What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- Frameworks 5.21.0 is an enhancement release with one new framework:
- kactivities-stats.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.21.0.php
-- Plasma 5.6.3 is the third interation of the 5.6 series which I have not
- shipped before. I have upgraded Qt5 to 5.6.0 to accompany this Plasma
- release. Lots of visual improvements, the task manager is much more
- informative about running tasks and the weather applet is back...
-- Two packages were removed that I added to 'plasma-extra' to cover for the
- period after release of Frameworks 5.20.0 and before Plasma 5.6.0.
- The package 'kactivities-workspace' has been absorbed in Plasma and
- Applications packages, and 'kactivitymanagerd' is now part of Plasma itself.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.6.3.php .
-- Applications 16.04.0 was just released. KColorChooser, KFloppy, KMahjongg
- and KRDC have now been ported to KDE Frameworks 5, and the Kontact Suite
- (KDEPIM) has been subject to massive bughunting (and -fixing). Lots of
- PIM related libraries were split-off into their own source tarballs,
- resulting in 16 new packages. For the announcement, see
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-16.04.0.php .
-- KDE Telepathy now officially has a voice & video GUI application.
- Previously I shipped a beta release of the "ktp-call-ui" package.
- Also I upgraded or recompiled the complete stack of "deps/telepathy"
- packages.
-- ktorrent (and libktorrent) have also been ported to KF5, and packages for
- these have been added to kde/applications-extra/ .
-- Phonon, and its plugins for gstreamer and VLC backends, have been upgraded
- offering improvements for the Qt5 build, better volume slider and muting
- support, and use of the VLC 2.2 API. Remember, if you actually want to
- use the VLC backend for phonon you will have to install a VLC package
- separately (it is not included with the 'ktown' releases).
-- And finally, QT5 was updated to the latest release 5.6.0. A new package
- was added (qt5-webkit) because the Qt5 WebKit source code has been removed
- from Qt5 since 5.6.0 and it needs to be compiled/packaged separately now.
+- Frameworks 5.22.0 is an enhancement release with one new framework:
+ kwayland (this has been moved from plasma to frameworks).

+- Plasma 5.6.4 is an incremental bug fix release.
+ See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.6.4.php
+- Applications 16.04.1 is the first stability upgrade for 16.04 with just
+ bugs fixed, no new functionality.
+ See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-16.04.1.php .
+- Also worth mentioning: the KF5 port of ktorrent can be found in the
+ applications-extra directory. And sddm-qt5 (the SDDM graphical
+ login/session manager) has been fixed so that it uses the proper
+ homedirectory again (the 'sddm' account was added to Slackware months ago
+ but with an incorrect homedirectory. The start of SDDM in runlevel 4
+ is now (almost) instantaneous again.
