Hi Milian & all other KDevelop contributors, 

half a year has passed since the last feature release (Feb 20th).

So I propose to branch off 5.6 at the end of next week and release the 5.6.0 
three weeks later, to flush to users relying on releases the small additions 
done in the last months.  Also make 5.5 EOL (unless grave bugs appear). 

And while I have almost no time reserved for KDevelop (like feature 
development or even reviews :/ ), that little time should be enough to apply 
my release muscle memories to help out with the release once more (to make 
this a constructive proposal :) ).

Proposed schedule:

Sunday, August 16th (CEST evening):
* branch off 5.6 from master
* string freeze in 5.6 branch

Monday, August 17th:
* 5.6 Beta 1 release

Monday, September 7th  (3 weeks after Beta 1):
* 5.6.0 release, unless release blockers found

If I hear no objections until proposed branching day, I would execute this 
plan :)

Cheers
Friedrich
