The release is in 2 days...11 September.

It would help promo to translate these capabilities into language that 
users could understand and appreciate. Can this be done in the time 
available? Maybe it would be better for a big announcement for 5.3 (9 
October)

There is promo value in continuing to publicize KF5 and the intention of 
making Frameworks available to the broad Qt community. For that reason, 
it would be good to include KF5 details too. For example:

This release fixes an issue with the KConfigWidgets framework where 
missing default shortcuts for standard actions caused too many warnings. 
Now users will not be bothered when they use standard shortcuts. (Or 
something like that).
