Hi there.

After discussing with Ereslibre (my partner in this bluedevil thing) we
have decided to pay special attention to Kubuntu 10.10, since no matter
when we release 1.0, is in Kubuntu release when BlueDevil will make his
public debut, We hope that with a little bit of lucky and working all
together we can get it rock solid for the final release!

 So, I've installed Kubuntu 10.10 in my laptop, and started to check
things and fix bugs, so far using BlueDevil master even the kio_obexftp
is stable.

I've noticed tough a few issues I would like to address:

1-pulseaudio-module-bluetooth is not installed by default, it is needed
to make audio bluetooth devices work.

2-There is a bug fixed in 4.5.2 that would be very nice to have (fixed):
http://websvn.kde.org/?view=revision&revision=1170418 basically without
it, previewjob will try "desperately" to copy remote folders, and it
will keep busy the kio_obexftp. This is specially critical because
kio_obexftp only is allow to be launched once, so if our only instance
is kept busy, everything seems "slow and buggy".

Finally, we have decided to modify our release schedule, and release the
1.0 RC4 next Friday, so it can be packaged before freeze without
problems. After freeze, we will keep an eye to launchpad/kde bugtrack
BlueDevil bugs, and try to provide patches for the important bugs.

Thanks for everything!
