There are some welcome fixes to Plasma and Konqueror for stability.

Yesterday, Kubuntu announced that 4.3.4 was released through the Kubuntu repositories.

It is recommended that Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) users apply this update.

As for Linux Mint KDE users, you will have to wait for Mint KDE (Helena), due out shortly we hope, to upgrade. This is because the current version of Mint KDE is based on Mint 7 (Gloria), which in turn is based on Kubuntu 9.04.
