Release announcement copied from
[http://davidrosca.blogspot.co.uk/2018/02/falkon-300-released.html]
"The new version is 3.0.0. It uses cmake and requires extra-cmake-modules.
Optional deps of KF5Wallet and two Python3 modules, PySide2 and Shiboken,
for plugins - but PySide2 is not yet released
Falkon is a new KDE web browser, previously known as QupZilla. Following
this release, there will only be one last final QupZilla release.
If you were previously using QupZilla, you can manually migrate your
profiles to Falkon by moving the config directory (usually in
~/.config/qupzilla/).
There is no automatic migration.
Apart from some under the hood changes, like changing build system from
qmake to CMake or using XDG paths, there aren't many differencies from
QupZilla.
There is a new extension - Vertical Tabs, but it will also be available
later this week in last QupZilla release.
It is possible to write Falkon extensions in Python, but since the
bindings are generated using PySide2 which is not yet released and thus
not packaged by distributions, it won't be currently available for users.
Windows and macOS support is not yet finished, it will be available
later."
Apart from using cmake, it requires extra-cmake-modules. I have no idea at
the moment what the dependencies for kwallet are.
