to implement things
that needed a drastic code rewrite and we wanted to make KBFX ready for porting
to KDE4.  These requirements urged us - once more - to rewrite it from scratch,
allowing us to implement a plug-in infrastructure, which makes KBFX even
more customizable. This time, customizable doesn't only include the
presentation, but also the functionality.

As this was - and is - a big project - we yet were not able to implement everything
we wanted. So some of the features we want in "KBFX Silk" (0.4.9.3) are still
not ready. The menu itself, however, is fully functional.

As "KBFX Silk" includes many improvements in speed, functionality and design, we
wanted to make it available for you. And although we are not yet able to make
an official stable release, we proudly present you "KBFX Silk" (0.4.9.3) as Tested
Technology Preview - "KBFX Silk TTP". This means the code is stable and was under
extensive internal testing and code review, but we still miss some of the functionality
desired for the official release, especially in terms of configuration. 

So try it, and have fun. 

We have great respect for our users, so we choosed one Start Button from kde-look.org
( http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=36399 ) and inserted it in this release.
We will use this button until "KBFX Silk" 0.4.9.3 comes out as stable version. We would like
to congratulate Revaline C. Regendra and give him big credits and thanks.

All the best from your KBFX Team. :)
