Qt 5.6.0 released

I hope Debian unstable / testing now can move with updating KDE Plasma 5 to the latest version. Looks like they were stuck waiting for Qt update.

I'm actually running Debian testing with Plasma 5.4.3, and Plasma 5 has no hard build deps on Qt 5.6 yet. They also have 5.5.4 in experimental. So it's mostly that the Debian Qt/KDE team has a bit of a conservative approach to updating Plasma in unstable.

I'm using Debian testing too, and noticed the delay. Before, KDE Plasma was moving quite in timely manner in Debian. By now released version is already 5.5 and 5.6 approaching, and Debian still is stuck on the older one. There were some serious Qt bugs[1] which were causing a lot of instability which were fixed in Qt 5.6 so I thought this delay was related.
