Hi,

All merges are now done, so changes required for Qt 5.2.0 need to be
pushed/re-targeted to the 'stable' branch from now on. No new features
are allowed unless they are approved by Lars.

Changes in the current 'dev' branch will be part of the Qt 5.3.0
release. Bumping the Qt version in 'dev' starts with
https://codereview.qt-project.org/66129 after 'dev' opens again in a
couple of days.

Cheers,
