| − | + | * From this date forward, no major KDE subsystem can be committed to kdelibs. | |
| − | + | * The location of all classes are fixed within kdelibs. | |
| − | + | * Trunk is expected to contain KDE4 code only now. This effectively means that all scripts processing translations for KDE3 in trunk will cease. | |
| − | + | * Extragear applications that want to release based on KDE3 are expected to move to /branches/stable and work from there. | |
| − | + | * The buildsystem requirements are fixed; i.e, must not require a version of cmake greater than 2.4.5. | |

| − | + | * To make an API change, post a kdelibs API exception request to the kde-core-devel mailinglist with an explanation and the code. If there are no objections after a week, the change can be committed. | |
