Session support was "almost" re-implemented. We got an annoying
kdev_starter utility. I remember at least one feature for the project
managers being done in that time. Complete reordering of menus (yes
thats a feature too). Rewrite of source formatter, not exactly a feature
but also too big to be considered just a bugfix for a crash.

So the feature freeze mostly means: No big changes anymore, nothing that
can easily break whole components of kdevelop. Really concentrate on
getting those 1xx bugs filed against the kdev4 version already down.

Just a bit of a cold, don't worry :) But too tired to hack on sth. for
more than 30 minutes...
