<div>First of all, for a newcomer, let me say the version numbering of
KDevelop is really confusing !</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Kdevelop 3.2* was released along with KDE 3.4.</div>
<div>KDevelop 3.3* (currently 3.2.92) is to be relased along with
KDE3.5.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Should I conclude that KDevelop 3.4 you are speaking about,
Amilcar, is to be released allong with KDE... 3.6 ?</div>
<div>Well, never heard of a future KDE 3.6...</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Basically, these differences in numbering are confusing.</div>
<div>It seems that KDevelop is the only K-Project that has such a
specific version numbering (see
http://www.kde.org/info/3.4.3.php).</div>
<div>I guess that there are hsitorical reasons for that, but it would
be nice for us, users, downloaders, installers, etc, if it could be
fixed one day.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Now, concerning your question Amilcar, I would assume that a
large number of Kdevelop users often wanna upgrade their KDevelop
without upgrading KDE (at least I do often !).</div>
<div>Consequently, there is a need to use an older KDE API.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If KDevelop 3.4 is to be released with "KDE 3.6", which
AFAIK is not planned, then I would say, as a user, that using KDE 3.4
would be ok, since it was first released in March 2005.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>A question, however : is KDE 3.* libs really 'upward compatible'
?</div>
<div>I mean : I have installed, for example, KDE 3.3*, and KDE 3.5*..
and it would be a mess if I could not compile KDE 3.4 because I don't
have KDE 3.4* !</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Wish these viewpoints could be of any help !</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>I think targetting KDE-3.4 should be
fine. By then KDE-3.4 should be pretty well deployed and it also
reduces the "comptibility confusion" of KDevelop. (KDE-3.4 -
KDevelop-3.4)<br>
<br>
Of course, if someone wants to "backport" incompatible
changes to remain compatible with KDE-3.2 I think we should accept
those patches.<br>
