Forgive me if I missed something on this thread

from
what I've saw in the most recent SVN releases: isn't it better to

due to what may be a lack of polish that might
drive away users in the
same
way KDE 4 and GNOME have done recently?

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.
