Release delayed
Just in case you guys don't actually get your KDE news by reading OSNews or the mailing lists, the KDE 4.0.0 tagging date has been pushed back somewhat. I'll quote Allen's email fully:
Howdy,

We, The Release Team, hereby announce that we are extending the
KDE 4.0.0 schedule [1] 2 months by inserting an extra 2 Betas, as follows:

September 24: Beta3
October 22: Beta4
November 19: Total Release Freeze
November 21: RC1
December 5: RC2
December 20: 4.0.0 tagged

We feel that there are crucial elements of the release that need more
development time.  The feature freeze (less exemptions) remains in effect.

As usual, the dates are estimates and are subject to change.

-Allen, KDEPIM Release Dude

This news should really belong on the dot in some form.

Cheers folks, and I'm enjoying my 'KDE sabbatical' :)

This schedule is not final yet, it will probably change shortly.

Does this mean KDE4 can be pushed back by more months?

This is good news. Better to have a full release, than a crippled release.

feature-wise it is still "crippled" as they feature-freeze is already in place. 2 more months to solve bugs - nothing more.

Shouldn´t beta 2 be already out? I think it should at least according to the release schedule...

It is tagged in SVN. See http://websvn.kde.org/tags/KDE/

That is when the tag occurs in SVN, and you can grab the source. Often the "release" of when packages are made available by the various distros is about 1 week later.
