November 13, 2015. KDE today announces the release of KDE Frameworks
5.16.0.

KDE Frameworks are 60 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.

This release is part of a series of planned monthly releases making
improvements available to developers in a quick and predictable manner.

Moving to hold. Will wait for two weeks and then update to 5.17.

If they are going to update every month, we can skip every other one. We will plan on updating to the latest before the next stable BLFS release. The freeze for that will be mid February.

The only use of qca in BLFS is for kdelibs (e.g. qt4 based), but I plan on adding instructions for qt5 also in order to future-proof the package.

KDE Frameworks 5.17 was released Dec 6.

Updated to kf5-5.17 but leaving open to address font packages in the upstream kf5 directory (which is new).

The fonts should go in /usr/share/fonts and not $KF5_PREFIX so they need separate pages in the book.
