For KDE's history, we begin at the beginning, a little before it's true inception in 1996, and take you up to the RC1 of Plasma 6 in late January of 2024.🤝S...
I meant to reply but kept getting distracted while typing it out. It’s my favorite trait of mine. 🙄 Sorry about that.
But when we sat down to record the following episode, we ended up talking about what you wrote..
I really appreciate this insight. This is something we never would have gotten doing our normal digging. I have a lot of respect for folks like you for doing real hard work and still having it not quite work out the way you wanted.
We did do the high version numbers for alpha, beta, RC etc. leading into 4.0 as well.
You can find some of that here: 4.0 release schedule - go through the version history of that page. Fun times. (Makes me nostalgic.) You’ll note that the release date got pushed back a few times as more betas and things were inserted. You’ll also see version numbers like 3.97 for release candidates.

That release schedule is a rabbit hole! We could probably do an entire segment just over 4.0. That would be something.
Thanks for the work distraction. :)
