The KDE project announces the availability of the third development snapshot of the upcoming KDE 4. This snapshot is meant as a reference for developers who want to play with parts of the new technology KDE 4 will provide, those who want to start porting their applications to the new KDE 4 platform and for those that want to start to develop applications based on KDE 4. This snapshot is not for end users, there is no guarantee that it will be stable, the interfaces are subject to changes at any time.

I think it means that the "Krash" snapshot came with the, then following, list of milestones.
So from the API and infrastructure point of view the highlights of "Kludge" are Sonnet and Solid.
In case of API it should be understood that this is mainly about the code that makes the API presentable towards applications, work on the internals, e.g. Phonon backends, might still be done in separate branches and not included in this snapshot.
The idea about those developer snapshots is to have it working as far as the application develop is concerned, not necessarily as far as a user of such an application would be concerned.

I'm anxious to try it, but I'm afraid that even though I know otherwise, the sheer unfinishedness would put me off at this early stage.
I guess I'll wait 'til the next test, or preferably the Beta, especially since they haven't got Phonon and Oxygen in place.
At least that's how I read the rather confusing announcement... "While "Krash" marked the milestones initial Qt4 port, the use of DBus as inter-process-communication system, the merge of Phonon as the multimedia framework and CMake, KDE's new buildsystem. doesn't seem to be a complete thought.
