What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- Two updated "deps" packages: qca-qt5 and wayland.
-- A completely new subset of "deps" packages, contained in their own
- "telepathy" subdirectory, is paving the way for KDE Telepathy (see below):
- libotr, libnice, farstream, libaccounts-glib, libaccounts-qt5,
- signon, signon-plugin-oauth2, signon-ui, libsignon-glib,
- telepathy-glib, telepathy-farstream, telepathy-haze, telepathy-gabble,
- telepathy-qt5, telepathy-logger, telepathy-logger-qt5,
- telepathy-mission-control and telepathy-accounts-signon.
-- Frameworks 5.15.0 is an enhancement release, no new Framework was added. See
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.15.0.php
-- Plasma 5.4.2 is a bugfix release, you can read the details in
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.4.2.php . Worth mentioning is
- that I have finally enabled the 'plasma-mediacenter' package.
-- In plasma-extra you will find a rebuilt sddm-qt5 package which fixes the
- broken progress bar on startup of the Plasma Desktop session. Also you will
- find a new package 'xembed-sni-proxy' which docks into the Plasma 5 system
- tray and provided a legacy XEmbed tray for those applications that need it.
- It is therefore no longer necessary to use a program like trayer-srg or
- stalonetray to make these XEmbed tray-icons visible.
-- Applications 15.08.2 is a bugfix release as well. But for my Slackware
- package set, the important change is that I have added all the KDE Telepathy
- packages that previously stayed un-built. You'll find a new systray icon
- waiting for you to configure your IM accounts. Only the voice & video GUI
- is still missing, the KDE Telepathy developers are still looking for someone
- knowledgeable to port the old KDE 4 version to Frameworks 5.
+- Two rebuilt "deps" packages: qca-qt5 and libproxy.

+- In plasma-extra you will find updates for the kdeconnect-framework, sddm-qt5

+- ConsoleKit2 has now been added to Slackware itself, replacing ConsoleKit.

+ critical parts of the systemd-logind API (so that we can ignore systemd).
