An Update on Konversation and KDE 4An Update on Konversation and KDE 4

Many of you have been wondering what our plans with regard to KDE 4 are, and since you most certainly deserve a good answer on that one, here's our little official statement. First, let's get the important bits out of the way: Yes, Konversation will be ported to KDE 4.

What's the schedule then, you ask? We currently expect to close the book on Konversation 1.1 in the near future, and deliver it to you lovingly shrink-wrapped in a fetching tarball soon after. Meanwhile, preliminary work on the KDE 4 port has started in the form of prototyping a while ago, and it will switch into high gears when Konversation 1.1 goes into string freeze (the period in which the feature complete codebase undergoes final localization updates for the release).
