Two people responded in the last week to requests for documentation. Erinn Looney-Triggs contributed tips to kgpg, responding to Aaron's tutorial. Gerry Gavigan did proof-reading and corrections for Tobias Koenig's HOWTO-programming-with-libkabc. Thank-you for your contributions.

Maks Orlovich committed the beginnings of a new accessibility style, with a comment in the commit log saying "no, this is not meant to be pretty". I asked him what the goals were for the style, and he responded:

In preparation for the release, two applications were moved from kdenonbeta into the kde distribution. KPdf is a KDE PDF viewer based on XPDF. KSVG is an implementation of the World Wide Web Consortium's Scalable Vector Graphics recommendation. It is designed to be a plugin for the Konqueror web browser. Both are now in kdegraphics. Thememgr, a KControl module for importing and selecting themes, was moved to kdenonbeta, out of the distribution.

The first stage of the release process is a freeze on new features. Anything not in the 3.2 Feature Plan doesn't go in. Some features that were expected in 3.2 have been moved to the 3.3 Feature Plan. These two documents tell us that there is much work to be done for the release, and some wanted features won't make it in this time.

CVS HEAD has gotten back to a reasonably stable state. On Sept 11, kdebase, kdebindings and kdegraphics didn't build. The other modules built as expected. The commit logs were full of compile fixes this week, so the situation will improve. The applications are reasonably stable. If you are using konqueror from the alpha, you will notice a bug with the <strong> tag.
