All of the branches on branches/KDE are frozen for good. That means no new=

features and no new user-visible messages, but bug fixes (including=20
usability and accessibility ones) are allowed.

No KDE 3.6 release is planned.

What we will do is have 3.5.x releases. That's for certain.

If, on the other hand, you introduce important changes to 3.5 that require=
=20
a break from message- and/or feature-freeze, we could have a special=20
release. We should target it for sometime around 6-9 months from now.

I wouldn't call it 3.6 because many applications have started moving off=20
to KDE4 and Qt4 codebases and development has stopped on the KDE3 code.=20
It wouldn't be a full KDE release.

There are, however, applications that would benefit from another release=20
(Kopete 0.12 comes to mind, khtml and the PIM suite would probably go as=20
well). They could do releases of their own, though.

So, in the end, I think it's a wait-and-see.

The more people we have on it, the sooner it'll be. If we divert our=20
efforts into KDE 3.6, it'll be longer.
