ANNOUNCE: New KDevelop Design

[Massimo Morin]

Hi,
there is already a branch, why not using/working on that???
BTW, from the change log:
29 September 1999 - added plugins & patches section. 

wasn't that what you were referring to???

I think that kdevelop team has adopted the linux-developing model: a
stable release (the 1.0 branch that contain mainly fixes and from which
the betas are coming (.. so I hope ;) ) and a "work in progress one" (
the current main branch).

>From my humble point of view, another branch is worse than a new IDE if
there is no merge: that will create confusion (Kdevelop-offial (version
1 and 2), KDEvelop-improved..and others......)

Dunno, but any comments from the kdevelop team??
Walter, Jonas are you there??

Cheers
