According to our friends at Phoronix, KDE 4.0 has been delayed until December 20th, making it two months late. Of course, it is much more sensible to deliver the product once it’s deemed stable. Delaying by two months will allow two additional beta releases, to make sure as many bugs are squashed as possible. Being a die hard KDE user myself, I’m anticipating the new release greatly. Four more months isn’t so bad, is it?
KDE 4.0 Beta 3 is now scheduled for release on September 24 while the fourth beta will come out on October 22. There are two release candidates as well — KDE 4.0 RC1 on November 21 and KDE 4.0 RC2 on December 5. The new release schedule can be found at KDE.org.
