The KDE Project released two security advisories today. The
first advisory is about a vulnerability in handling secure cookies, which has been fixed already in the
KDE 3.0.3 release.
Another vulnerability was discovered last
week on Bugtraq, which is related to the cross site scripting protection in Konqueror.
A patch and an updated
kdelibs package was released today
to fix both problems. The KDE 3.0.3 Info page was updated as well.
It is recommended to upgrade immediately. |

A problem has been discovered in the way in which Konqueror handles SSL certificates.
SSL certificates are used by websites to prove that they are indeed the website the
user thinks they are. An advisory
has been released to bring this issue under the attention of all KDE users. The solution
is to upgrade kdelibs to KDE 3.0.3.
A patch for KDE 2.2.2 is also available. |
|
| The CVS version of Konqueror
now comes with support for tabbed browsing. |
|
| The KDE Web Browser Konqueror received the
editors' choice
award for the
web client thanks to "its high quality and for its very good integration into
the desktop". The other KDE laureates were KDevelop as best development tool
and KDE itself for being the best desktop environment. |
|
| Konqueror, the versatile KDE web browser, file manager and document
viewer, won the award for "Best client-side Open Source Software" at at the
"Systems" fair in Munich, Germany. Alongside KDevelop, KDE's integrated development
environment was awarded as best development software. More details about the
awards are available (in German) from the linux-community.de
web site. |
|
| Peter-Paul Koch, maintainer of a JavaScript/DOM/CSS testing site, updated
his browser
section. He reviews Konqueror, together with the other Version 5
browsers, Mozilla and IE and concludes, "In short, the few remaining bugs in
Konqueror are details that no doubt will be solved soon. The development team
has succeeded in building an excellent, standards compliant browser from
scratch." |
|
| In the September 2001
issue of Linux Magazine, Konqueror, the KDE all-in-one wunder kind, has
been awarded the Tuxie for Best Web Browser as part of the 2001 Editors'
Choice Awards.

|
| OSnews is running an interview with Konqueror developers Dirk Mueller,
Waldo Bastian, Carsten Pfeiffer and Simon Hausmann about what the future
holds in store for Konqueror. Most of the covered topics are familiar to the
frequent dot.kde.org reader, but some stuff -- such as details of the Atheos
port, font handling, and plans for improved CSS2 support -- is very
interesting. Read the whole interview.

|
| George Russell today released Speaker, a first salvo at making Konqueror synthesize text to speech and hence making Konqueror useable by people with visual impairments and by people who are otherwise unable to view a screen. Speaker is a plugin for Konqueror which provides text-to-speech-synthesis using the Festival Speech Synthesis System engine developed at Edinburgh University. |
|
| Konqueror just gained the ability to embed MSIE ActiveX controls such as the popular
Shockwave Player, and LivePics.
Read the full announcement and the discussions
on the dot. |
|
| Another cool khtml feature just made it into CVS. Konqueror is now capable of
completing forms in webformulars as in IE5. Read the complete story on Kernel Cousin KDE. |
|
| Konqueror has been ported to Qt/Embedded
by Simon Hausmann. The story is here
and the code is here.
Exciting news for owners of Qt/Embedded-enabled palmtop devices !
|
|
| Konqueror now uses the XBEL standard for its bookmarks. XBEL is an XML
specification for storing bookmarks, as defined by the Python XML SIG. This is
certainly a step in the direction of more interoperatibility with other
browsers, bookmark management tools and bookmark collections.
|
|
| Konqueror is now able to show a preview of the contents of text files, not only
image files anymore.
|
|
| The well-known "image preview" feature now works over the network
as well, for instance when browsing a FTP server with images, or
a Windows share. It supports both pixie (3 different sizes) and xv thumbnails.
Another new feature, asked by konqueror's early users, is listing with
wildcards, like /tmp/*.txt
|
|
| Konqueror now supports undo when used as a file manager. Copying,
moving and deleting files (if using the Trash Bin) can be undone.
Discover many other new features by trying the current CVS!
