Neither of these will be shipped in the stable tarballs.

Copying or moving can create two running jobs in Jobs applet with KDE Frameworks 5.6 - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342276 - fixed with kio 5.7
Battery applet shows seconds in remaining time with KDE Frameworks 5.6 - fixed with kdeclarative 5.7
Very big wallpaper images can appear not as sharp - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338506
Undo'ing applet remove may put it into slightly different position than it was before, it is fixed and after testing this may end up in 5.2.1

Tooltips on window decoration buttons
Oxygen window decoration

 == Configuration changes ==
-== Performance ==
-Performance of Plasma 5 is heavily dependent on specific hardware and software configurations and usage patterns. While it has great potential, it takes time to wrangle this out of it and the underlying stack is not entirely ready for this either. In some scenarios, Plasma 5 will display the buttery smooth performance it is capable of - while at other times, it will be hampered by various shortcomings. These can and will be addressed, however, much is dependent on components like Qt, Mesa and hardware drivers lower in the stack. Future releases are expected to bring significant performance improvements thanks to fixes at all levels.
