Important Changes  
-----------------  
  
### qtbase  
* f411be7a4a sqlite: Upgrade to 3.33.0  
Upgraded to v3.33.0  
  
* 47a842ee0c Fix included license text for PCRE2 - Stack-less Just-In-  
Time Compiler  
Changed license text of "PCRE2 - Stack-less Just-In-Time Compiler"  
component. The documentation (incorrectly) included the generic PCRE2  
license so far.  
  
* e2c0cc9bb3 Avoid integer overflow and division by zero  
Pen patterns are restrained to a maximum length and values of 1024,  
fixing oss-fuzz issue 25310.  
  
* 0943ad0241 Containers: call constructors even for primitive types  
The semantics of Q_PRIMITIVE_TYPE have been slightly changed. Qt now  
value-initializes types marked as primitive (which, by default, include  
trivial types) instead of simply using memset(0), which is wrong in some  
corner cases.  
  
* 5d33ae6d94 Update bundled libjpeg-turbo to version 2.0.6  
libjpeg-turbo was updated to version 2.0.6

libjpeg-turbo was updated to version 2.0.6  
  
* 391c9f6e66 Update bundled libjpeg-turbo to version 2.1.0  
libjpeg-turbo was updated to version 2.1.0  
  
### qtwayland  
* b2ee9ff3 Client: Fix reverse screen order  
Fixed a bug where QGuiApplication::screens() and primaryScreen() would  
return initial screens in the reverse order they were added by the  
compositor. QGuiApplication::primaryScreen() will now return the first  
output added by the compositor.  
  
* 8fe61d79 Fix leaked subsurface wayland items  
Fixed a memory leak when creating subsurfaces.  
  
### qtimageformats  
* 7addba2 Update bundled libtiff to version 4.2.0
