This seems an appropriate place to mention that I was pleasantly surprised |
| 24 |
to see an ARTS version that actually matched the KDE version, this time |
| 25 |
around. =8^) I always wondered why they hadn't jumped the version to |

match, and am glad it happened now, regardless of whether it was Gentoo or |
| 27 |
KDE that made the decision. |
