Subsequent Trinity releases +followed that numbering scheme. Release R14.0.0 marks a turning point in Trinity history +because a great deal of the code infrastructure was changed. While those changes do not +effect the usability or look-and-feel of the desktop that users enjoy, Trinity developers +believe a change in the version scheme distinguishes when those changes occurred. An +original project goal by users was to retain the flavor of the original KDE 3.5 desktop. +That goal remains intact. To reflect that original goal, the last number in the original +version scheme is retained in the new version scheme but is now the primary version number. +While the infrastructure has changed, the desktop itself remains the same as the original +KDE 3.5. This new version scheme indicates a modest divergence from the original KDE 3.5 +series and that Trinity is now its own desktop environment. The new version scheme reminds +users that Trinity retains the original KDE 3.5 design, but is moving forward as a separate +desktop project.</para> </answer> </qandaentry> |
