<span class="postbody">详细版:<br><br>KDE 4.0 Roadmap
<br>
===============
<br>
<br>
Milestone: Subsystem Freeze
<br>
Date: 1 April 2007
<br>
Goals:
<br>
* From this date forward, no major KDE subsystem can be committed to kdelibs.
<br>
* The location of all classes are fixed within kdelibs
<br>
* Trunk is expected to contain KDE4 code only now. This effectively means
<br>
that all scripts processing translations for KDE3 in trunk will cease.
<br>
* Extragear applications that want to release based on KDE3 are expected
<br>
to move to /branches/stable and work from there.
<br>
* The buildsystem requirements are fixed; i.e, must not require a
<br>
version of cmake greater than 2.4.5.
<br>
<br>
Milestone: Alpha Release + kdelibs soft API Freeze
<br>
Date: 1 May 2007
<br>
Goals:
<br>
* Qt 4.3 is required from here until release.
<br>
* The kdelibs API is frozen. This means that the classes and interfaces are
<br>
not allowed to change, except with permission of the core developers.
<br>
* To make an API change, post a kdelibs API exception request to the
<br>
kde-core-devel mailinglist with an explanation and the code. If there
<br>
are no objections after a week, the change can be committed.
<br>
NOTE: all affected modules must continue to compile and work as expected.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Milestone: Feature Freeze
<br>
Date: 1 June 2007
<br>
Goals:
<br>
* The KDE main modules are frozen for new features.
<br>
* No new features are allowed, the focus is on stabilizing the applications
<br>
and fixing all bugs.
<br>
* The main module maintainers must indicate if they will follow the release
<br>
schedule or will divert and not be released together with KDE 4.0.
<br>
<br>
Milestone: Beta Cycle, Full kdelibs API Freeze
<br>
Start: 25 June 2007 End: 24 September 2007 Duration: 3 months (estimated)
<br>
Goals:
<br>
* From this date forward, a Beta Version will be published every month
<br>
until most grave bugs are resolved.
<br>
* The kdelibs API is now frozen solid.
<br>
* Translations are included starting with the second Beta, thus beginning
<br>
a string freeze. Exceptions can be requested on the kde-i18n mailinglist.
<br>
<br>
Milestone: Release Candidate Cycle
<br>
Start: 25 September 2007 End: 22 October 2007 Duration: 4 weeks (estimated)
<br>
Goals:
<br>
* From this date forward, a Release Candidate will be released every
<br>
two weeks until *all* grave bugs are resolved.
<br>
* After the first Release Candidate there is a total release freeze.
<br>
This means only regressions (breakage caused due to the KDE4 port)
<br>
or grave bugs can be fixed, but nothing else.
<br>
* With the first Release Candidate, a list of languages which will be
<br>
included with the KDE 4.0 release will be made available, based on the
<br>
usual rules.
<br>
<br>
Milestone: KDE 4.0 Released
<br>
Date: 23 October 2007
<br>
Goals:
<br>
* This date is based on an estimated 3 Beta's and 2 Release Candidates.</span>
