[Kile-announce] Kile 2.1 beta 2 released!

[Michel L. <mic...@kd...>]

Hi all,

on behalf of Kile's development team, I'm very pleased to announce the 
immediate availability of the second beta release for the Kile 2.1 series! 
Kile 2.1 will only be available for KDE 4.x (with x >= 2). Please note that 
this release does not include documentation or translations. 

As usual, the new release can be downloaded from Kile's homepage:

 http://kile.sourceforge.net/download.php

Compilation instructions can be found here:

 http://kile.sourceforge.net/help.php

The purpose of this beta release is to get as much feedback as possible. So, 
we are looking forward to hearing from you! You can contact the developers 
through the development mailing list:

 kil...@li...

If you should prefer a more formal setting and want to report a bug, you can 
use KDE's bug tracking system:

 http://bugs.kde.org/


All right, that's it, have fun with Kile!

  Michel
