KDE 3.5 is about to be finished, so we prepared a first release candidate. We want to have it tested as much as possible, so please test if possible.

This release identifies itself in allmost all places already as version 3.5 and so do the tarballs file names.

You can download the release candidate sources from download.kde.org at
http://download.kde.org/unstable/3.5-rc1/src

You can also use Konstruct to help you building the RC1 from sources. Get it
from http://developer.kde.org/build/konstruct/

Because of the short timeframe for the release candidates we don't giv
e the distributors a head start of one week for binary packages. Binary packages appear at http://download.kde.org/unstable/3.5-rc1 - so far Novell/SUSE has provided some and Kubuntu will add theirs during the weekend.
