The latest addition to KDE Applications 15.04 after Kdenlive was added is KDE Telepathy.

Coming in April with KDE Applications 15.04 is the first release where the project has been fully ported over to Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5. The Qt5/KF5 port of Telepathy looks mostly the same from a UI perspective but internally there were changes within the project, a migration to Accounts SSO (KAccounts), KPeople is now a self-contained framework, etc.


Missing from Telepathy in KDE Applications 15.04 though is the Call UI, since none of the developers remaining are very familiar with the Telepathy calling stack and so they've had to set that work aside until finding a new maintainer.

More details on Telepathy in the modern KDE world can be found via this blog post.
