It will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!
The Plasma 5 Desktop has gotten rid of its Qt4 legacy. Since the release of
Applications 17.12 there's nothing left which is based on kdelibs4.
What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- The mass-rebuild of slackware-current made it necessary to act on some
- packages in the 'deps' section. I upgraded gpgme, mlt, poppler and qt5
- to a newer version; and I added QScintilla to extend the package available
- in Slackware with support for Qt5.
+- In the 'deps' section, cryfs was rebuilt and poppler updated to match the
+ version in Slackware.
- Frameworks update is a stability release, see:
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.45.0.php .
+ https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.46.0.php .
- Plasma is a stability update as well. See:
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.12.4.php .
+ https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.12.5.php .
I compiled plasma5-nm against openconnect so that it picks up support for
it. However I did not add openconnect to the 'deps' section, you need
to install it separately if you need it.
-- In plasma-extra the 'kdeconnect-framework' package was updated.
-- Applications 18.04.0 is the start of a new round of improvements.
- Two new packages are available starting with 18.04: 'kamoso' which is a
- webcam recorder, and a backup program 'kbackup'. The instant messenger
- client Kopete was ported to KF5 and is contained in the source distribution,
- but I was unable to compile it. Perhaps more luck next month. Finally,
- the hex editor 'okteta' moved to the 'applications-extra' section because
- its developer no longer wants to be tied to Application release windows.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-18.04.0.php .
-- In applications-extra I have upgraded 'kdiagram' and 'krita'.

-Same old same old:
-------------------
+- Applications 18.04.1 is a stability and bugfix release.
+ See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-18.04.1.php .
+- In applications-extra I have rebuilt calligra and upgraded alkimia, falkon,
+ kdevelop, kdev-php, kdev-python, krita and krusader. I also added one new
+ package: krename.
