KDE 4.0 was planned for release
in time for Christmas, but the KDE community has decided to postpone this much-anticipated release until January. There are still some issues to be worked out with KDE 4.0 when it comes to visual glitches and other areas that do not currently meet KDE's quality standards. Next month is also the
KDE 4.0 release party at Google (which we will be covering), so hopefully there are no further delays. The
KDE 4.0 Release Candidate 1 was released two weeks ago. This delay was mentioned at
KDE News.
