Plasma 5.5 ditched - KDE's own TrueType font "oxygen-icons" in favor of Google's Noto font family. - Support for legacy Xembed protocol is back and my "xembed-sni-proxy" package - which I added a few releases earlier, is gone again from my repository - because its code is now part of Plasma itself. - Network Manager applet supports WPA Enterprise now. - A Breeze theme engine for GTK2+ applications was added. -- Applications 15.12.0 is a step further in maturing the KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5) - ports of the KDE application collection. - Highlight is the retirement of good old KSnapshot and the introduction of - a brand new screenshot tool, Spectacle. - Apart from KSnapshot, other packages have been removed as well: Amor, KTux - (both unmaintained), and SuperKaramba (Plasma offers similar functionality). - Several artwork collections are no longer shipped: kde-base-artwork, - kde-wallpapers and kdeartwork.
