Howdy, We, The Release Team, hereby announce that we are extending the KDE 4.0.0 schedule [1] 2 months by inserting an extra 2 Betas, as follows: September 24: Beta3 October 22: Beta4 November 19: Total Release Freeze November 21: RC1 December 5: RC2 December 20: 4.0.0 tagged We feel that there are crucial elements of the release that need more development time. The feature freeze (less exemptions) remains in effect. As usual, the dates are estimates and are subject to change. -Allen, KDEPIM Release Dude [1] http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Schedule [2] http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Roadmap
