It will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed! Plasma 5
has mostly gotten rid of its Qt4 legacy.
What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-All new packages were compiled with the new gcc 7.1.0 compilers of
-Slackware-current - and that went more smooth than I had anticipated.
-- Old news of course is that the Plasma update to 5.9.5 happened two weeks
- ago, in my KDE-5_17.05 release.
-- Frameworks 5.34.0 is a maintenance release, see
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.34.0.php
-- Applications 17.04.1 is the first bugfix update for KDE Applications 17.04.

+- I moved to Qt version 5.9.0. This is supposed to be a LTS release
+ (Long Term Support).
+- As a result of the qt5 upgrade, lots of other packages in the 'deps' section
+ were recompiled (grantlee phonon polkit-qt5-1 qca-qt5 qt-gstreamer qtav)
+ or upgraded (OpenAL PyQt5 libdbusmenu-qt5 poppler qt5-webkit wayland).
+- Plasma was updated to 5.10.2 bugfix release, see
+ https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.10.2.php . And if you want to
+ know more about what's new in Plasma 5.10, read it on
+ https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.10.0.php
+ I compiled plasma-nm against openconnect so that it picks up support for
+ it. However I did not add openconnect to the 'deps' section, you need
+ to install it separately if you need it.
+- Frameworks 5.35.0 is a maintenance release, see
+ https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.35.0.php
+- Applications 17.04.2 is a bugfix update for KDE Applications 17.04.
+ See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-17.04.2.php .
+- In applications-extra the following packages were upgraded: digikam,
+ krita, kpmcore, partitionmanager. Calligra was recompiled against the
+ new gsl, marble and qt5 libraries.
Further points of interest:
- There are a couple of *runtime* dependencies that I did not add to the
ktown repository, but you may want to consider installing them yourself:
* vlc - will give phonon another backend to select from.
* freerdp: access RDP servers through krdc.
+ * openconnect: support for Cisco's SSL VPN.
All of these can be found in my regular package repository.
- The following kde/kde4-extragear packages should be taken from slackware
itself: kaudiocreator, kplayer, kwebkitpart.
