FWIW, I see a couple bugfixes in the published 4.8.1 changelog that might be related to dolphin and konqueror eating 100% cpu. One of them mentions a possible endless loop being triggered when resizing a dolphin window smaller, kde bug #289238. Another simply mentions "problems" with an integer overflow in sort-by-size mode, #293068. Presumably that'd be for really large files. There's several crasher bugs fixed too. You weren't crashing, but it's possible one or more of them could trigger endless loops in some circumstances, too. FWIW, I upgraded to 4.8.1 a day or two ago, before the public announcement. Seems the tarballs were either available before the announcement, or gentoo/kde took a cue from arch and mirrored them early, before the public announcement. (KDE normally makes tarballs available to the distro packagers nearly a week in advance, so they can test and hopefully have packages ready by the announcement.) I had been a bit jealous of arch users, since their packager apparently was mirroring the tarballs before the public announcement, but at least this time, it appears either gentoo/kde or kde itself did a pre-announce release as well. Making them available a day or two before the public announcement does makes sense, tho, since it'll mean less pressure on the servers in the 48 hours or so immediately following a release. I don't know what the bandwidth usage is like, but spreading it out won't hurt, for sure. Anyway, now the announcement is out, so I can see a bit of what I upgraded for. =:^) Links: The short dot blurb (nothing there really but a place to comment; sometimes the comments are interesting to read. http://dot2.kde.org/2012/03/07/kde-ships-march-updates-plasma-workspaces-applications-and-platform Announcement (not much of significance there either): http://kde.org/announcements/announce-4.8.1.php Changelog (the fixes I mention are listed here; it doesn't list all changes, but links the svn/git logs): http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog4_8_0to4_8_1.php -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
