I just added the following to the 4.3 release schedule page on techbase [1] January 21st, 2010: Tag KDE 4.3.5 January 28th, 2010: Release KDE 4.3.5 Dirk, can you also send out an email telling people that this will happen and that 4.3 branch is officially "done" after 21 Jan?

IMHO a 4.3.5 makes sense, at least from the "fixes are good perspective". I've also received requests from the packagers at Redhat who would like to have some more fixes than 4.3.4 provides.

JuK has a crash-on-shutdown fix in branch which could make a 4.3.5 worthwhile for kdemultimedia at least. But on the other hand that fix was put in because of some packagers prodding me so I'd expect that fix to have been picked up downstream anyways. ;) Regards, - Michael Pyne signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ release-team mailing list release-team@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team

Although I'd kind of hate spending time backporting > all the stuff instead of fixing more bugs for 4.4.0... > Understandable. However, bugfix releases are more likely automatically downloaded by distributions, while major KDE releases are not. So providing bugfix releases as long as we can affects quite a lot of people. Hence, backport + another maintenance release is quite welcome (if there are fixed bugs in the branch). ...of course nothing really new, but worth to mention once in a while. That is: developers should be stressed more to backport ;) Dominik ___ release-team mailing list release-team@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team

Correct. > Did devels effectively backport to make it worth a new release? No, but of course it could be done the other way round: announce 4.3.5, then we'll backport.

I can count 64 commits (not much), some of them important enough like fixing a copyright violation in kstars.

4.3.5?
Howdy, I think we should have a 4.3.5 release, and this should be the final release in the 4.3 series. thoughts? of course, this depends on Dirk and the promo team's holiday schedule. We should make a decision either way very soon so folks don't waste their time backporting to the 4.3 branch. -Allen -- Allen Winter | al...@kdab.net | Software Engineer KDAB (USA), LLC, a KDAB Group company Tel.
