 <para>

   to make this release better and easier to use in every way. We have also made
   quite a few improvements. We are confident you will like what you see.

-  In addition to numerous bug fixes, this version also includes new features and
-  functionality.  Although all new features have had some testing, this is
-  considered a development release, in preparation for a full release 4.8 early
-  in 2015.

+  The largest amount of work has gone towards basing this version on KDE
+  Frameworks.  Many of the underlying libraries used by the application have
+  been reorganized and improved, but most of that is behind the scenes, and not
+  directly visible to the end user.  Some of the general look and feel may have
+  changed, but the basic functionality of the program remains the same, aside
+  from intentional improvements and additions.

+  the developers, so it has actually had a significant amount of testing.
