Hi,

to make contributing to your favourite project(s) even easier, a gerrit 
plugin has been started (commits 
88bc6df12f6e037bc5973b38a538b5748c25acc4, 
2193915cca82693abd0cbe69670dfee14212b6bf to Qt Creator, master).

The git menu now features a 'Gerrit...' option which (after popping up 
the settings dialog asking you to enter your user name and the path to 
ssh in case it is not yet configured) brings up a dialog listing your 
changes and the changes waiting for your review.

The "Diff", "Apply" buttons bring up a file dialog asking you for the 
repository (pre-set to a default value determined from the projects 
currently open) and then retrieve and display or apply the change. This 
removes the need to copy and paste the commands from the Web interface.

It is also possible to add custom queries to the dialog. For example, 
"status:staged" shows the changes staged for the continuous integration 
system of the Qt project.

Regards,
Friedemann

Known issues: Special characters will not be displayed correctly when 
using Qt 4 due to the deficiencies of the Json-parser. When compiled 
against Qt 5, the QtJson-classes will be used.
