Is this "lack of polish" made up of regressions from 3.5.12, or was the same "lack of polish" present in 3.5.12 as well? If the former, then I need to look into it, if the latter, then the release should go ahead as scheduled.
There are some bugs I noticed but I have only compared with KDE 3.5.10. Jabber support in Kopete hasn't been working for me and I've noticed some bugs with KRandR that I need to better understand before filling a bug report. KNetworkManager also needs some bug fixing but it is actually working so that depends on the goals of the project for each release and, as you say, 3.5.12 doesn't compile on current distros, which is very bad.
What's next, 3.5.14 or 3.6?
Best regards, Tiago
3.5.14 will be next. 3.6.0 should in theory follow that, but it will depend on community support for getting the bugs fixed.
I would appreciate bug reports for any regressions from KDE 3.5.10. Also, knetworkmanager will be going away unless someone steps up to rewrite it for the completely changed NM 0.9 API.
