Public bug reported:

With the latest landing in RTM (1.3.4-0ubuntu0.14.10.1) Oxide seems to
have an ABI break in its QML plugin.

This deduction comes from webbrowser-app exhibiting broken behaviour
which fixes itself when the QML cache is wiped. The QML cache on device
makes assumptions about ABI stability for QML plugins regarding ordering
of property helpers and order of invokables, as well as the placement of
any static data that comes with the provider class. If there is no bump
in the version of the QML plugin when a change happens, odd behaviour
like this can result.

Its worth to investigate if there is indeed an ABI change in the QML
plugin code that would cause the property cache of the QML tree to
differ from the previous version, and if so, bump the plugin's minor
version.
