[Development] New qt5.6 beta snapshot available

[Hausmann Simon]

Hi,

Namespaced builds are only tested on Linux IIRC, not os x. Similarly static builds happen for ios, where the plugin loading code is probably not used.

well, both should be trivially fixable, once CI won't fail with an FTP

since when are namespace builds tested? it must be something rather new,
as about a month ago i had to apply this fix [1] to compile qt-5.6-base
... and i remember similar fixes which i had to do for 5.4/5.5.
