What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- I moved to Qt version 5.9.0. This is supposed to be a LTS release
- (Long Term Support).
-- As a result of the qt5 upgrade, lots of other packages in the 'deps' section
- were recompiled (grantlee phonon polkit-qt5-1 qca-qt5 qt-gstreamer qtav)
- or upgraded (OpenAL PyQt5 libdbusmenu-qt5 poppler qt5-webkit wayland).

I compiled plasma-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.
-- Frameworks 5.35.0 is a maintenance release, see

-- Applications 17.04.2 is a bugfix update for KDE Applications 17.04.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-17.04.2.php .
-- In applications-extra the following packages were upgraded: digikam,

- new gsl, marble and qt5 libraries.
