[bt-devel] Release Schedule: 1.91 (Kleopatra)

[Kurt Granroth]

Here's the official release schedule for KDE2 and it's BETA versions.

--Joachim


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 :-)
