Howdy Guys,
Few Weeks ago i wrote that i’ve got a job offer in Kuala Lumpur,
I got this Job now and unfortunately now I need now to reorder my
life a bit. So first step is now to step down from KDE, Gecko
and vbox teams. I am not really happy about this step but sometimes
priorities goes to new state and we have to reorder something.
I’ll spend my time more to portmgr stuff, mentoring fresh
Blood, Gnats cleanup’s and committing any good stuff. I’d like
to say many thanks for all the nice time in these teams 
.
- Martin

Well, almost. With such an original quote I announce that Qt 4.7 and KDE 4.5 (both tagged Beta 1) are now default in our beloved area51, making it the coolest Subversion repository on the net. While Qt has undergone a first round of tests and can now build successfully (but it’s still work in progress), [...]

If you’re thinking about helping us, you’re welcome. And you can follow the instructions below. Head to http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/KDE4/QT4 and have some [...]

Howdy,
The official release notes for this release can be found at
here . KDE 4.3.5 the last bugfix release in 4.3.x series.
It was not planned to have KDE 4.3.5 in our Ports Tree,
because we, the FreeBSD KDE Team spend all our energy to port
KDE 4.4 release. But we thought it would be good to have it
in out FreeBSD 7.3 release.
We’d like to say thanks to all helpers and submitters.

I am pleased to announce my latest mentee, Alberto Villa. Alberto has been a dedicated contributor with the FreeBSD KDE team, and it was finally time to punish him with a ports commit bit.
Martin Wilke will be Alberto’s co-mentor in this little adventure!
Congratulations Alberto!
Dima “Red Fox” Panov, aka fluffy@ has been a dedicated contributor to the FreeBSD KDE team, and his hard work has paid off, miwi@ and I have cast him loose to collect pointy hats on his own.
It has been a pleasure being your mentor, Dima, good look, and may your INDEX breakages be elusive

FreeBSD ports tree. KDE-4.3.4 is only a Bugfix release.
A full changelog is available here.

opened.
I’ve taken the night and updated python to 2.6.4.
Also as i wrote, I am back to the KDE game,

So beat@ did the Gecko job more or less alone . So I thought
it’s a good idea to help a bit the KDE Team.. I’ve started with
a rework of the area51 repo. We splitted now Qt and KDE into
2 seperated repo’s. Makes the life a bit easier in future.
Also I rewrote the build system [...]
Nokia announced the release of Qt 4.5.3 today. It is a bug release version leading up to 4.6.0.
I updated area51 branches/qt-4.5 to 4.5.3. It is not quite ready for general use at this time. Contributors are welcome to check it out and provide patches as needed to make it build.
On a related note, KDE 4.3.2 will be tagged soon, so we need to decide what version of Qt to run with, feedback to kde-freebsd@kde.org is appreciated
