I applied the update today and all is well. The third party apps that I use: Libreoffice, VLC (Eric's versions) are unaffected, and Chrome is okay. Read Eric's blog post if you run KDE5.

Shared library .so-version bump.
This update is a bit painful in that it will require most third-party
packages using python3 to be recompiled. But, we needed to get this out
of the way before moving on to bigger and better things. :-)

Everything fine here. Slackware 64 current, with Libreoffice, VLC, Calibre and Chromium from AlienBob's repo. I also have the "compats" packages from AlienBob installed (boost-compat, icu4c-compat and poppler-compat).
I applied the update today and all is well. The third party apps that I use: Libreoffice, VLC (Eric's versions) are unaffected, and Chrome is okay. Read Eric's blog post if you run KDE5.
same here, thanks for the info

I suggest that you wait with upgrading to the latest -current for a short while. Give Pat a chance to add Plasma5 to Slackware
I'm not complaining, just making a little fun, hasn't it been a short while already?

Believe me, I have *no* problem holding off on any kind of system update until such time as these matters are sorted out, as I highly prize system stability above the burning need to update.
Supercollider's fine.
Audacity's fine.
OBS is fine.
Frescobaldi's a hot mess, but I kind of expected that. I think there are only two lilypond slackware users? I had to recompile every dependency for Frescobaldi. (Having learned from another Slackware-current breakage, I kept the source and slackbuild directories handy for a quick rebuild in the future.)
I thought lilypond, itself, was compiled against python, but I guess not...
Timing is everything. I just finished upgrading several programs I have to python3 from python2. I'm running ktown, I may wait on this one. One thing about -current, it keeps you on your toes. Then again I may give it a go... in VirtualBox.

What versions of Lilypond and Frescobaldi are you using? I've got 2.20 and 3.1.2, respectively, and they're both working just fine after the 25 Oct update. In addition, I haven't had to reinstall dependencies for them. I had not been able to get Frescobaldi 3.x to compile in Slackware 14.2, but since so many more of the dependencies are now a part of core Slackware it was much easier to do!
after upgrading everything looks fine so far,
except that my hp-printer-scanner was not found anymore!
But the problem is not in slackware, its a hp problem,
as in the "hplip-3.20.6"-package there is no model "b109a-m"
in the "models.dat" file anylonger.
In the shelves of google I found the solution by using
a patch which brings the printer back to hplip...
so I got it working again :-)

Oh wow. A third lilypond user! Same versions of both for me. (lilypond 2.20.0 and frescobaldi 3.1.2)
I had to recompile python-ly, python-poppler-qt5, and python3-pyqtwebengine. It'll run with just python-ly, but you don't get documentation and PDF handling without the later two.
Slackware 14.2 I was using Frescobaldi 2, but on current it's too old.
