KDE The release of KDE 4.0 was not a smooth one, and left a number of users a bit disgruntled. Still, the release showed so much potential that it was oozing out of every pixel. KDE 4.1 improved significantly in many areas of concern, but it wasn't yet ready for everyone. With today's release of KDE 4.2, the KDE4 vision is ready to face not only developers and enthusiasts, but every users. We have taken a look at the release candidate for KDE 4.2, and we have a short interview with KDE's Aaron Seigo.

Now we are at GMOME release 2.24. Twenty four releases later. Twenty four releases in seven years ... an average of over three per year. That is "releasing often", is it not?


Actually, afaik GNOME follows the old numbering convention that odd numbers signify development versions and even numbers release versions. Therefore GNOME released 13 versions since and including 2.0 and uses a rather strict 6 months release interval.
"

OK, that sounds quite likely to be the case, because a 6 month release cycle makes a lot more sense than 3 months. A release every 6 months is still very much a case of "release often".
