The KDE project has delayed the release of KDE 4.0 by two months. "We, The Release Team, hereby announce that we are extending the KDE 4.0.0 schedule 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."

Interestingly, when I wrote my two editorials on the future of GNOME and KDE, I already predicted that the KDE guys would never be able to release KDE 4.0 in 2007. I was almost crucified for saying it - by people here on OSNews, but also by people within the KDE community.
...
And look where we are now.
As I recall, you were predicting it would be 4Q 2008, with a decent chance of slipping into 2009, which is quite a bit later than the delayed Dec. 2007 launch. Still, your date is probably close to when 4.1 will come out and everything will be finished up, as it sounds like 4.0 is going to be without quite a bit of stuff.
