Published desktop environment release Trinity R14.1.2which continues the development of the KDE 3.5.x and Qt 3 code base. Binary packages will soon be prepared for Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL/CentOS, Fedora, openSUSE And other distributions.
Trinity's features include its own tools for managing screen parameters, a udev-based layer for working with equipment, a new interface for configuring equipment, a transition to the Compton-TDE composite manager (a Compton fork with TDE extensions), an improved network configurator and user authentication mechanisms. The Trinity environment can be installed and used simultaneously with more current releases of KDE, including the ability to use KDE applications already installed on the system in Trinity. There are also tools for correctly displaying the interface of GTK programs without violating the uniform design style.
