The KDE Community and the release team have put together a release plan for the long anticipated version 4.0, which is planned to be released in October 2007. KDE 4.0 will likely contain initial versions of all the major subsystems that have been described in recent Dot articles. These 'Pillars' of KDE set the stage for desktop and application growth and maturity over the life of the KDE 4 series.
