+- kdeadmin, kdetoys, kdesdk and kdenetwork have been split up into smaller
individual packages since 4.10.5.
-One package has been renamed in 4.12: kwallet is now called kwalletmanager.
-One additional rename took place after 4.12.3: kdnssd became zeroconf-ioslave.
-
-Updates to 'extragear' packages are: Calligra and KDevelop.
-A new package 'kdev-python' has been added, bringing Python support to KDevelop.
-
-You have a choice of NetworkManager GUI: the original 'networkmanagement'
-widget or the new QML based 'plasma-nm' applet. The packages required for
-the Plasma NetworkManager applet are: libmm-qt, libnm-qt and plasma-nm itself.
-
-Added since 4.12.3 is 'kdeconnect-kde' which is the counterpart of the
-Andriod application kdeconnect-android. KDE Connect allows your Android
-smartphone to interact with your KDE Desktop.
+Two packages were renamed in 4.12:
+- kwallet is now called kwalletmanager.
+- kdnssd became zeroconf-ioslave.
+
+In every major release, several new packages are added. KDE 4.13 is not
+different; artikulate, baloo, baloo-widgets, kfilemetadata and kqtquickcharts
+need to be installed using "installpkg" or "upgradepkg --install-new" if you
+are running any version of KDE earlier than 4.13.0.
+If you have installed the slackpkg+ extension to slackpkg and added my 'ktown'
+repository, then "slackpkg install ktown" should show you a list of new
+packages to install.
+
+Noteworthy additions since Slackware's KDE are:
+- kdeconnect-kde, which is the counterpart of the Andriod application
+ kdeconnect-android. KDE Connect allows your Android smartphone to
+ interact with your KDE Desktop.
+- baloo, which is the next generation of the nepomuk project. It's responsible
+ for handling user metadata such as tags, rating and comments.
+ It also handles indexing and searching for files, emails, contacts, and so on.
+ Automatic migration from nepomuk to baloo has been added to KDE 4.13.
+- plasma-nm: you have a choice of NetworkManager GUI now.
+ The original 'networkmanagement' widget will ultimately be replaced by
+ the new QML based 'plasma-nm' applet. The packages required for the
+ Plasma NetworkManager applet are: libmm-qt, libnm-qt and plasma-nm itself.
