KDE5
====
-This is KDE 5_15.05 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.10.0,
-Plasma 5.3.1 and Applications 15.04.1. It's mostly a maintenance release for
-all components; there's no new packages or functionality.
+This is KDE 5_15.06 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.10.0,
+Plasma 5.3.1 and Applications 15.04.2. Compared to my KDE 5_15.05 the only
+updates are the new set of Applications packages. This includes LTS
+(Long Term Support) updates for kdelibs, kdepimlibs, kdepim, kdepim-runtime
+and kde-workspace.
+One package is new:
+- kde4-extragear/kdeconnect4 contains the essentials of the KDE4 based
+ kdeconnect-kde which will allow you to access your Android device with the
+ (also still KDE4 based) Dolphin. This package therefore fixes the errors
+ you would get if you tried to access your Android device in Plasma 5.
+One package has been modified:
+- kde4/kactivities, the KDE4 based version, no longer contains the
+ kactivitymanagerd binary.
+ The same daemon in the kactivities-framework works fine with the KDE4 based
+ activities libraries. When installing all my KDE5 packages in one massive
+ upgrade, the kactivities package would get installed after the
+ kactivities-framework package and the KDE4 based kactivitymanagerd would
+ overwrite the Frameworks version, causing serious desktop crashes.
+Note:
This is meant only to be installed on top of Slackware -current and it will
*replace* any version of KDE 4 you migh thave installed!
-Plasma 5 is the next generation of KDE's desktop workspace.
-Plasma 5 improves support for high-DPI displays and comes with a "converged
-shell", i.e. one Plasma codebase for different target devices. Plasma 5 uses
-a new fully hardware-accelerated OpenGL(ES) graphics stack. Plasma 5 is built
-using Qt 5 and Frameworks 5.
-And with the Breeze themed artwork and its own Oxygen font, this desktop looks
-clean and modern.

-New & changed since my KDE 5_15.04 release:
-- kde/frameworks packages were updated to 5.10.0. No new Frameworks this time.
- See also https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.10.0.php
-- kde/plasma packages were updated to 5.3.1. This is a maintenance release,
- see also https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.3.1.php
-- kde/applications packages were updated to 15.04.1. This is a bugfix release,
- see also https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-15.04.1.php
-- kde/kde4, new LTS (Long Term Support) versions of kdelibs, kdepim*
-- deps directory: I have removed qt-gstreamer0 because I do not think any
- package uses it. Slackware has moved to gstreamer-1 and furthermore, the
- contents of qt-gstreamer and qt-gstreamer0 paackages had a partial overlap
- in their files. Be sure to re-install qt-gstreamer just in case.
-- I fixed the missing shutdown/reboot and suspend/hibernate options in the
- menu by adding several Polkit policy files to the powerdevil package.
-
Further points of interest that are unchanged since the previous releases:
-- kde/kde4-extragear is completely emptied - you should use the packages from
- slackware-current (calligra, k3b, kaudiocreator, kplayer, kwebkitpart,
- oxygen-gtk2, oxygen-gtk3, kdevplatform, kdevelop-pg-qt, kdevelop,
- kdev-python, kdevelop-php, kdevelop-php-docs, skanlite, kio-mtp,
- libktorrent, ktorrent, partitionmanager).
+- kde/kde4-extragear packages should be taken from slackware-current (calligra,
+ k3b, kaudiocreator, kplayer, kwebkitpart, oxygen-gtk2, oxygen-gtk3,
+ kdevplatform, kdevelop-pg-qt, kdevelop, kdev-python, kdevelop-php,
+ kdevelop-php-docs, skanlite, kio-mtp, libktorrent, ktorrent, partitionmanager)
- I still did not compile the new Plasma Mediacenter tech-preview.
- Note that I did not compile the new KDEnlive and KDE Telepathy. They need
a lot of attention before I can build them and it was more important to me
