Hi all,
KDE Software Compilation 4.4.4 has been released, which is codenamed as “cheers”. This compilation release focus on bug fixes rather than adding new improvements.
June 1st, 2010. Today, KDE has released a new version of the KDE Software Compilation (KDE SC). This month’s edition of KDE SC is a bugfix and translation update to KDE SC 4.4. KDE SC 4.4.4 is a recommended update for everyone running KDE SC 4.4.3 or earlier versions. As the release only contains bugfixes and translation updates, it will be a safe and pleasant update for everyone. Users around the world will appreciate that KDE SC 4.4.4 multi-language support is more complete. KDE SC 4 is already translated into more than 50 languages, with more to come.

If you are on KDE4.4 series repos, the repos will have the latest packages.
Follow this article for how to upgrade.
Want to test bleeding edge KDE4.5, this article will guide you.
UPDATE-1 (04-06-2010 2pm): Repos are not populated yet for openSUSE 11.2, which means KDE4.4.4 is not available in the repos. I will update this post, when got packages in the repos.
UPDATE-2 (05-06-2010 3pm): Ran the update this afternoon, and got 51 packages to upgrade, but there is still no sign of KDE4.4.4 in the repos. So i assume we will have to wait till next Monday. Hope repos will be populated next week. Will update this post, if got packages in the mean time.
UPDATE-3 (08-06-2010 3pm): There is update from the openSUSE team, according to them they are busy with 11.3 ATM and still have no time to push KDE4.4.4 updates to the KDE4 repo. But as this does not change much things, because KDE4.4.4 has just few changes and has no effect on KDE4.4.3, so to stick to KDE4.4.3 is also fine ATM. But if you want to move to KDE4.5, follow the link above to update, KDE4.5 will release in August. At the mean time if you are on KDE4.3 and want to update to KDE4.4, this link will guide you to update.
UPDATE (19-06-2010 11am): Here we are with KDE4.4.4, openSUSE factory repo is populated with new KDE4.4.4 packages, run zypper dup or software management repositories switch, and you will be with KDE4.4.4 after a while. This link will guide you through if you still have problems with repos and command.
