With KDE 4.5 3 four new libraries were added to kdelibs: the kemoticons library, the kidletime library, the kcmutils library and the kprintutils library. These libraries come with their associated variables. So if you want to link against these libraries, use ${KDE4_KEMOTICONS_LIBS}, ${KDE4_KIDLETIME_LIBS}, ${KDE4_KCMUTILS_LIBS} and ${KDE4_KPRINTUTILS_LIBS} respectively. They don't require an additional include directory. | With KDE 4.5 3 four new libraries were added to kdelibs: the kemoticons library, the kidletime library, the kcmutils library and the kprintutils library.

Starting with KDE 4.5, CMake >= 2.6.4 is required.
Starting with KDE 4.5, CMake >= 2.6.4 is required (KDE 4.2 to 4.4 required 2.6.2).
The commit policy introduced during the 4.3 development cycle is still active and must be followed.
A lot of work went into FindQt4.cmake. This includes:
Imported Targets
FindQt4.cmake now creates an imported library target for each of the Qt libraries which has been found. These imported targets can then be used like "normal" targets in CMakeLists.txt, e.g. in TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(). These imported targets are named "Qt4::<library name>", e.g. Qt4::QtCore or Qt4::QtGui. This brings several advantages:
If the variable QT_USE_IMPORTED_TARGETS is set to TRUE before FindQt4.cmake is executed, also the Qt library variables like QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY are set to point to these imported targets instead to the file path. This is the case automatically when doing a find_package(KDE4).

but you can set it to a tool to serialize resource-intensive commands in parallel builds.
Some completely new installed modules have been added during this cycle:
Also added were FindDocBookXML.cmake and FindDocBookXSL.cmake, but both are used only internally inside kdelibs and both are not installed.
