Among the changes for KDE Frameworks 5.7.0 are many fixes for compiling with the Qt 5.5 tool-kit, a plotter component in KDeclarative, KIO improvements, fixed high-precision touchpad scrolling for KTextEditor, KWindowSystem enhancements, Plasma Framework improvements, and NetworkManagerQt now optionally supports NetworkManager 1.0.0.
