Upgrading KDE in rawhide to Plasma 5

[Daniel Vrátil]

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
