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

new is:
grub theme breeze-grub
plymouth theme breeze-plymouth
kactivitiies changes with kactivitymanagerd
split from framework-integration is plasma-integration

media center still in tech preview (but working looking likely for 5.7)
Happy packaging
