Why hasn’t Kdenlive 25.04.0 been released yet when it is already in the download folder?
It is available, this is my results from dnf list:
dnf list --available kdenlive
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Available packages
kdenlive.x86_64 25.04.0-3.fc42 updates
So the updates repo does have the rpm for kdenlive version 25.04.0-3.
I see the package you pointed to was an AppImage so do you mean packages other than the rpm, like flatpak or snap?

I assume he means an announcement about it.
Releasing is a process with many steps, people have busy lives. The linux appimage was built and uploaded just a few hours ago, the other ‘official’ binaries and release announcement will surely follow soon.
The appimages being available for some time, sometimes even a few days, before the announcement is pretty normal.

There is a Kdenlive section on the Gear 25.04 release page:
These are the highlights:
- Can now import and export projects using the OpenTimelineIO format
- The audio waveform viewer was completely rewritten in this version
As I use openSUSE, when I need to, I check the changelog on their Open Build Service:
For this release it only lists bugfixes. I don’t know where they get this info from.
just downloaded but the “obscure” bug ( [regression] Obscure (and maybe others?) area of effect always at full screen. (#856) · Issues · Multimedia / Kdenlive · GitLab ) is still present.. i hope this is not the final release.
It is quite normal for the new versions to be on the download server for a few days before the announcements. It’s a small team, and they have to do things like writing up the lists of new features and bug fixes, and presumably that can’t be done until the versions are finalised. It all takes time. If I know a new version is due, I just check the download server every few days and grab it when it’s available.
It was tagged as 25.04.0 on the 16th, so yes this is the pending release binary, and nothing fixed since then is in it. But as always, there’s likely to be point releases as wider testing shakes out new issues. So please, do test it and report any you find!
Kdenlive follows the KDE Gear release schedule but we officially announce the release on the Kdenlive website a few days later to allow time for packaging and testing the binaries, as well as preparing the release notes. Normally, the release post is published shortly after the official release, but this month it took a little longer. The upside of this delay is that it gave us time to catch and fix a last-minute bug before finalizing the binaries.
