            Bug ID: 381786
           Summary: Make release 4.8.1
           Product: kmymoney4
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: task
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: ralf.habacker at freenet.de
        Depends on: 379747, 380075
  Target Milestone: ---

In the last year there has been over 30 bugs fixed intended for release 4.8.1
(see
https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&f1=cf_versionfixedin&list_id=1447675&o1=equals&product=kmymoney4&query_format=advanced&resolution=FIXED&v1=4.8.1)
which make me think that it should be time now to make this release. 

Making a stable 4.8 release will help KMyMoney users to benefit from the
ongoing bug fixing and development effort done by the KMymoney developers and
shows users that the KMyMoney community cares about them. 

People may ask why releasing a Qt4 based release while KF5 port is in work. The
answer is that the Qt5/KF5 port in combination with all 3rdparty libraries
required for KMyMoney on Windows are currently not ready for making stable
releases.

Other people may be afraid that changes made for the 4.8.1 release would be
lost for KF5. The anser is that all changes made in the git branch 4.8 has been
recently be merged into the master branch and will be merged in future. They
are immediatly usable by KF5 builds.

While preparing the release I'm also going through the open bug list 

https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?bug_severity=critical&bug_severity=grave&bug_severity=major&bug_severity=crash&bug_severity=normal&bug_severity=minor&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&columnlist=product%2Ccomponent%2Cbug_status%2Cresolution%2Cshort_desc%2Cchangeddate%2Creporter_realname%2Cassigned_to_realname%2Cbug_severity%2Cversion%2Ccf_versionfixedin%2Crep_platform%2Cop_sys&list_id=1447686&order=op_sys%2Creporter_realname%2Cbug_status%2Cpriority%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_id&product=kmymoney4&query_format=advanced

and will check if any of them could be fixed for the Windows build which I'm
mainly caring about. It would be nice if anyone would do similar for linux
related bugs.

Bugs and features identified to be useful for including in this release should
be added as dependency of this bug which makes it able to get an overview what
is open and what not (similar to
https://bugs.kde.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=380136&hide_resolved=1)

<offtopic>KDE phabricator has not been used for this task because it does not
support KDE bugzilla bug dependencies</offtopic>
