KDE 3.2, To Be Or Not To Be

Posted by timothy on from the must-ipso-facto-philosophically dept.

Richard Moore writes "As you can see from dot.kde.org, issue #53 of Kernel-Cousin KDE has been released, covering only a single topic. The plan for releasing KDE 3.2 is discussed at length, or maybe that should be KDE 4.0 - who knows..."

    Just to clarify, I'm not saying we won't release 3.2. Just that as per coolo's comment (for those who read the article) it may be 4.0 if we find we need to break compatibility to do the job properly. There are a lot of pretty cool things to be discussed at the forthcoming developer's conference and if we decide they should be in the next release (possible but not probable) this may be a good idea. Either way - it got you to read the article, didn't it!

    Just a note Qt/Embedded is GPL too, this is why you'll find a (fully compatible) branch of it on sourceforge developed by some guys who wanted to add some new features of their own.

    I don't understand the conflict here: they have a GPL license and a proprietary one. Sounds like

    maximum freedom

    maximum respect for the community
    Is it the fact that they fell short of agreeing with you totally that upsets you so?
