The KDE project has delayed the release of version 4.0 of the desktop, by inserting an extra two beta releases, due for release on Sept 24 and Oct 22. Following that: Nov 19: Total Release Freeze; Nov 21: RC1; December 5: RC2; December 20: 4.0.0 tagged. They have done this because they "feel that there are crucial elements of the release that need more development time". The new roadmap is available here.
