Re: KDE 3.5.8

It's been a while since KDE 3.5.7 (released may 22nd) and a lot has changed in the 3.5 branch since then, so I would like to release another service pack. As the translators requested some clean up time, I suggest we go with October 7th as tagging date and release on 15th. Any objections? If not, I let everyone know :) As a matter of saying i agree i created the changelog page up to r715588 http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog3_5_7to3_5_8.php Albert P.S: We should hide it in few time or pages will start linking to it saying 3.5.8 is out, though.

Tagging beta 3.
Hi, In an effort to see how things look just before the tagging (beta 3 is planned to be tagged the 26th), I checked out and build KDE4. I just wanted to let you know that currently there is no panel and no start menu. That means everything has to be done by krunner. A lot of plasma applets I tried made plasma crash and alt-tab was barely usable. I know kde4 is about much more that plasma, but the user experience is currently not very good. In my opinion it would be a mistake to tag KDE in this state. And I'm almost crying when I say this. Best, Toma___ release-team mailing list release-team@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
Re: Tagging beta 3.
Hello; I just wanted to let you know that currently there is no panel and no start menu. That means everything has to be done by krunner. A lot of plasma applets I tried made plasma crash and alt-tab was barely usable. I know kde4 is about much more that plasma, but the user experience is currently not very good. In my opinion it would be a mistake to tag KDE in this state. And I'm almost crying when I say this. Yes I agree with you, for next beta having a menu to launch other KDE4 applications is a must have. And about KDE4 is much more that plasma, it's also the only thing an user might be able to test if he doesn't have the sense to right-click on the desktop. My first attempt to run KDE4 desktop was with last beta, and at first I couldn't find how to launch application, so I just played with a few applets and that's all. Last week I tried again (with my own build), that's only then I found out that right click on the desktop allows me to run an application (I know that's also the case in KDE3, but I never use kdesktop's popup menu). So, I wonder how many people try KDE4's beta and didn't know how to launch applications, and just played with plasma (and probably found it nice), and so couldn't even try other applications (which is a shame as quiet a few are nearly ready, I am thinking kdegames and kdeedu). -- Cyrille Berger ___ release-team mailing list release-team@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
Goals for the beta release.
Hi, As discussed in a thread last week, here is an overview of goals for the beta cycle: http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Beta_Goals As soon as all is green we can continue to the release candidate cycle. I will update the page as soon as I receive the info from the remaining projects. Toma___ release-team mailing list release-team@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
Another item to add to your list perhaps?
Hey guys, perhaps this should go on your list at http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Beta_Goals KWin Composite has performance issues (big ones) on hardware where other 3D compositing programs run perfectly smoothly. Perhaps we just need to optimize for some hardware or something, and it's not a showstopper (since composite can be disabled), but it will ruin a lot of first impressions of KWin 4 in it's current state.

Speaking about kwin: Not necessarily for the beta-goals, but for the final release somebody should sit down and fix the xinerama issues in kwin as well. I'm rather astonished that xinerama is basically completely broken, because I was under the impression that the standard kwin code didn't change that much (i.e. the non-compositing stuff)...
