Today KDE released KDE Applications 15.08, the collection of more than 150
applications. This release features the Kontact Suite and Dolphin ported to
KDE Frameworks 5.

Over the past several months, the KDE PIM team put a lot of effort into
porting Kontact to Qt 5 and KDE Frameworks 5. In addition, data access
performance has been improved considerably by an optimized communication
layer. The KDE PIM team is focused on further polishing the Kontact Suite, and
would appreciate feedback.

This release of Kdenlive includes fixes in the DVD wizard, along with many
bug-fixes and other features, including the integration of some bigger
refactorings. More information about Kdenlive changes can be seen in its
changelog. Okular now supports Fade transition in the presentation mode.

Dolphin was ported to KDE Frameworks 5. Marble now has improved UTM support as
well as better support for annotations, editing and "KML overlays.

This release continues the new style of releases, introduced with the latest
KDE Applications 14.12 release. Along with this release, KDE Workspaces (aka
Plasma 4) will be published for the last time in its Long Term Support version
(version 4.11.22).
