I ask because I submitted many bug reports and most of
them remain open. A
handful are critical if I am to migrate from KDE 3.5.10 to Trinity. If I
had to whittle my list to a few hopefuls for 3.5.13:
293 Kde-config Incorrectly Creates a Profile Folder in the System root
directory
388 KDESU Dialog Box Behavior
393 Incorrect kdesu Behavior When Opening Kate
394 Problems with DCOP After Using kdesu
296 New Trinity Profile Error Messages
335 Konqueror Icon Activation Effect
389 Activation Effects
385 Unmounted removable device icons do not appear on the desktop
303 Safely Unmount does not always remove the icon from the desktop
258 ksmserver: Logout confirmation fadeaway is too slow with older
hardware
Some or all of these bugs might have been resolved without the developer
being aware of a bug report. Building and testing the packages will go far
to help and might be the only way to confirm the bug is resolved. I hope
to attempt building soon, which is why I started this thread, but did not
want to start if development was still in arrears.

Some of the kdesu bugs may have been fixed, but unfortunately no one has
had a chance to work on the others AFAIK. We are after all only human,
with day jobs and other responsibilities to get in our way. ;-)
I have decided to go ahead with the release in the hopes that the
significant improvements may attract more developers, to avoid the project
appearing dead, and to allow us to move to GIT (which may also help
attract more developers). This release is not perfect by any means, but
it is still an improvement overall upon its predecessors.
