Hi, |

We should note that singular 4.0.0 is basically a “kde 4.0.0” kind |
4 |
of release. Anything we do with it will help but I am not sure you |
5 |
can seriously use it at this stage. |

|

There has always been tons of QA with singular, QA that we cannot hope |
8 |
to fix downstream and of which upstream is aware but doesn’t do |
9 |
anything about, unless it actually breaks stuff. |
