KDE Platform is the foundation for Plasma Workspaces and KDE Applications. The KDE team is currently working on the next iteration of the KDE Development Platform referred to as "Frameworks 5". While Frameworks 5 will be mostly source compatible, it will be based on Qt5. It will provide more granularity, making it easier to use parts of the platform selectively and reducing dependencies considerably. As a result, the KDE Platform is mostly frozen. Most Platform efforts went into bugfixing and performance improvements.
