January 7th, 2010. Today, KDE has released a series of updates to the Plasma Desktop and Netbook workspaces, the KDE Applications and the KDE Frameworks. This update is the fifth in a series of monthly stabilization updates to the 4.5 series. 4.5.5 brings bugfixes and translation updates on top of 4.5 series and is a recommended update for everyone running 4.5.4 or earlier versions. As the release only contains bugfixes and translation updates, it will be a safe and pleasant update for everyone. KDE's software is already translated into more than 55 languages, with more to come.

To download source code or packages to install go to the 4.5.5 Info Page. The changelog lists more, but not all of the 54 source code commits since 4.5.4.
