It's ready to go when 3.1 is released. The changelog is already on the KDE= =20 website, so there's little point repeating it here :) None of the features listed are known to be in a non-working state on FreeB= SD. =20 This time round, we've done extensive testing on -CURRENT as well as =20 Some of the Safari code is already in, more being added almost by the minut= e. =20 Don't expect to see that in 3.1 though, most of it will probably be in KDE= =20 3.1.1 rather than 3.1 (a month to 6 weeks after a major release, we usuall= y=20 make a bugfix only release, this time there will be a few feature=20 improvements plugged in, notably these.) These are changes made in a very= =20 different environment, rushing them in and not testing wouldn't be a great= =20 idea, but=20 The Kolab server (Exchange Server replacement) is a standalone, not part of= =20 KDE proper, and is definitely high on the list for getting into ports, it i= s=20 however, still a work in progress, and I personally would prefer to wait=20 until it's not quite such a moving target. It's going to take quite some=20 environment to test it, it's pretty hard to know if a groupware server is=20 working right without setting up a workgroup and using it, so that takes=20 time. The client side groupware stuff is nearly there, sharing calendars i= s=20 perfect, and I can tell you that the the development versions for 3.2 are=20 supporting imap, and disconnected imap, sieve, ldap, and much more. You ca= n=20 read about all that stuff on KDE's own sites but it's really coming along=20 amazingly nicely if you're in need of groupware stuff. =20 Once KDE 3.1 is out the door, we'll turn the package building cluster back = to=20 doing CVS builds, and you're welcome to help test them, drop by the IRC=20 channel or on the mailing list, or keep an eye on our website (in my sig.)
