The KDE team has announced the release of KDE 4 RC 2, codenamed “Coenig.” According to the announcement, RC 2 is now feature complete and all that remains to be done are a few bug fixes, finishing up the artwork, and some user experience stuff. I have not yet tried it my self, although I plan to soon, so I cannot give any opinion. The current expected release date for the final KDE 4 is January 11th.
