8 | Due to the massive amount of Konsole changes in KDE 4.8, some of the new features and fixes | ||||
9 | are listed below. A large portion of these are due to Konsole's new | ||||
10 | developer Jekyll Wu <adaptee@gmail.com>. He has also done a lot to clean up | ||||
11 | the code. There have also been other contributions that have provided | ||||
12 | patches and commits. | ||||
