This is a maintenance release of the Qt 5.15 release series. It focuses on
bug and security fixes. The feature that made me update this package was
the broken u2f support in QtWebEngine when used together with
Qutebrowser. It previously (on older Qt versions) used to work but
stopped working with the switch to 5.15.

As the changelog is rather extensive the reader is advised to inspect
[0] to checkout the changes to each of the components of their
interest.

This also fixes a security issue with QtWebEngine based browsers that
could be crashed by visiting a website that invokes certain WebRTC
features [1].

(cherry picked from commit dd6446e)
Qt 5.15 carried a change that renamed a getter for the socket error. In
a later relase that change was reverted (to be less ambiguous) thus now
 those that had picked up the change in API had to change their code.
 This has now been reverted [0] and thus the consumers also have to
 revert their changes…

(cherry picked from commit 5af26a1)
This keeps the PyQt5 version in sync with the Qt release. While it is
apparently not strictly required it is probably not the worst idea to do
this.

(cherry picked from commit 672e363)
Obsolete methods were still in use when 20.08 was released.
This patch ports away from them.
