k3b Confusion

Installed: k3b-* 1:2.0.3-12 k3b-extras-freeworld 1:2.0.3-6 About a week ago, k3b-1:17.04.1-1 came out. Going by the numbering, this is an older version (?), but it is presented as an update to 2.0.3. It does not update because of a missing freeworld and other problems. What is this new k3b? Does it reflect the new licensing, by incorporating the codecs into the main package so that freeworld has become obsolete? Or are we waiting for a freeworld partner package?
