It will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!
The Plasma 5 Desktop has gotten rid of its Qt4 legacy. Since the release of
Applications 17.12 there's nothing left which is based on kdelibs4.
What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- Some note-worthy changes in the 'deps' section: the 'qt5' package was
- updated to 5.11.3, the 'qt5-webkit' package was recompiled against this
- new Qt5, and 'libdbusmenu-gtk' was updated to being it in sync with the
- package in my regular repository.
- Note that I did not update Qt5 to the latest 5.13.0 release. I want to
- wait with that and first test it with the upcoming Applications 18.12.0.
- Note that I forgot to mention the new 'hyphen' package last time. It is
- a new dependency for the 'qt5-webkit' package which received a big version
- bump last time.
-- I recompiled all of the 'deps/telepathy' packages to remedy library
- linking issues.
-- Frameworks update is a stability release, see:
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.53.0.php .
-- Plasma 5.14.4 is an incremental upgrade in the Plasma Desktop 5.14
+- Some note-worthy changes in the 'deps' section: there's a new dependency
+ to 'OpenAL': 'SDL_sound'. And I finally decided to add freecell-solver
+ in order to be able to compile the KDE 'kpat' package.
+ The 'freecell-solver' package needs 'python3-random2', 'perl-path-tiny'
+ and 'perl-template-toolkit' to compile so these were also added as packages.
+ I added 'drumstick' so that I could compile the KDE 'minuet' package.
+ And finally, I upgraded 'phonon' and 'phonon-vlc' and rebuilt
+ 'phonon-gstreamer'.
+- Frameworks 5.54.0 is an incremental stability release, see:
+ https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.54.0.php .
+- Plasma 5.14.5 is an incremental upgrade in the Plasma Desktop 5.14
release cycle, bringing stability and performance fixes.

-- Applications 18.08.3 is a stability and bugfix update.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-18.08.3.php .
-- In plasma-extra I have upgraded 'kdeconnect-framework' and 'wacomtablet'.
- I also removed the old 'kde-wallpapers' package, it is a left-over
- from the KDE4 era and Plasma5 has its own wallpapers in
- 'plasma-workspace-wallpapers' now.
+- Applications 18.12.1 is the first stability and bugfix update for the 18.12
+ cycle. I did not package 18.12.0 so this is actually the first opportunity
+ to test the latest KDE Applications on Slackware.
+ See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-18.12.1.php and
+ if you want more detail about the 18.12 cycle you should also read
+ https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-18.12.0.php .
+ And since I added the required dependencies, I could now compile two packages
+ in Applications: 'kpat' and 'minuet'.
+ Added to Applications 18.12 are: 'knights' (chess game) and
+ 'kirigami-gallery' (example application programmed in kirigami).
+- In plasma-extra I have upgraded 'wacomtablet'.
- In applications-extra I have upgraded 'kdevelop', 'kdev-php', 'kdev-python'
- and 'kmymoney'.
+ 'kstars' and 'okteta'.
