Important Changes  
-----------------  
  
### qtbase  
* 41fabc9b27 Fix bug with NoFontMerging when font does not support  
script  
Fixed an issue with NoFontMerging and changing font families  
dynamically, where boxes would be seen in place of the correct text.  
  
* 07815c61d2 OpenSSL: Let people opt-in to use TLS 1.3 PSK callback  
When using TLS 1.3 we suppress the first callback from OpenSSL about  
pre-shared keys, as it doesn't conform to the past behavior which  
preSharedKeyAuthenticationRequired provided. With this update you can  
opt-out of that workaround by setting the QT_USE_TLS_1_3_PSK environment  
variable  
  
* bc36ae33e8 Fix license information for libjpeg-turbo  
Clarified that libjpeg-turbo is actually covered by three licenses, not  
only IJG.  
  
* 9929873fdf SQLite: Update SQLite to v3.36.0  
Updated SQLite to v3.36.0  
  
* ea5edb67a9 Update bundled libjpeg-turbo to version 2.1.1  
libjpeg-turbo was updated to version 2.1.1  
  
* b7598fd7e9 Fix querying font aliases that share name with other fonts  
Fixed an issue where some font styles and weights would not be  
selectable. This was especially noticeable on Windows.  
  
* 4851da1509 Update PCRE2 to 10.38  
PCRE2 has been updated to version 10.38.  
  
* 4c1a95efa9 Revert "Support family names that end/start with space"  
Fixed an assert that happened when the system had a font with a  
trailing or leading space in its name.  
  
### qtdeclarative  
* 4757cac470 Fix distorted text with subpixel matrix translation  
Fixed an issue where text using NativeRendering would look slightly  
skewed if it was inside a parent that had been positioned at a subpixel  
offset.  
  
### qtwayland  
* 36060ad8 Ignore viewporter buffer size when buffer is null  
Fixed an issue in the wp_viewporter extension, where it would emit a  
protocol error if the viewport was configured before attaching a buffer  
to the surface.  
  
* 3ff4cd60 Implement wp_viewporter support for video buffer formats  
Support for wp_viewporter extended to cover less common buffer formats.  
  
### qtimageformats  
* e8585ba Update bundled libwebp to version 1.2.1  
Update bundled libwebp to version 1.2.1
