Hi folks and KDE lovers, KDE team proudly announced the 2nd RC for upcoming release of KDE 4.9. This will be the bug fix release to most of the apps and libraries. Some of the notable changes in KDE 4.9 are:

• The Dolphin file manager has improved its display and sorting and searching based on metadata. Files can now be renamed inline, giving a smoother user experience.
• Deeper integration of Activities for files, windows and other resources: Users can now more easily associate files and windows with an Activity, and enjoy a more properly organized workspace. Folderview can now show files related to an Activity, making it easier to organize files into meaningful contexts.

openSUSE users can get it from the unstable repos. Checkout this guide for upgrading process.
