=======
-This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.10.5 for Slackware 14.0.
-Now that Slackware-current has an official set of KDE 4.10.x packages,
-provided by Patrick Volkerding, I am offering my own packages for
-Slackware 14.0 - so that users of this stable release can enjoy the
-KDE upgrade as well.
-This is the last incremental release in the 4.10 series, which probably
-means that this is the last version of KDE4 that I will be compiling for
-Slackware 14. If Pat decides to upgrade to KDE 4.11 in Slackware-current,
-then there will be a KDE 4.11 for Slackware 14 as well.
-
-The upgrade from Slackware 14's own 4.8.5 will be trivial. I added eleven
-updated dependencies (PyQt, QScintilla, akonadi, attica, libbluedevil,
-phonon-gstreamer, qt, shared-desktop-ontologies, sip, soprano and virtuoso-ose)
-and added a new one: qjson.
-None of these dependencies were updated since my KDE 4.10.4 package set.
-
-I updated several 'extragear' packages compared to Slackware 14: bluedevil,
-calligra, kdevelop, kdevplatform, ktorrent, kwebkitpart, libktorrent,
-networkmanagement, oxygen-gtk2, skanlite. Four extragear packages are all new:
-libkscreen, kscreen, oxygen-gtk3 and kio-mtp.
-Compared to my previous KDE 4.10.4 package set, I updated libkscreen, kscreen,
-oxygen-gtk2 and oxygen-gtk3.
-
-Four KDE packages have been removed since the KDE 4.8.5 of Slackware 14:
-* kdegames has been split up into smaller individual packages since 4.10.1.
-* kdemultimedia has been split up into smaller individual packages since 4.9.x.
-* ksecrets has been removed completely since the 4.9.x series.
-* printer-applet has been replaced with print-manager since 4.10.x.
+This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.11.5 for Slackware 14.1 (and -current).
+These packages will not work on Slackware 14.0.
+
+Notable enhancements in the 4.11 release cycle are: more widespread use of
+Qt-Quick in Plasma Workspaces, faster Nepomuk indexing, Kontact improvements,
+OpenGL improvements in KWin (and a start of support for Wayland).
+
+The upgrade from Slackware 14.1's own 4.10.5 will be trivial.
+Only four packages outside KDE (the 'deps') need an update: akonadi, attica,
+shared-desktop-ontologies and soprano.
+
+Four KDE packages have been removed since the KDE 4.10.5 of Slackware 14.1:
+* kdeadmin, kdetoys, kdesdk and kdenetwork have been split up into smaller
+ individual packages since 4.10.5.
+
+I added a few experimental packages which are the future replacement of the
+networkmanagement widget. These packages are:
+libmm-qt, libnm-qt and plasma-nm. I am using these instead of the old
+networkmanagement, without any issues.
+
+I also provide a recompiled version of the calligra package which is part of
+Slackware 14.1. This rebuild was needed because of some updated libraries
+in KDE 4.11 which break calligra-words. You can still use Slackware's own
+language packs for calligra.
