No additions or changes to the API as of now! Small bug-fixes can still be applied. Fixes with a possible larger impact should be discussed on kde-core-devel first. * kdebase and koffice are feature frozen. This means that no new features should be added and that we should focus on testing and fixing bugs. * It is being considered to speed up the release with _TWO WEEKS_. This would mean that we release at 1 Dec. instead of 15 Dec. Please let me know if you think this causes problems for you. * KRASH will be based on the Qt snapshot of 9-Nov-1999. Available from ftp://ftp.troll.no/pub/qt/snapshots/qt-2.1.0-snapshot-19991109.tar.gz New features can be added and further extensions to the API of kdelibs can be made _AFTER_ KRASH has been released. 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 ============= 3. kdelibs is fully frozen. No additions or changes to the API are allowed. Small bug-fixes can still be applied. Fixes with a possible larger impact should be discussed on kde-core-devel first. kdebase and koffice are feature frozen. No new features should be added. Please focus on testing and bug-fixing. NEXT MILESTONE ============== 4. Release of 1.89 at 15 Dec. (4 weeks from now) It is being considered to speed this up to _1 Dec 1999_!! (2 weeks from now). CONTENTS OF THE RELEASE ======================== The following packages will be included in KRASH: * kdelibs * kdebase * koffice without katabase and kimageshop RELEASE SCHEDULE 1.89 ===================== 1. When: NOW What: Determine what has to be done API-wise before 1.89 can be released. What: Determine what will be released with 1.89 2. When: 1 Nov '99 What: Feature freeze kdelibs. 3. When: 15 Nov '99 What: Feature freeze kdebase + koffice. 4. When: 15 Dec '99 What: Release of 1.89 (kdelibs + kdebase + koffice only) --- Everything unfrozen THINGS TO SOLVE FOR 1.89 ======================= None. AFTER 1.89 ========== After 1.89 has been released all packages will be unfrozen. Goal is to start with a 1.90 release directly after 1.89. This means that with releasing 1.89 kdelibs will be unfrozen and that after 1 month kdelibs will be feature frozen for 1.90. CHANGES TO THE RELEASE SCHEDULE =============================== If you foresee problems with the above schedule, have additions or have questions about the schedule, please contact Waldo Bastian (bastian@kde.org). Changes made to release schedule will be announced on the KDE development mailinglists. Once a week the status of the release will be posted to the KDE development mailinglists. ------------------------------------------------------- --=_ORCL_10961362_0_0--
