From KDE Apps:

Version 2.9.1 of Yakuake, a drop-down terminal for KDE modelled on a similar feature in the Quake game (and based on KDE's own Konsole terminal), has been released. Changes:

• Starting Yakuake a second time now toggles the window state, making it possible to open and retract Yakuake from a panel button or by simply running the executable.
• Disabled standard startup notifications ("Launch Feedback") for Yakuake.
• Fixed Open/Retract action not working with versions of KDE 4 trunk (4.1) after March 10th, 2008.
• Fixed a bug that could cause actions also available from the tab context menu to operate on the wrong session when triggered by keyboard shortcut and the context menu had been used previously.
• Fixed the "Close Active Terminal", "Split Left/Right" and "Split Top/Bottom" actions not operating on the correct session when activated from the context menu of a tab other than the active tab.
• Some additions to the KDE4FAQ file.

From KDE Apps:

Version 0.9.3 of Smb4K, the KDE Samba share browser (which enables accessing of Windows shares), has been released. Changes:

• Revised and optimized the code of the password handler. One consequence is, that the format of the wallet entries is not compatible with previous versions!
• Fixed a regression in the network browser.
• Fixed an unmount problem that occurred when mount.smbfs is indeed a symlink to or a copy of mount.cifs.
• The mount command now always includes the NetBIOS name of the local host.
