KDE 4.0.0
has been released onto the world.
"The KDE Community is thrilled to announce the immediate availability of KDE 4.0. This significant release marks both the end of the long and intensive development cycle leading up to KDE 4.0 and the beginning of the KDE 4 era." KDE 4.0 is the first release of "KDE 4", but take note that the developers have clearly stated that KDE 4.0 is
not KDE 4, but more of a base release with all the underlying systems ready to go, but with still a lot of work to be done on the user-visible side. Download it from the
KDE 4.0 info page.
Update: Screenshots.

No matter what the developers intended this to be, there will be detractors who are only concerned with what they wanted it to be, that their vision (and there are thousands) wasn't met. Here's hoping the developers aren't easily discouraged and go on to turn it into a great series, I think you already have to be a pretty thick hide to develop free-software.
