A shiny new Kubuntu release all for you. You can install it safe in the knowledge that the Kubuntu community will make security updates and major bug fixes for 5 years along with Canonical's lovely resources doing the same on much of the rest of the Ubuntu packages.

Sorry about those, we'll get onto them. Read More

With the availability of the Qt 5 alpha, I thought I'd try to summarise what's been done in the SSL stack. Most of the changes in Qt 5 for SSL are incremental improvements, or things that will form the basis of future changes. In this post I'll try to highlight the main changes: Read More
