KDE Frameworks is released on a monthly basis to ensure that developers will always have access to bug fixes or new features as soon as possible. The Plasma workspaces and KDE applications have their own release schedules as well. Sometimes, however, distros don't always provide the latest version of KDE software that you might need. If that's the case, you might have to compile the framework from the source. Not to worry, it's not as daunting or complicated as in the past.
