Hiya,
Based on the feedback that I received I would like to propose the following
adjusted schedule for KDE 2.2.
The first event is planned for April 9th when we start a short temporary
freeze to deliver KDE 2.2Alpha1. It has been named 'Alpha' instead of 'Beta'
to indicate that this is still pretty much a work in progress. This release
is important because it allows us to collect valuable feedback on new
technologies in KDE such as IMAP, IPv6 and the new printing framework.
The web-version of this proposal can be found on
http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-2.2-release-plan.html
------
The following is the outline for our KDE 2.2 release schedule.
The 2.2 release, unlike the 2.1.1 release, will come with new functionality
and improvements in many areas of KDE.
We aim for the following improvements among others:
Better printing framework
IMAP support in kmail
Improved database support with kdedb
All dates given here are subject to revision, but we will try out best to
stick to them if possible.
Waldo Bastian is acting as release coordinator for the 2.2 releases.
KOffice 1.1 will be released independent from KDE 2.2. The KOffice 1.1
release schedule can be found on
http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/koffice-1.1-release-plan.html
