September 12, 2014. KDE today announces the release of KDE Frameworks 5.2.0.

KDE Frameworks are 60 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.

KActivities

    reimplementation of the file item plugin for linking files to activities

KArchive

    fix handling of uncompressed files

KConfigWidgets

    fix missing default shortcuts for standard actions, leading to many runtime 
warnings
    better support for QGroupBox in KConfigDialogManager

KCoreAddons

    Mark KAboutData::setProgramIconName() as deprecated, it did not do 
anything. Use QApplication::setWindowIcon(QIcon::fromTheme("...")) instead.
    new classes Kdelibs4ConfigMigrator and KPluginMetaData

KDeclarative

    added org.kde.kio component.

KImageFormats

    disable the DDS and JPEG-2000 plugins when Qt version is 5.3 or later

KIO

    now follows the mime-apps spec, for better interoperability with gio when 
it comes to the user's preferred and default apps.
    new classes EmptyTrashJob and RestoreJob.
    new functions isClipboardDataCut and setClipboardDataCut.

KNewStuff

    installing "stuff" works again (porting bug)

KWidgetsAddons

    new class KColumnResizer (makes it easy to vertically align widgets across 
groups)

KWindowSystem

    New method KWindowSystem::setOnActivities

KXmlGui

    KActionCollection::setDefaultShortcuts now makes the shortcut active too, 
to simplify application code.

Threadweaver

    The maximum worker count will now decrease if a lower value is set after 
workers have been created. Previously, workers would remain active once they 
have been created.
    Examples from the previous ThreadWeaverDemos Github repository are being 
merged into the KF5 ThreadWeaver repo.
    The maximum worker count can now be set to zero (the previous minimum was 
1). Doing so will effectively halt processing in the queue.
    Documentation of various aspects of ThreadWeaver use is becoming part of 
the KDE Frameworks Cookbook. Parts of it is located in the examples/ 
directory.

Buildsystem changes

    Support for relative libexec dir.

Frameworkintegration

    the file dialog now remembers its size correctly, and works better with 
remote URLs.
