Fixes, yes.

But you cannot commit major refactorings to improve stability in an patch 
release, especially not the LTS release. Remember that 5.6 is also the last 
release to support WEC7, so you cannot risk its stability for a platform 
that's only experimental.

Users wanting WEC2013 support are advised to upgrade to Qt 5.7 as soon as 
possible and not stay in 5.6.
