Can anyone elaborate on "prepares the ground for future developments using Wayland and Qt 5."? Does it have any impact on this release? On the face of it, it looks like justification for not being able to list more user visible features. Does anybody know any different?

It's in a paragraph about KDE Software Compilation 4.11, which has indeed been preparing for Qt 5 and Wayland by porting additional shell elements to QML and further work on X11-independence in the window manager. The Kubuntu team specifically has also been looking into packaging the stack bits that will eventually be needed; I don't know how that translates into packages in this release. Specifically in the context of a Kubuntu announcement it might be mostly there to reassure people Kubuntu isn't having a problem due to Canonical's work on Mir.
