The start of the release is now planned for 25 October 1999 (1 week from now). * If you are working on something which needs to be included in KRASH please contact me (bastian@kde.org) and let me know how long you think you will still need for it (Even if you think it will be finished before the 25th!) GOAL OF THE KRASH (1.89) RELEASE ================================ * Stabilize development. * Offer third party developers a convenient way to become familair with Qt2.x / KDE 2.x REMARKS ======= KRASH will be alpha quality software. It is not recommended to use KRASH for daily work. Although the API of KRASH should be relatively stable, CHANGES will be made to it before the final KDE 2.0 release. It is not recommended to release applications based on this release. Distributors should NOT SHIP this release without providing a stable and complete version of KDE as well. CURRENT STATE ============= 1. Determine what has to be done before 1.89 can be released. NEXT MILESTONE ============== 2. Feature freeze kdelibs in _1 WEEK_ from now. (25-10-99) CONTENTS OF THE RELEASE ======================== The following packages will be included in KRASH: * kdelibs * kdebase * koffice RELEASE SCHEDULE 1.89 ===================== 1.
