We hope to start the release cycle with alpha releases by end of 2010  
or early 2011.

I haven't seen this particular release. If this suits your purposes,  
great, but it's based on the existing zpush and the "diff" backend  
which, performance wise, is absolutely horrible. You will also have  
significant issues in a number of areas, including recurring events  
and exceptions.

I spent a considerable amount of time rewriting portions of the zpush  
code, refactoring it into a stand-alone horde library, and improving  
support in Horde's applications for things like recurring  
events/exceptions. It's simply not possible to port some of the  
improvements to Horde 3 due to backwards compatibility issues. So,  
backporting will not be done.

We already do provide snapshots of Horde 4 applications and libraries.

Sorry you find this to be the case. I am assuming you have found the  
instructions on our website at http://horde.org/source/git.php - If  
you have specific questions on setup, an email to the  
dev at lists.horde.org list is sure to generate a helpful response.


Thanks,
mike
