Summary

Qt5 - QtWebEngine components.

This update rebases QtWebEngine to the latest Qt 5 release, 5.15.2, fixing

dozens of security issues. (The same version is already shipped on Fedora 33 and

Rawhide.) The included kf5-messagelib update backports a fix for compatibility

with QtWebEngine 5.15.x. The Chromium version has been updated to

83.0.4103.122, with backported security fixes from Chromium up to version

86.0.4240.183. That fixes dozens of security issues compared to 5.14.2. This

version also adds the Qt PDF module, a Qt wrapper around PDFium. This is a

separate library and cannot cause backwards compatibility issues. In addition,

several bugs have been fixed, see the Changes files: *

Behavior Changes since 5.14.2: * XSS Auditing has been removed, and the

XSSAuditingEnabled setting no longer has any effect. * [QTBUG-79864] The viz

display compositor is now used by default on all platforms, but can be disabled

with --disable-viz-display-compositor. * The network layer integration has been

rewritten to use Chromium's network service, and now runs in a separate

sandboxed process by default. * [QTBUG-83656] CTRL+mouse wheel page zoom fixed,

and now works by default.
