Hi everybody, as mentioned in this forum post: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=91849&p=182270#p182269 we also have some not-so technical things we need to do for a release, which I would like to delegate.
The following facts should be in the announcement. - the gcc version 4 compiler from mingw.org (mingw4) will be replaced by mingw-w32 (the gcc version 4 compiler from http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/) in the next release, so this is probably the last release with it. Similar is the process for vc90 (Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition) to vc100 (Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition). In the current release, all 4 compilers are contained. - we tried out a distributed release process, where multiple persons can take part and fix the builds. This looks promising, and since KDE 4.6.0 is near (released in the beginning of next year) we will probably go that way too. - contained in KDE 4.5.4 are kdebase (apps and workspace), kdeedu, kdegames, kdegraphics, kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, kdesdk, kdetoys, kdeutils, amarok, digikam & kipi-plugins, kmymoney, konversation and quassel. - the stability is still not at a level where day-to-day use can be recommended, some programs might just work though. The release announcements are normally written inside of the file news.rdf. This file is in KDE svn, you can checkout svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/www/sites/windows to get the complete sources (and also to produce a valid diff at the end which I can commit). awaiting your comments, Patrick _______________________________________________ Kde-windows mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-windows
