It will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed! Plasma 5
has mostly gotten rid of its Qt4 legacy. Applications 17.12 will no longer
ship anything based on kdelibs4.
What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- The deps section has many updates; OpenAL, PyQt5, cfitsio, frei0r-plugins,
- libxkbcommon, lmdb, mlt, poppler, qt5, qt5-webkit, sip and wayland.
- In particular, qt5 was upgraded to 5.9.1.
- Also two new packages found their way in: id3lib (new dependency for kwave,
- now that MP3 support has been enabled) and ddcutil (a new dependency for
- bluedevil).
-- Plasma was updated to 5.10.5 bugfix release, see
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.10.5.php . And if you want to

+- Plasma was updated to 5.11.0, see

I compiled plasma5-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 5.38.0 contains one new framework: kirigami, see
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.38.0.php
-- Applications 17.08.1 is the first stability update for KDE Applications
+ New to Plasma 5.11 is the Vault. It needs an encryption backend (cryfs or
+ encfs) at runtime but I did not add these to the 'deps'. I might create
+ packages for those in my regular repository however.
+ Plasma 5.11 has more improvements, among others it comes with a new design

+- Frameworks 5.39.0 contains one new framework: qqc2-desktop-style, see

+- Applications 17.08.2 is a stability update for KDE Applications
17.08 (where the following applications are finally also KF5 based: kmag,
kmousetool, kgoldrunner, kigo, konquest, kreversi, ksnakeduel, kspaceduel,
ksudoku, kubrick, lskat, and umbrello).
