From kde Thu Nov 18 23:27:16 1999 From: Mosfet Date: Thu, 18 Nov 1999 23:27:16 +0000 To: kde Subject: Re: Oh man. ***Can*** wait for KDE2 to go GOLD! X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde&m=94296906522436 No, everyone is working on the KDE2 branch now. If you want whatever changes have been made in 1.x since 1.1.2 (not much except a few bugfixes and translations - not enough to justify a release), use cvsup and put KDE_1_1_BRANCH in the *default tag parameter. This will check out the latest in the KDE 1.x branch, but development there has effectively stopped in favor of 2.0. "Timothy R.
