December 20, 2013. The KDE Community is proud to announce two milestones of 
the Plasma Workspaces.

  Workspaces
* Plasma Media Center 1.2.0 -- Many new features and improvements in Plasma's 
  Media Center user experience.


Plasma 2 Technology Preview 

KDE's Plasma Team presents a first glance at the evolution of the Plasma 
Workspaces. Plasma 2 Technology Preview demonstrates the current development 
status. The Plasma 2 user interfaces are built using QML and run on top of a 
fully hardware accelerated graphics stack using Qt5, QtQuick 2 and an OpenGL(-
ES) scenegraph. Plasma 2's converged workspace shell allows you to run and 
switch between user interfaces for different form factors, and makes the 
workspace adaptable to the given target device. The workspace demonstrated in 
this technology preview is Plasma Desktop, an incremental evolution to known 
desktop and laptop paradigms. The user experience aims at keeping existing 
workflows intact, while providing incremental visual and interactive 
improvements. More info:
