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:
-- This month's updates to the 'deps' are: qt5 and PyQt5.
- Fresh additions are: LibRaw and exiv2. These are stock Slackware packages
- and the two are being upgraded ahead of Slackware, so that the Plasma5
- packages can pick them up. Pat added the shared libs for the older
- releases to 'aaa_elflibs' so that none of the Slackware packages will
- break when you install this month's Plasma5 packages.
- And I have removed qt5-speech because I overlooked that this is already
- part of the big qt5 package.
-- I rebuilt kdelibs in the KDE4 section, just like Pat did for Slackware.
- This removes hardcoded TLSv1 allowing TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2.
-- Frameworks 5.64.0 is an incremental stability release, see:
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.64.0.php
-- Plasma 5.17.2 is a an incremental bug-fix release in the 5.17 cycle of the
- KDE desktop environment. See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.17.2.php
-- In plasma-extra I updated latte-dock.
-- Applications 19.08.3 is a stability and bugfix update for the 19.08 cycle,
- see https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-19.08.3.php
-- In applications-extra I updated digikam, kile (finally 3.0 beta 3!), kstars
- and kdevelop-pg-qt, kdevelop, kdev-php, kdev-python. Due to the new exiv2
- and LibRaw I rebuilt krename and krita.
+- This month's updates to the 'deps' are: I removed qt-gstreamer since there
+ is no other package which depends on it anymore (telepathy-kde-call-ui was
+ the only one, but that one got removed earlier).
+ I upgraded lensfun, mlt and sip. and I added a new package 'md4c' which is
+ a dependency for Qt 5.14. However, eventually I decided not to upgrade my
+ 'qt5' package because not all software is ready for Qt 5.14 yet.
+- Frameworks 5.65.0 is an incremental stability release, and it adds one new
+ package (kquickcharts), see also:
+ https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.65.0.php
+- Plasma 5.17.3 is a an incremental bug-fix release in the 5.17 cycle of the
+ KDE desktop environment. See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.17.3.php
+- In plasma-extra I updated latte-dock and kdeconnect-framework. The latter
+ depends on the two new packages that I have added to plasma-extra:
+ pulseaudio-qt and kpeoplevcard.
+- Applications 19.12.0 is the start of the 19.12 cycle for what has been
+ re-branded from "Applications" to "Releases". There's a new application in
+ there: 'elisa'.
+ See https://kde.org/announcements/releases/19.12/
+- In applications-extra I updated calligraplan, krita and kstars.
