Just what we needed -- major surgery and additional breakage.

Yep, that was needed. We did the following two things:

- Porting plasma to Qt 4.4 new widgets on canvas support. Previously, it was not possible to use Qt widgets in Plasmoids. Plasma in 4.0 needed its own layout system, and widgets. Now we can use all the gorgeous Qt and KDE widgets. Better integration, much faster development, smaller codebase, and instantly lots of new features.

- API review. This is more a mid-term thing. For the 4.2 timeframe, we would like to merge parts of Plasma into kdelibs. Also, before a wider adoption of the Plasma libs, we wanted to make sure that the API is intuitive to use and well designed. The changes necessary to make it a nice, consistent and easy to understand interface will definitely pay off long term. Aaron Seigo has just written an interesing blog about that btw.

All that nearly in time for an "Alpha1". In fact, both, the WoC porting and the API changes are in by now. That's where we can get back to stabilising. Not a surprising strategy WRT to release plans. That said, the current state of things feels very good, at least on my box, and starting in May there are a solid two months to stabilise everything even further.

Is that really the most constructive thing you can say? It's almost like you're being paid by MS to try to stir up trouble or something.
