+QtScript: Changes due to updating src/3rdparty/javascriptcore:
+ - It is no longer possible to delete an undeletable property from C++
+ using QScriptValue::setProperty().
+ - The QScriptEngineAgent::positionChange() callback will always report
+ a column number of 1.
+ - QScriptValueIterator will include the "length" property when iterating
+ over Array objects.
+
+QtCore:
+ - QChar no longer carries the Q_PACKED tag on ARM. This flag was
+ used to allow proper alignment of QChar on 2 bytes on older ARM
+ ABIs, but it also allowed for unaligned access. Qt never generates
+ or uses unaligned access and the new EABI aligns as expected, so
+ the flag was removed.
+
+QtNetwork:
+ - Qt does no longer provide its own CA bundle, but uses system APIs for
+ retrieving the default system certificates. On Symbian,
+ QSslSocket::systemCaCertificates() provides an empty list of
+ certificates.
