This Week...
Beginnings of Subversion support in Cervisia. Cleanup of initial application sizing. KDevelop adds QT Designer support for Python. IDN issues fixed in Konqueror. DigiKam adds more plugins: Insert Text, Channel Mixer, Infrared, Blur, Distortion, and a new ratio crop tool. KMail adds an account setup wizard.

The last minute touches were applied to the KDE 3.4 release this week. Notice all the bugs that were backported. Other enhancements were default application sizes and Solaris build fixes. We will see a release on the 16th (3.4 Release Plan).

Stephan Kulow announced on Friday the 4th:
I just reviewed the backport commits and moved for most of them the release tag. From now on feel free to backport into the BRANCH on your decision. KDE 3.4.0 is done: Every commit in the branch will improve 3.4.1 though.

One last thing: This list is no replacement for kde-i18n-doc. Translation team leaders _have_ to read that list too, there is no way around that.
