+Upgrading from the previous 5_15.12 should be straight-forward.
+KDE-5_16.01 is meant only to be installed on top of Slackware -current and
it will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!
What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- Frameworks 5.17.0 is an enhancement release.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.17.0.php
-- Plasma 5.5.1 is the first bugfix release of the 5.5 series.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.5.1.php . Plasma 5.5 ditched
- KDE's own TrueType font "oxygen-icons" in favor of Google's Noto font family.
- Support for legacy Xembed protocol is back and my "xembed-sni-proxy" package
- which I added a few releases earlier, is gone again from my repository
- because its code is now part of Plasma itself.
- Network Manager applet supports WPA Enterprise now.
- A Breeze theme engine for GTK2+ applications was added.
-- Applications 15.12.0 is a step further in maturing the KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5)
- ports of the KDE application collection.
- Highlight is the retirement of good old KSnapshot and the introduction of
- a brand new screenshot tool, Spectacle.
- Apart from KSnapshot, other packages have been removed as well: Amor, KTux
- (both unmaintained), and SuperKaramba (Plasma offers similar functionality).
- Several artwork collections are no longer shipped: kde-base-artwork,
- kde-wallpapers and kdeartwork. Do you need them back? Please tell me.
+- Frameworks 5.18.0 is an enhancement release.
+ See https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.18.0.php
+ Most visible fix is that the annoying "I18N_PLURAL_ARGUMENT_MISSING" text
+ in several notifications is gone.
+ I moved the 'bluez-qt' package into the Frameworks directory where it belongs
+ (previous release it was mistakenly created in the Plasma directory).
+- Plasma 5.5.3 is a bugfix release of the 5.5 series.
+ See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.5.3.php .
+ With PulseAudio added to Slackware, I was now able to create a package for
+ 'plasma-pa' which provides a system tray plasmoid for volume control using
+ PulseAudio.
+ I re-added the old kde-wallpapers of KDE Applications and placed the package
+ in the 'plasma-extra' directory.
+- Applications 15.12.1 provides stability updates for the 15.12 release, see
+ https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-15.12.1.php
