Packagers should note the new errata on Qt 5.6:

Freezes Using Qt 5.6

http://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-51676
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359611

When using Qt 5.6 Plasma loads itself incompletely and with long
delays. Deadlocks occur in kded5. A potential patch fix is available
but it is unclear how successful this is
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/151459/

new is:
 grub theme breeze-grub
 plymouth theme breeze-plymouth
 kactivitiies changes with kactivitymanagerd
 split from framework-integration is plasma-integration
 and a preview of simplesystray an experimental systray replacement
 media center still in tech preview (but working looking likely for 5.7)

Happy packaging

Jonathan
