    * Milian Wolff: reintroduce the cleanup of 986ec7bb18211a7789e28c48fdc750668ae9b1d5 (no addViewSilently, no window->setArea in working set loadToArea), but fix the problem described in 2f586e506ac59153b0b95e008acc88cea490e7d3 (restoring of split views)
    * Nicolás Alvarez: DumpChain: avoid double quotes around indentation in debug messages.

    * Milian Wolff: properly sort kcms in settings dialog: language support user interface projects background parser source formatter environment plugins

    * Milian Wolff: port background parser away from slow QPointer to faster QWeakPointer, esp. useful for big projects

    * Milian Wolff: second approach: properly implement removeRows without takeRow and speed up deletion of folders containing many items
    * Milian Wolff: Revert "optimize shutdown for big projects with lots of items in single folders"
    * Milian Wolff: optimize shutdown for big projects with lots of items in single folders
    * Milian Wolff: Refactor context browser plugin to make it useable without a toolview.

    * Milian Wolff: hide void-returning functions from code completion when we are inside an non-lvalue expression
    * Aleix Pol: Support as variables, variables that end with a number. This small problem made macro_optional_find_package not to work, have to be careful about that.
    * Aleix Pol: Don't propagate the URL change if the URL hasn't changed. Damn it, trailing slashes!! >.<
    * Aleix Pol: We don't need this recursive case anymore. The url change will be propagated by ProjectFolderItem itself.
