+KDE-5_17.04 is meant to be installed on top of Slackware -current.
It will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed! Plasma 5
has mostly gotten rid of its Qt4 legacy.
What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- The 'deps' section has some interesting updates this time. Two upgraded
- packages: phonon-vlc and qca-qt5. Also six new ones to support digikam
- and kdenlive: lensfun, opencv, frei0r-plugins, vid.stab, dvdauthor and mlt.
- You may already have one or more of these installed from SBo, so make sure
- to upgrade to mine to prevent breakage in digikam and kdenlive. Notably,
- the SBo version of 'frei0r-plugins' package is called 'frei0r'.
-- Frameworks 5.32.0 is an enhancement release, nothing exciting.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.32.0.php
-- Plasma 5.9.3 is yet another iteration of the 5.9 series with small fixes only.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.9.3.php .
-- Applications 16.12.3 is an incremental fix-release in the 16.12 series.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-16.12.3.php .
- This time I have built the 'libkface' and 'kdenlive' packages now that
- their dependencies have been fulfilled.
-- Applications-extra contains two new packages: digikam and krusader.
- I have also added a beta release of k3b (now finally a KF5 port)
- which will see its first new official release as part of Applications
- 17.04. And finally, I upgraded the kdevelop related packages.
-- In plasma-extra I rebuilt the sddm-qt5 package, enabling the dutch
- translation and making sure that SDDM picks up your $LANG settings.
+- The 'deps' section has one recompiled package (because of incompatible
+ library updates in slackware-current): dvdauthor, and five upgrades:
+ accountsservice, frei0r-plugins, gpgme, ninja and poppler.
+ There's also one new package: qtav as a new dependency for digikam.
+- Frameworks 5.33.0 is an bugfix release.

+- Plasma 5.9.4 is yet another iteration of the 5.9 series with small fixes only.

+- Applications 17.04.0 is an new major release. Again some remaining kdelibs4
+ based applications have been ported to KF5.
+ See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-17.04.0.php .
+ The k3b is now part of the Applications suite, so I have removed the package
+ based on a git snapshot from 'applications-extra'. Another package which
+ is no longer part of my 'ktown' set: kajongg (it requires python3 now).
+ Two packages are no longer shipped becasue their sources are no longer part
+ of Applications: pim-storage-service-manager and kommander.
+- In applications-extra I added the latest releases of the kdevelop suite
+ and of kpmcore (the partitionmanager core libraries). I rebuilt digikam
+ against qtav.
+ The newest calligra was already added last week as part of a package
+ rebuild, caused by slackware-current library updates.
+- In kde4-extragear I have added audiocd-kio4 and libkcompactdisc4 which are
+ built from kdelibs4 based Applications 16.08.3 sources.
+ The audiocd-kio4, libkcddb4 and libkcompactdisc4 packages are (only)
+ required by kaudiocreator.
Further points of interest:
- There are a couple of *runtime* dependencies that I did not add to the
ktown repository, but you may want to consider installing them yourself:
* vlc - will give phonon another backend to select from.
- * python-twisted - required by kajongg to start & run.
* freerdp: access RDP servers through krdc.
All of these can be found in my regular package repository.
