With the number of fixes still going into the 4.4 branch after RC2 last week, the release managers have decided to pop another release candidate in between. Last night, Dirk tagged KDE Software Compilation 4.4 RC3, and we're releasing it today already. Overall the release is shaping up nicely, with many bugs still being squashed even in this late phase. Thanks everybody for participating in making KDE SC 4.4 a solid release.

Meanwhile, RC3 is trickling through to our mirrors. Packagers didn't have time to build packages yet, as we're basically attempting to get the release candidates out as quickly as possible to shorten bug-hunting cycles. Please give this RC another whirl and report bugs to us using bugs.kde.org.
