[Releasing] [Development] HEADS-UP: Qt 5.15 Feature Freeze is in effect now

[Tuukka Turunen]

Great! Hopefully the remaining steps towards alpha go nicely. 

There are quite a few items not yet listed at: https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.15 

The new feature highlight is valuable for users, so please lift a few of the key items for each module into the list. Think what are the most important items to tell our users.

We should have more content in place before the alpha, and finalize this before the first beta release. 

Yours,

	Tuukka

    HeaderView change merged this morning:
    
    https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtquickcontrols2/+/270170
    
    so we should be good to go with the Alpha.
    
    Cheers,
