Earlier today Dirk sent a message to the release team and KDE core devel mailing lists noting that KDE 4.2 is now branched off of mainline and that the the first RC is being tagged. That means trunk is now what 4.3 will be.
As I've been reminded a few times already today myself, that means we need to backport bugfixes made to trunk that we want to appear in 4.2. The svnbackport script in kdesdk was updated today to backport to the new 4.2 branch and makes the process of backporting your last commit trivial.
The last few weeks leading up to a release are always exciting and nerve wracking for me. There are numerous details that always need to be worked out, though the project is getting better and not leaving things to the last minute. The promo team has been working on release materials since sometime in December, even. Hopefully that reduces the stress levels and burn out rates. =)
In a couple week's time it'll be full throttle on 4.3 ..

Hey! Great work on KDE 4.2, I've been running Betas and they are generally very good and some bugs I've reported have been handled very well too.
I have a quick question which I wanted to get answered from someone in authority since I've heard conflicting answers: Is KDE 4.3 going to be based on QT 4.5 or will it stick with 4.4? Also, are there any features like the new Webkit engine in 4.5 that you think will give a major boost to KDE itself?
Hello.
Thank you very much for the job done, and congratulations!
I would like to ask about the Medie Center integrated into KDE:

It is something I miss a lot. I use my computer as a media center with linux and kde4 with my TV, and an integrated media center would be incredible.

I would not like to have integrated media center to KDE.
The Linux Media Center project (or like it) should stay as own. If they want to use KDE technigs, they can match their roadmap with KDE. But I want that KDE stays clean by default install, so I do not need to choose somekind kde-minimal installation.
Those who have TV-card/stick etc on their machine, they can install media center itself. And when nepomuk is finished and working well on KDE4, those applications could support it to browse media on computer etc.
I agree with Mikko, keep KDE clean by default.
But with the possibility of adding things later.
Yeah, let's hold back progress just to make people who like small installs happy.
