Awesome, that's what I wanted to read. :-)

Yes, I completely understand, it also happened to me. I have a couple of 
projects at work where we use 5.2, and I had to override Qt's behaviour (for 
simple stuff like logging to the journal and configuring logging categories in a 
file) using the public API. That was simple, but the cool, mantainable way is 
of course adding the feature in Qt itself so all applications have it 
automatically. We didn't had the time, but luckily Robin and Kai added those 
exact two features to 5.3, so we can get rid of our custom code.

Definetely. And let us know if there is some way to help with these kind of 
things.

Greetings.
