Today, the KDE community has made available the first first stable release of 
Frameworks 5. At the Randa Meetings back in 2011, we started work on porting 
KDE Platform 4 to Qt 5. But as part of this effort, we also began modularizing 
our libraries, integrating portions into Qt 5 proper and modularizing the rest 
so applications can just use the functionality they need. Today you can save 
yourself the time and effort of repeating work that others have done, relying 
on over 50 Frameworks [1] with mature, well tested code. For a full list and 
technical details coders can read the API documentation.

On Linux, using packages [2] for your favorite distribution is the recommended 
way to get access to KDE Frameworks.

Frameworks 5.0 requires Qt 5.2. It represents the first in a series of planned 
monthly releases making improvements available to developers in a quick and 
predictable manner.

Those interested in following and contributing to the development of 
Frameworks can check out the git repositories, follow the discussions on the 
KDE Frameworks development mailing list [3] and send in patches through review 
board.

KDE is always looking for new volunteers and contributions, whether it is help 
with coding, bug fixing or reporting, writing documentation, translations, 
promotion, money, etc. All contributions are gratefully appreciated and 
eagerly accepted. KDE is currently running a fundraiser [4] to make the Randa 
Meetings 2014 possible. Your contribution is crucial to make an event like 
this possible - and with that, projects like KDE Frameworks!
