Check out svn.kde.org:/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kdesdk .
Actually the 3.5 branch of umbrello is more current than the main trunk which,
as you noticed, now hosts the KDE4 port.

Wow.
Well, NOW is the right time for testing - so that we can get things sorted out 
before the umbrello 1.5 release together with KDE 3.5 (some time in October.)

The biggest change is that the "type" attribute in <UML:Attribute> used to
contain the plain text of the attribute type and now it contains the xmi.id of
the corresponding XMI element of the type. Similarly for <UML:Parameter>.
