Hi KDE Devs,

Just a reminder of the KDE 4.0 milestones coming soon:

Milestone: Alpha Release + kdelibs soft API Freeze, 1 May 2007 
  The kdelibs API is frozen.
  This means that the classes and interfaces are not allowed to change, 
  except with permission of the core developers.  To make an API change,
  post a kdelibs API exception request to the kde-core-devel mailinglist with
  an explanation and the code. If there are no objections after a week, the
  change can be committed. 
      NOTE: all affected modules must continue to compile and work as expected. 

Milestone: New Application Freeze and Usability+Accessibility Review, 8 May 2007
All applications expected to be released with KDE 4.0 must: 
 + use the new cmake buildsystem 
 + compile with Qt4.3 and kdelibs 4.0. (Using Q3Support and/or kde3support is ok, though not desired) 
 + have a handbook (that at least describes what the application does) 
 + New applications must be committed into kdereview for review 
 + Resurrected applications must be committed back into their KDE main module 
Start Application Usability and Accessibility Review continuing until the start of the Beta Cycle


Regards,
Allen, KDE-PIM Release Dude
