Subject: Tag moved for release
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2000 13:44:27 +0200
From: Matthias Elter 

Hi

I have moved the KDE_2_0_RELEASE tag to HEAD a few minutes ago. This marks 
the deadline for the 2.0 release. I will now prepare a set of tarballs which 
will be release to the packagers later today.

In case any _critical_ bugs are found in the tarballs, the tag will be moved 
for single commits tonight. Drop me a mail but for _critical_ fixes only.

kde-i18n has been tagged KDE_2_0_RELEASE, too.
There is a pending lock on kdenetwork so I could not move the tag for it yet.

Bye,
Matthias

P.S.: The plan is to wait a few (2-3) days until HEAD is openend for 2.1 
commits and a KDE_2_0 branch for security updates and critical fixes is 
created.
