Hi -ports! Here's some comprehensive information on the KDE 2.0 beta release schedule. This is just a FYI for those interested. :-) Looks like it'll be some time before KDE2 will replace KDE 1.x. ----- Forwarded message from Kurt Granroth <granroth@kde.org> ----- Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2000 10:44:46 -0700 From: Kurt Granroth <granroth@kde.org> To: KDE Core Developer List <kde-core-devel@kde.org>, KDE Developer List <kde-devel@kde.org> Subject: Release Schedule: 1.91 (Kleopatra) X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0i Sender: kde-devel-admin@max.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de Resent-From: kde-devel@max.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de X-Mailing-List: <kde-devel@master.kde.org> Reply-To: kde-devel@max.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de Here's the release schedule for 1.91 (and on). If you have any additions or changes, let me know now. Note that we have promised to ship all major KDE packages with 1.91. Will this be a problem? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- KDE 2.0 Beta Release Schedule v2.0 ================================== This is the tentative schedule for the beta releases leading up to KDE 2.0. Each beta will be released roughly 4 weeks apart. This will give us time to fix all of the bugs reported AND ensure that the final release is as complete and STABLE as possible. The 1.93 and 2.0 release dates are *very* tentative. If it turns out that 1.92 is rock-solid stable and is feature complete, then we might skip 1.93 totally and release 2.0. KDE 1.91 "Kleopatra" -------------------- Hard Freeze : June 06, 2000 (Tuesday) Release Date: June 07, 2000 (Wednesday) Thaw Date : June 08, 2000 (Thursday) Packages: All KDE packages This is the first release that will include all KDE packages. Before this time, each package will need to be evaluated to determine which apps will be included in each package. At this point, the libraries are COMPLETELY frozen for binary compatibility. The only way a binary incompatible change will be accepted is if all of the following are kept: 1) KDE will NOT run without the change 2) The change absolutely cannot be made binary compatible even with really really ugly hacks like static global vars and the like 3) NO core developers object to the change. There are two exceptions to the freeze: 1) The entire aRts library 2) The KTextEditor interface KDE 1.92 "Korner" ----------------- Hard Freeze : July 11, 2000 (Tuesday) Release Date: July 12, 2000 (Wednesday) Thaw Date : July 13, 2000 (Thursday) Packages: All KDE packages The text for all packages are now totally frozen. All translations should be completed soon after this. The packages should be built exactly like they will be in the final 2.0 release. That is, they should be installed over KDE 1.x and the kdewizard should be complete in converting KDE 1.x to 2.0. Users should be able to upgrade to 1.95 and never go back to 1.x KDE 1.93 "K?" ------------- August KDE 2.0 "Kopernicus" -------------------- Release date: September Everything will be perfect :-) -- Kurt Granroth | http://www.granroth.org KDE Developer/Evangelist | SuSE Labs Open Source Developer granroth@kde.org | granroth@suse.com KDE -- Putting a Friendly Face on Unix >> Visit http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe << ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
