    I've shortly looked at it, and don't see any easy fix for me, so I've decided
    to go ahead and release RC2 as is.

    Many thanks to all who helped in the last days to get this into a compiling
    state!

      Hmmmm -- csharp. Am I thinking correctly that this is only affecting the Gnome users?

      Thanks Rog!

        I so surely hope. I'd like to know what app that is C# is having difficulties with.

          Is the C# with the KDE more than an option (at the moment) ? Are there applications ?

          > Development/Languages/Qyoto
          Qyoto makes it possible to develop Qt and KDE applications using C#, or any other .NET language. Qyoto uses SMOKE, and offers access to almost all Qt and KDE classes.

                Hi,

                I want to make sure that we announce on the 9th during the early day - I'll be
                mostly offline on the 10th and 11th unfortunately. Is that the common
                understanding for everybody?

                I'll be available by phone, and will hopefully pass all the important tasks to
                somebody else who is available.


                Currently, the schedule doesn't have a RC3 planned. Should I add one
                inbetween? I would suggest somewhen end of this week/beginning next week, just
                to ensure that we're shipping a somewhat stable release.


                Thanks,
                Dirk

                Hi,

                The release team has decided to insert an additional Release Candidate before the
                final 4.4.0. This release candidate will be tagged next thursday (28th) and will be
                released as soon as the tarballs are confirmed to be ok, ideally the same day.

                The extra RC is added due to the struggle we had with the RC2 tarballs. We want to
                make sure everything is ok now, so the 4.4.0 release will not be delayed by similar
                issues. Please double check all your commits into the 4.4 branch, to make sure they
                are safe, compile and do not cause trouble for the kde-bindings people or other
                platforms than the one you are on.

                The tagging of 4.4.0 is not delayed due to this extra RC and is still planned for feb
                3rd, with the release on Feb 9th.

                Best,

                Toma

                  Hi,

                  I just finished uploading RC3 to unstable/4.4.98. Release is hopefully, when
                  somebody confirms that it all compiles, tomorrow.

                          I've created an initial KDE 4.4.0 tag from branches/KDE/4.4 and will start to
                          sort out the l10n-kde4 stuff now.

                          Meanwhile there are tagged KDE 4.4.0 blockers:

                          https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?key...-4.4.0-blocker


                          It looks like bug 191589 is something that we should get fixed for KDE 4.4.0,
                          any opinion about the others?

                          Thanks,

                          I've just finished uploading the first set of 4.4.0 tarballs. Please use the
                          kde-4.4.0-blocker keyword in bugzilla and cc me on commits that should end up

                          Planned release is Tuesday next week.

                            Noooooooooooo. Please, DON'T. Why are we following the same sad path as GNOME? Anyone knows of any channel to advocate againt this before it is too late?

                            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_(programming_language)#Criticism
                            Criticism

                            Although the C# language definition and the CLI are standardized under ISO and Ecma standards which provide reasonable and non-discriminatory licensing protection from patent claims, Microsoft uses C# and the CLI in its Base Class Library (BCL) which is the foundation of its proprietary .NET framework, and which provides a variety of non-standardized classes (extended I/O, GUI, web services, etc). Some cases where Microsoft patents apply to standards used in the .NET framework are documented by Microsoft and the applicable patents are available on either RAND terms or through Microsoft's Open Specification Promise which releases patent rights to the public,[22] but there is some concern and debate as to whether there are additional aspects patented by Microsoft which are not covered, which may deter independent implementations of the full framework. Microsoft has also agreed not to sue open source developers for violating patents in non-profit projects for the part of the framework which is covered by the OSP.[23] Microsoft has agreed not to enforce patents relating to Novell products against Novell's paying customers[24] with the exception of a list of products that do not explicitly mention C#, .NET or Novell's implementation of .NET (The Mono Project),[25]. However Novell maintains that Mono does not infringe any Microsoft patents.[26] Microsoft has also made a specific agreement not to enforce patent rights related to the Moonlight browser plugin, which depends on Mono, provided it is obtained through Novell.[27]

                            In a note posted on the Free Software Foundation's news website in June 2009, Richard Stallman warned that he believes "Microsoft is probably planning to force all free C# implementations underground some day using software patents" and recommended that developers avoid taking what he described as the "gratuitous risk" associated with "depend[ing] on the free C# implementations".[28]. The Free Software Foundation later reiterated its warnings[29], claiming that the extension of Microsoft Community Promise to the C# and the CLI ECMA specifications[30] would not prevent Microsoft from harming Open-Source implementations of C#, because many specific Windows libraries included with .NET or Mono were not covered by this promise.
