k3b 2 went into beta

So, it happened. Michael Malek announced that k3b is now in beta. In this case, if there are no unexpected problems, the release (actually version 2.0) will be at the end of February.
So, firstly, the beta version brought a frieze of lines, that is, from this point on, translators can easily translate without looking at the developers.

New features (relative to 1.69 (2.0-alpha4))

• Blu-ray support
• The Options button on the toolbar from the file browser for file-related operations (from the category "Show hidden files")
• Project and image files can be opened directly from the k3b file browser
• New oxygen icons
