An -original project goal by users was to retain the flavor of the original KDE 3.5 desktop. -That goal remains intact. To reflect that original goal, the last number in the original -version scheme is retained in the new version scheme but is now the primary version number. -While the infrastructure has changed, the desktop itself remains the same as the original -KDE 3.5. This new version scheme indicates a modest divergence from the original KDE 3.5 -series and that Trinity is now its own desktop environment.
