Hi,

The release team has decided that KDE 4.4.0 will depend on Qt 4.6. To give developers \
the time to work with Qt 4.6, we have decided that from Saturday October 10th* trunk \
will start depending on Qt 4.6. Everyone need to update the coming two weeks to that \
version of Qt. Thiago recommends to use the following git repository:  
if you want to help Qt development and fix the issues found before the 4.6.0 release, \
the unpatched branch is recommended:  qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt branch 4.6-stable
 
if you want to do KDE development, the 4.6-stable-patched would be recommended,   \
This contains the kde patches and will trail behind 4.6-stable, so you may need to \
merge 4.6-stable yourself if you need the latest fixes:  qt.gitorious.org/qt/kde-qt \
branch 4.6-stable-patched  
**Release Schedule Change**
The expected release dates of Qt's RC and the final release currently clash with \
KDE's release schedule. Therefore we have decided to shift the KDE release by two \
weeks.   
This will give us approx. 2 weeks between Qt's RC and KDE's beta 1 and 2 weeks \
between the expected Qt final release and the start of our release candidate cycle. \
Of course we are not sure that Qt will release at those times, but with the former \
schedule it was to close to eachother. Qt will let the release team know if the \
schedule changes and we'll decide what to do at that moment.  
The complete release schedule for KDE 4.4.0 now looks like this:
     * 1.0 October 10th, 2009: Trunk depends on Qt 4.6
     * 1.1 November 4th, 2009: Soft Feature Freeze
     * 1.2 November 25th, 2009: Hard Feature Freeze
     * 1.3 November 25th, 2009: Message Freeze.
     * 1.4 November 25th, 2009: Tag KDE 4.4 Beta 1
     * 1.5 December 1st, 2009: Release KDE 4.4 Beta 1
     * 1.6 December 1st, 2009: Documentation/Handbook Freeze
     * 1.7 December 16nd, 2009: Tag KDE 4.4 Beta 2
     * 1.8 December 22th, 2009: Release KDE 4.4 Beta 2
     * 1.9 Januari 5th, 2010: Artwork and Bindings Freeze
     * 1.10 January 5th, 2010: Tag KDE 4.4 RC 1
