Notable changes for future Qt version upgrade

Qt 5.13

• Added SplitView
• Added cache property to icon

Qt 5.14

• Applications can now opt-in to use non-integer scale factors.
  Use QGuiApplication::highDpiScaleFactorRoundingPolicy.

• Added qmlRegisterSingletonInstance function.
  This allows to expose a QObject as a singleton to QML, without having to
  create a factory function as required by qmlRegisterSingletonType.
  It is meant as a type safe replacement of setContextProperty.

• Added qmlRegisterAnonymousType as a replacement for qmlRegisterType.
  It allows to specify the URI and major version for better tooling support.

• qmllint gained an experimental -U option. If run with it, it warns about
  about accesses to unqualified identifiers

• Text and TextEdit now support Markdown format
  (CommonMark and GitHub dialects) as an alternative to HTML.
  Includes the GitHub checklist extension, such that you can click to toggle
  checkboxes in a TextEdit.

• TextEdit uses an I-beam cursor by default, and a pointing-hand cursor when
  hovering a checkbox or a link

• Added WheelHandler, an Event Handler for the mouse wheel, and optionally
  for emulated mouse wheel events coming from a trackpad.

• Added BoundaryRule in Qt.labs.animation: a PropertyValueInterceptor that
  restricts the range of values a numeric property can have, applies
  "resistance" when the value is overshooting, and provides the ability to
  animate it back within range. It's particularly useful in combination with
  WheelHandler, to provide similar physics as Flickable has.

• Image and BorderImage now have the same currentFrame and frameCount
  properties that AnimatedImage has; this allows choosing an individual icon
  from an .ICO file that contains multiple icons, for example.
  In the future it's intended to support other multi-page formats such as
  PDF, TIFF and WEBP.

Qt 5.15

• Introduced inline components
  (ability to declare multiple QML components in the same file)

• Introduced required properties

• Added a declarative way of registering types to QML

• Added support for the Nullish Coalescing Operator (??)

• Added qmlformat tool which automatically formats any QML file according to
  the QML Coding Conventions.

• Added cursorShape property to pointer handlers. Most pointer handlers
  (e.g. DragHandler) will change the cursor when the active state is true.
  HoverHandler will change it when the mouse is hovering over the Item that
  contains the HoverHandler.
