Hey all, I'd like to ask again whether I could backport some performance improvements in QTextLayout/QTextEngine from Qt5 to Qt4.
Most notably there is https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,34112 which effects us in Kate/KDE as outlined here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=225228 The changeset above was merged in Qt5 and matured there, see https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,34118 What I propose is to sync the current status of QTextLayout/QTextEngine from Qt5, put it into a patchset for Qt4 and get it into the next Qt4 release. Would this be accepted? Or is there still a policy which forbids performance improvements to be merged into Qt4? Considering that the above makes the Kate editor practically useless for some files (freezes for multiple minutes), I personally see this as a bug fix anyways...
