Hello,
As usual I tested beta/rc builds during the 4.5 development cycle, however at least on my laptop even 4.5-rc3 has many bugy which annoy me and it doesn't look like 4.5 final will be any better.
Is there a way back to 4.4.5?
Thank you in advance, Clemens

Hi, any bugreports - it won't be better without them!
You have to remove the new KDE, disable kde-unstable and reinstall kde-desktop group.

Hi Jaroslav,
any bugreports - it won't be better without them!
I participiated in beta-testing for 4.3, 4.4 and now 4.5. The reason I won't test anymore is I don't feel I make any difference. The 2 months between beta1 and release are simply to short and there are not enough developers to even look at the report-flood coming in.
4.5.0 will be quite broken, but will be released on 4th of August on time. I can't decide what to think about that.

OK, can you at least give us a hint to what the "flood" of issues are that you are alluding to?
Mostly out of curiosity and grave concern, I've personally found 4.4.95 to be absolutely fabulous, and genuinely want to make sure 4.5.0 is at least close to the same for everyone else. I (we all here) can't help make that happen if we don't know where to look for the warts.

Yes, it's going to be really great release - at least - KRunner is again usable as aseigo promised ;-) But I have found a few (really a few) issues, I should look to bz now.

Hi Rex,

I have 38 open bugs, many filed against KDE-4.5 during its stabilization cycle. There are crashers including full stack-traces filed against beta1/2 nobody has even looked until now.
Another example is bug 232054, a rather annoying regression in Strigi affecting Dolphin. It was reported against 4.4.69 (so even before beta1), still the fix won't make it into 4.5.0 - if all goes *well* it'll be in 4.5.1. I really wish the stabilization phase would be 4 instead of just 2 months.
Please don't get me wrong - I like KDE and I am most of the time a really happy user most of the time. I just don't think I can make a difference by beta-testing.

Well, you're certainly making a difference by testing and reporting the issues / bug you are experimenting upstream. Talking from my personal experience, KDE 4.5 is mature and ready to be released.
KDE SIG members : I'm proposing to organize a Bugzapping day for everything related to KDE SC in RHBZ, i'll be glad to participate if i can in due time.
