A large number of the programs did change (I forget the actual number), but |
| 13 |
this time all packages were bumped in order to ensure that everyone |
| 14 |
recompiled all of them. This was due to a bug in the way that KDE 3.4 used |
| 15 |
visibility support in GCC 3.4 and later. |

You have already benefited within the releases though where small patches are |
| 18 |
applied to individual components of KDE and only that component is recompiled |
| 19 |
rather than kdepim as a whole for example. You may notice several -3.4.1-r1 |
| 20 |
packages in there already. |

This universal bumping of packages should not be necessary in future. |
