Re: KDE2 release schedule update

I'm worried. Kde2 beta has too many bugs. Konqueror crushes even more than two weeks ago,
Kpackage can't install anything etc. I installed
every package of Kde2 since 1.92 release, but unfortunatelly must say that preview release of Nautilus runs more stable than Konqueror. Good luck to Kde developers.

Packages? Which packages, and where did you get them from? What's your system? I would advise you to compile from source before freaking out.

I have used 1.91, 1.93 and now I'm typing this with 1.94 Konqueror and I have to say that the system is getting more and more stable every release.

But I agree that many parts of the system need lots of attention. I hope that the current snapshots are better as the 1.94 I'm using to that respect.

Some specific points regarding 1.94:
- Konqueror handles many Javascript statements wrong, like logging in to Netscape webmail, or even a simple (yes, annoying!) popup window
- Konqueror has many troubles handling CSS properly
- KOffice doesn't seem 'finished' at all to me right now

And I'm not mentioning all minor bugs, because I guess these are already fixed now, or at least they will be when KDE will be released.

I can only hope that this release date is realistic, but I share my fears with you that it might be a little early for that.

- Martijn

I'm one of the neglected Linux/ALPHA users.
I still have to run 1.92 because all later
versions didn't compile (internal compiler
errors) or didn't run (when turning all
compiler optimizations off).
Hope this will be fixed till the release.

Actually - it's already been fixed. Grab the sources from the CVS (or wait for the release) and try it - it works perfectly.

KDE2 runs "quite" fine on my system and is "relatively" stable. However it's not stable enough for a "final" release, IMHO... Does anybody remember KDE 1.0? For me it was worse than KDE1 Beta4 and KDE 1.1 was the first really "finished" version of KDE. until KDE1 and GNOME 1.0 I thought that open source software had honest version numbers but that does not seem to be the case... I fear that we'll have to see "KDE 2.0 final" as KDE2 beta6 and "KDE 2.1" as "KDE 2.0 final"... :-(
It's be better to wait some weeks until releasing "KDE2 final"...
(BTW, kpackage works for me.)
