Update porting guide for positioner handling of item opacity
Also moved some items from the release notes that are more appropriate for the porting guide. Change-Id: I0abe4dd5e74ac5505e1210bb330cc55af9e657da Reviewed-by: Alan Alpert <alan.alpert@nokia.com>

+QtQuick 2.0 includes a number of behavioral changes and you should thoroughly test your applications after
porting. These changes will not necessarily lead to run-time errors, but may break certain assumptions in your code.

+ keyboard input, but still stops mouse input. The new \l{Item::}{enabled} property stops mouse and keyboard input, but does not affect how or whether
+ the item is rendered. A workaround for applying the old behavior in most cases is to bind enabled to
+ \tt {(visible && opacity > 0.0)}.
+\li Previously, if an item was in a positioner (i.e. a \l Row, \l Column, \l Grid and \l Flow)
+ and the item's \c opacity changed to 0, or its \c visible value became \c false, the positioner
+ would remove the item from its layout and collapse the space for that item. In QtQuick 2.0, this
+ now only happens when an item's \c visible is \c false; the item opacity no longer affects whether
+ the item is laid out. (This is consistent with the existing behavior of ListView and GridView).
+\endlist
+
+Text:
+
+\list
+\li The TextEdit::textFormat property now defaults to \c PlainText instead of \c AutoText.
+\li When Text::textFormat is set to \c Text.AutoText format, the text object will automatically
+ switch to \c Text.StyledText instead of \c Text.RichText.
\endlist
+Other:
+
+\list
+\li Modifying the Image::sourceSize now fits the image to the size, maintaining aspect
+ ratio.
+\li For ListView and GridView, the \c cacheBuffer property now has a non-zero default and
+ delegates in the cache buffer are created asynchronously. Also, using a \c RightToLeft layout
+ now also reverses the \c preferredHighlightBegin and \c preferredHighlightEnd.
+\li For \l Loader, the \c sourceChanged and \c sourceComponentChanged signals are now only emitted
+ when their respective properties change value. (Previously \l Loader emitted both of these signals
+ when either of the relevant properties had changed.)
