Hi all,
this is an announcement that KDE SIG has pushed Plasma 5, the next major version of KDE workspaces, into rawhide as part of the Plasma 5 change for Fedora 22 [0].
The upgrade path from KDE 4 should be smooth and doable simply through yum update without any need for manual intervention, however if you run into any troubles related to Plasma/KDE we ask you to report them to KDE SIG.
If you want to know more about Plasma 5.2, you can check out the official release announcement [1]. If you are looking for something more exhausting to read while you are waiting for yum, you can read Kev Vermette's 10 pages of Plasma 5.2: Quintessential Breakdown [2] ;-).
For Fedora 20 and Fedora 21 users, Plasma 5 is still available through dvratil/plasma-5 Copr.
Cheers, Daniel

Considering that P5 is no longer compatible with legacy XEmbed systray, this probably also means that Qt5-compatible applications, that still compile against Qt 4 in Rawhide, should be reported, right? (Pure Qt apps use XEmbed with Qt4 but can use SNI with Qt5.)

We ship the Qt 4 patch from Kubuntu that adds support for the sni-qt plugin, and we also ship the plugin itself, you just have to install sni-qt to get SNI support for the Qt 4 QSystemTrayIcon.

Then the systray issue aside: Shouldn't Qt5-compatible applications, that currently compile against Qt4, migrate to Qt5 by default for F22 anyway? Off the top of my head, Cantata, KShutdown, and Qupzilla come to mind.

Yes, for F22, applications should migrate to Qt 5 where possible.
