What is the NEWS in this batch of updates: -- Two updated "deps" packages: qca-qt5 and wayland. -- A completely new subset of "deps" packages, contained in their own - "telepathy" subdirectory, is paving the way for KDE Telepathy (see below): - libotr, libnice, farstream, libaccounts-glib, libaccounts-qt5, - signon, signon-plugin-oauth2, signon-ui, libsignon-glib, - telepathy-glib, telepathy-farstream, telepathy-haze, telepathy-gabble, - telepathy-qt5, telepathy-logger, telepathy-logger-qt5, - telepathy-mission-control and telepathy-accounts-signon. -- Frameworks 5.15.0 is an enhancement release, no new Framework was added.

Worth mentioning is - that I have finally enabled the 'plasma-mediacenter' package. -- In plasma-extra you will find a rebuilt sddm-qt5 package which fixes the - broken progress bar on startup of the Plasma Desktop session. Also you will - find a new package 'xembed-sni-proxy' which docks into the Plasma 5 system - tray and provided a legacy XEmbed tray for those applications that need it. - It is therefore no longer necessary to use a program like trayer-srg or - stalonetray to make these XEmbed tray-icons visible. -- Applications 15.08.2 is a bugfix release as well. But for my Slackware - package set, the important change is that I have added all the KDE Telepathy - packages that previously stayed un-built.
