KDE Frameworks are 70 addon libraries to Qt which provide a wide variety of commonly needed functionality in mature, peer reviewed and well tested libraries with friendly licensing terms. For an introduction see the Frameworks 5.0 release announcement.

New modules

KHolidays: Holiday calculation library

This library provides a C++ API that determines holiday and other
special events for a geographical region.

Purpose: Offers available actions for a specific purpose

This framework offers the possibility to create integrate services and actions
on any application without having to implement them specifically. Purpose will
offer them mechanisms to list the different alternatives to execute given the
requested action type and will facilitate components so that all the plugins
can receive all the information they need.
