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:
-- This month, Qt 5.12.1 landed in the "deps" section of my ktown repository.
- It is accompanied by the latest 'libxkbcommon', 'sip' and 'PyQt5' releases.
- The 'qt5' update also mandated a recompile of the 'qt5-webkit' package.
- Unfortunately I am not able to compile the latest (and final) PyQt 4.x
- release, and the same goes for the Qt4 support in QScintilla.
- So I stuck with Slackware's 'PyQt' and dropped Qt4 support from 'QScintilla'.
- Other news? I added a base for speech support in KDE Plasma (and Slackware)
- with the "deps" packages 'pcaudiolib', 'espeak-ng', 'pyxdg', 'dotconf',
- 'flite', 'speech-dispatcher' and 'qt5-speech' (that's the compile order).
- The packages that will pick up speech support are 'kanagram', 'kmouth',
- 'knights' (applications) 'kpimtextedit', 'kdepim-runtime' (kdepim)
- 'ktp-text-ui' (telepathy) and 'knotifications', 'ktextwidgets' (frameworks).
- And finally, I added 'libsass' and 'sassc' packages as new dependencies for
- 'breeze-gtk'.
-- Frameworks 5.55.0 is an incremental stability release, see:
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.55.0.php .
-- Plasma 5.15.0 is the first installment in the Plasma Desktop 5.15 release
- cycle, with a focus on User Interface and User Experience improvements.
- Also, integration with 3rd party graphics toolkits - think of GTK but also
- Firefox - has improved significantly.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.15.0.php
-- Applications 18.12.2 is another stability and bugfix update for the 18.12
- cycle.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-18.12.2.php and
- if you want more detail about the 18.12 cycle you should also read
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-18.12.0.php .
-- In applications-extra I have upgraded 'kmymoney' and recompiled 'krita'
- for better compatibility wih Qt 5.12.
+- Because of the three-month hiatus between releases, there are quite some
+ updates to be reported. First, the deps department:
+ Qt went up to 5.12.3 and with it come the latest versions of 'libxkbcommon',
+ 'qt5-speech', 'qca-qt5', gpgme', 'sip' and 'PyQt5'. The 'qt5-webkit'
+ package was recompiled against the new 'qt5'.
+ The 'cryfs' package and its dependency 'cryptopp' were updated to their
+ most recent releases.
+ To support the latest version of kdenlive, a new package 'rttr' was added
+ and the 'mlt' package was updated.
+- Frameworks 5.58.0 is an incremental stability release, see:
+ https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.58.0.php .
+- Plasma 5.15.5 is the final iteration before we move on to 5.16.
+ See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.15.5.php
+- In plasma-extra I updated kdeconnect-framework.
+- Applications 19.04.1 is a stability and bugfix update for the 19.04 cycle,
+ but since I never packaged the .0 release, this is actually the first
+ 'ktown for Slackware' release with the new Applications in which we find a
+ KDEnlive with 60% of its code re-written from scratch.
+ See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-19.04.1.php and
+ if you want more detail about the 19.04 cycle you should also read
+ https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-19.04.0.php .
+- In applications-extra I applied many upgrades:
+ New versions are now available for 'alkimia', 'digikam', 'falkon',
+ 'kdevelop', 'kdev-php', 'kdev-python', 'kmymoney', 'kpmcore', 'krita',
+ 'kstars', 'okteta' and 'partitionmanager'.
