[Development] HEADS UP: Qt 5.1.0 RC1 - merge stable into release

[Sergio Ahumada]

Hi,

We are about to start "Qt 5.1.0 RC1" release, which means that:

- We plan to do a fast-forward merge from 'stable' into 'release' branch 
on May 27th. So no CI involved here [1].

- After May 27th any changes that are required for 5.1.0 need to be 
pushed to the 'release' branch. So if your changes are not in by that 
day, please wait after the merge is done and re-target it to the 
'release' branch.

- Please note that string freeze will happen together with the merge. So 
if you have changes to the localized content, please stage them to 
'stable' branch immediately. [2]

The repositories that will be part of the Qt 5.1.0 RC1 release merge are:

- qtactiveqt
- qtbase
- qtdeclarative
- qtdoc
- qtgraphicaleffects
- qtimageformats
- qtjsbackend
- qtmultimedia
- qtquick1
- qtquickcontrols
- qtscript
- qtsensors
- qtserialport
- qtsvg
- qttools
- qttranslations
- qtwebkit
- qtwebkit-examples
- qtxmlpatterns
- qtx11extras

Cheers,
