Hi,
I've run the compatibility test against the 4.8.3 and 4.8.4 versions of
KDE-libs using the ABI Compliance Checker tool and got the following
report:
http://upstream-tracker.org/compat_reports/kde-libs/4.8.3_to_4.8.4/compat_report.html
The report shows that the API/ABI structure is not affected by this
update. Just 8 added symbols and 1 overridden.
There is also a visual diff report:
http://upstream-tracker.org/pkgdiff_reports/kde-libs/4.8.3_to_4.8.4/changes_report.html
For more info see: http://upstream-tracker.org/versions/kde-libs.html

Hello,
here at Debian we had a really bad experience with 4.8.4. While 4.8.3 was
pretty good, 4.8.4 seemed like a huge step backwards in terms of stability
(random crashes there and there). After quick investigation of kdelibs 4.8.4
I found the following:
$ diff -uNr kdelibs-4.8.3 kdelibs-4.8.4 | diffstat -f 3

I don't know yet if any other modules from 4.8.4 has been
mis-packaged in the same way
