+Plasma 5.3.1 and Applications 15.04.1. It's mostly a maintenance release for

This is meant only to be installed on top of Slackware -current and it will

-New & changed since my KDE 5_15.03 release:
-- kde/frameworks packages were updated to 5.9.0. One new Framework was added:
- + ModemManagerQt: a Qt wrapper for ModemManager API, this used to be
- libmm-qt5 in the plasma directory.
- See also https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.9.0.php
-- kde/plasma packages were updated to 5.3.0. This is new feature release,
- see also https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.3.0.php
- Note that I did not compile the new Plasma Mediacenter tech-preview.
-- kde/applications packages were updated to 15.04.0. This is a bugfix release,
- see also https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-15.04.0.php
- Note that I did not compile the new KDEnlive and KDE Telepathy. They need
- a lot of attention before I can build them and it was more important to me
- to have a new release of KDE 5 out as fast as possible, that works with
- the latest slackware-current.

+New & changed since my KDE 5_15.04 release:
+- kde/frameworks packages were updated to 5.10.0. No new Frameworks this time.

+- kde/kde4, new LTS (Long Term Support) versions of kdelibs, kdepim*
+- deps directory: I have removed qt-gstreamer0 because I do not think any
+ package uses it. Slackware has moved to gstreamer-1 and furthermore, the
+ contents of qt-gstreamer and qt-gstreamer0 paackages had a partial overlap
+ in their files. Be sure to re-install qt-gstreamer just in case.
+- I fixed the missing shutdown/reboot and suspend/hibernate options in the
+ menu by adding several Polkit policy files to the powerdevil package.
+
+Further points of interest that are unchanged since the previous releases:
- kde/kde4-extragear is completely emptied - you should use the packages from
slackware-current (calligra, k3b, kaudiocreator, kplayer, kwebkitpart,
oxygen-gtk2, oxygen-gtk3, kdevplatform, kdevelop-pg-qt, kdevelop,
kdev-python, kdevelop-php, kdevelop-php-docs, skanlite, kio-mtp,
libktorrent, ktorrent, partitionmanager).
-- deps directory has three new packages (PyQt5, cfitsio, grantlee-qt5)
- to allow the new KF5 ports kstars and rocs to compile and since lots of
- applications can use PyQt5; updates for PyQt, qt5 and sip; and the rest has
- been recompiled just to be sure they are compatible with slackware-current.
