15th November 2016. KDE today announces the release of KDE Frameworks 5.28.0.
KDE Frameworks are 70 addon libraries to Qt which provide a wide variety of· commonly needed functionality in mature, peer reviewed and well tested· libraries with friendly licensing terms. For an introduction see the· Frameworks 5.0 release announcement. New framework: syntax-highlighting Syntax highlighting engine for Kate syntax definitions This is a stand-alone implementation of the Kate syntax highlighting engine. It's meant as a building block for text editors as well as for simple highlighted text rendering (e.g. as HTML), supporting both integration with a custom editor as well as a ready-to-use QSyntaxHighlighter sub-class.
