Hi Timo,

thanks for looking at the sync request,

That's true, 1.8.0 isn't just a bugfix release. I still think that
syncing pushpin 1.8.0 and zurl 1.5.1 would be beneficial for 16.04 LTS:

The intention of the sync request is mainly to have a consistent codebase
for long term support. If 16.04 releases with a version based on Qt4,
the increased effort to backport bug fixes could mean that fixes are
delayed, or that less important fixes won't be backported, at all.

I have built both packages for debian unstable, jessie and wheezy, as
well as ubuntu trusty, vivid and wily.

If you think it will help getting the newer versions into
16.04 LTS, I can install Xenial and create the logs requested in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess#FeatureFreeze_Exceptions.
But please note that, as a debian developer, I don't have the required
ubuntu infrastructure readily available. So I'd rather not do that work
if it's unlikely to get the packages synced at all.

Best regards,
Jan
