There are only 6 changes in qtdeclarative.

Here is the merge for you: https://codereview.qt-project.org/191380

I normally will do merge if more than 10 changes, asked by someone, or just
before some releases(like 5.9 rc) and etc.

Certainly, there will be merges when 5.8 branch were closed. Don't worry
about that.

Best Regards,
Liang
