<div>Add your features to [[Schedules/KDE4/4.10 Feature Plan]]<br />
<br />
All deadlines are due 23:59 UTC, but if you need a few more hours, notify someone from the release team. <br />
<br />
You can also add http://www.kde.org/releaseschedule.ics as remote calendar to korganizer so you always have the release schedule near you.<br />
<br />
=== Thursday, October 25, 2012: KDE SC 4.10 Soft Feature Freeze ===<br />
Trunk is frozen for feature commits that are not listed in the planned feature document. Only bugfixes and the code implementing the listed features are to be committed after this date. The feature list also closes today.<br />
<br />
Features not already finished or not listed on the planned features page will have to wait until the next KDE SC release.<br />
<br />
=== Thursday, November 1, 2012: KDE SC 4.10 Dependency Freeze ===<br />
From this moment on it is not allowed to add new dependencies or bump dependencies versions. It is possible to get an exception for this. Post the patch to reviewboard and add the release-team as reviewer. We will check if the dependency is needed and is available on all platforms.<br />
<br />
In other words: If you have a feature that requires a new dependency or a version of a dependency that is higher than currently checked for in the build system, you need to have committed this change before this date.<br />
<br />
=== Thursday, November 8, 2012: KDE SC 4.10 Soft Message Freeze ===<br />
All translated messages (GUI strings) are frozen on this date. Only previously untranslated strings or clear errors in strings can be fixed. No major new strings changes should be done. You cannot add new strings, if you really need one ask kde-i18n-doc for an exception. It is ok to remove strings. Exception: Artwork (try to keep the number of new strings low anyways). Exception: Typo fixes can be fixed until the Hard Message Freeze, but you have to mail kde-i18n-doc saying you made a typo fix change.<br />
<br />
=== Thursday, November 8, 2012: KDE SC 4.10 Soft API Freeze ===<br />
To allow the bindings people to have proper time to do their work in preparation to the final release, the API should now be mostly fixed. Changing API is allowed, but commits have to be cc'ed to the kde-bindings mailinglist. This is including older APIs and newly introduced libraries/APIs.<br />
<br />
=== Thursday, November 8, 2012: KDE SC 4.10 Hard Feature Freeze ===<br />

Trunk is frozen for beta release tagging. Only urgent fixes, such as those fixing compilation errors, should be committed. The usual beta rules apply as soon as the Beta tarballs have been generated.<br />
<br />
=== Wednesday, November 21, 2012: KDE SC 4.10 Beta 1 Release ===<br />

<br />
=== Monday, December 17, 2012: KDE SC 4.10 Hard API Freeze ===<br />
To allow the bindings people to have proper time to do their work in preparation to the final release, the API is now frozen. No more changes to APIs or header files (except docs) after this date, including older APIs and newly introduced libraries/APIs.<br />
<br />
=== Monday, December 17, 2012: KDE SC 4.10 Hard Message Freeze ===<br />
Up to now you were able to do typo changes, but you had to mail kde-i18n-doc saying you made a typo fix change. From this moment on you need to contact kde-i18n-doc for every single string change, if noone objects in 5 days you can commit the change.<br />
<br />
=== Monday, December 17, 2012: KDE SC 4.10 Artwork and Bindings Freeze ===<br />
All artwork is frozen on this date. No new artwork should be added. Existing artwork can continue to be tweaked and fixed.<br />
<br />
No new additions to the language bindings, except optional bindings as permitting by the kde-bindings team.<br />
<br />
=== Monday, December 17, 2012: KDE SC 4.10 Documentation Freeze ===<br />

<hr />
<div>= KDE on Mac OSX =<br />
<br />
This is the community page for the KDE on Mac team. It is also a stand-in for the http://mac.kde.org website which is currently very outdated and so has been taken offline. <br />
<br />
== Installing KDE on Mac OSX ==<br />
<br />
KDE does not currently provide binary downloads for Mac OSX. Instead you need to build KDE for yourself from source. The easiest way to do this is to use one of the Mac build systems which will automatically resolve all the dependencies for you. Unfortunately, this can be a very long process, taking up to 2 or more days. As at 23 June 2011 MacPorts is currently recommended as it is the most up-to-date.<br />
<br />
=== Installing using MacPorts ===<br />
<br />
* http://www.macports.org/<br />
<br />
As at 23 June 2011, MacPorts has KDE 4.6.4 and KDE 3.5.10 available for installation. Note that KDE3 is unsupported by both KDE and MacPorts.<br />
<br />
Instructions are provided on TechBase for [http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Mac_OS_X/MacPorts installing a development environment using MacPorts]. If you want a user installation then just skip the final 'Configure your KDE development environment' section.<br />
<br />
=== Installing using Fink ===<br />
<br />
* http://www.finkproject.org/<br />
<br />
As at 23 June 2011, Fink has KDE 4.4.1 and KDE 3.5.10 available for installation. Note that KDE3 is unsupported by both KDE and Fink.<br />
<br />
The Fink packages allow you to install KDE4 as either Qt/X11 or Qt/Mac (native) packages by selecting either packages ending in "-x11" or "-mac", for example "kdebase4-x11" and "kdebase4-mac".<br />
<br />
Additionally, the Fink packages allow the running of the Plasma desktop in X11 mode. Just install "kdebase4-workspace-x11" to install it.<br />
<br />
The Fink KDE packages will be installed in /sw/opt/kde4/x11 or /sw/opt/kde4/mac respectively. They also are able to start D-Bus for you as long as you run "/sw/bin/init.sh" normally, or when you open a terminal, if you have run the path setup script in the Fink installer.<br />
<br />
=== Installing using Homebrew ===<br />
<br />
* https://github.com/somekool/homebrew<br />
<br />
As of Dec 19th 2012, Homebrew recipes has been updated with KDE 4.9.4 and 4.9.95 packages url and sha1<br />
<br />
I have not throughly tested since 4.8.0 but I had Amarok window to open and some bugs we're left.<br />
<br />
If you want to help out. please fork and open PR against my repo. I will test some more soon.<br />
<br />
Note that when a new KDE release comes out, most recipes can be updated automatically using my script<br />
https://github.com/somekool/public_scripts/blob/master/bin/public_scripts/update_kde_versions<br />
<br />
=== Application Installers ===<br />
<br />
Some KDE applications provide a standalone installer, usually in a Qt only mode and missing some KDE integration features.<br />
<br />
* [http://edu.kde.org/marble/download.php Marble Virtual Globe]<br />
<br />
== Running KDE Applications ==<br />
<br />
The applications should be run from the Finder or via Spotlight. See the MacPorts or Fink sections for where the applications will be installed.<br />
<br />
Before running any KDE apps you need to perform a couple of steps once only (replace $USER with your username):<br />
<br />
sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Preferences/KDE<br />
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist<br />
<br />
Sometimes, Installer.app fails to run the post-install. If things are acting funny, try running these two commands in a terminal:<br />
<br />
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist<br />
/opt/local/bin/kbuildsycoca4<br />
