Hiya,

This weeks topics:

* Due to some major changes (DCOP/Canossa/Sycoca) which have
been discussed at the KDE-Two meeting the KRASH release has been
delayed with 1 (one) week. 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

with releasing 1.89 kdelibs will be unfrozen and that after 1 month
kdelibs will be feature frozen for 1.90.
