KDE Frameworks 5.28.0 released

[David Faure]

15th November 2016. KDE today announces the release of KDE Frameworks 5.28.0.

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 framework: syntax-highlighting
Syntax highlighting engine for Kate syntax definitions

This is a stand-alone implementation of the Kate syntax highlighting engine.
It's meant as a building block for text editors as well as for simple

custom editor as well as a ready-to-use QSyntaxHighlighter sub-class.
