KBFX version 0.4.9.3 is a complete rewrite of the old KBFX code eliminating all the negative points of the previous versions.
At the start we had a list of end requirements for version 0.4.9.3 and we developed each of the feature units, testing each and every class as it was developed. Apart from unit testing, the quality assurance managers periodically checked the quality of the product and the new releases that were made to the KBFX source repository. The Q&A always checked the product against the requirements that we had set to maximize quality. This way of development helped us to discover tons of bugs and fix them instantly, and so we debut with a rather clean and bug free KBFX.
It was really helpful to see many users around the world checking out the development release of KBFX from SVN, reporting and posting problems encountered and helping to add more stability and compatibility between distributions. Because of this, we know the supported platforms even before KBFX is 0.4.9.3 is released.
KBFX has been tested to work with all GCC3.x and GCC4.x compilers. It has been tested on systems running the distributions of Gentoo, Debian, Ubuntu, Suse, Slackware, Mango, Mandrake, PCLinuxOS and Fedora core. Unfortunately, compiling on FreeBSD systems is yet to be tested, but we plan to port KBFX to FreeBSD and PcBSD.
