May 21, 2001 (The INTERNET). 

The KDE Project today announced the release of KOffice 1.1beta2. KOffice is 
an integrated office suite for KDE which utilizes open standards for 
component communication and component embedding. The primary goals of this 
release, which comes 4 weeks after the release of KOffice 1.1beta1, are to 
provide a preview of KOffice 1.1 and to involve users who wish to request 
missing features or report problems. Code development is currently focused on 
stabilizing KOffice 1.1, scheduled for final release this summer.

This release includes the following components: KWord (a frame-based, 
full-featured word processor); KPresenter (a presentation application); 
KSpread (a spreadsheet application); KIllustrator (a vector-drawing 
application); Krayon (a bitmap image editor); Kivio (a flowchart 
application); KChart (a chart drawing application); KFormula (a formula 
editor); Kugar (a tool for generating business quality reports); and filters 
(for importing/exporting documents).

The full announcement, including links to source and binary packages, is 
available at http://www.koffice.org/announcements/announce-1.1-beta2.phtml
