KDE 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."

KDE 4.0 will not be released until summer 2008.

That's a losing bet. A better prediction would be whether or not a KDE4 release makes it into the spring 2008 distributions such as Kubuntu Hardy Heron or Fedora 9 by default.

Kubuntu HH is a long term support release, so KDE 4 is not planned to be the default desktop on the grounds that it is not expected to be sufficiently mature. Kubuntu HH users will of course be able to get KDE 4 applications I'm sure.

We'll see. It's just a feeling that I have. We can revisit the issue next June or whenever they actually release.
