Since the KF5 libraries and the applications will not have a
synchronized release schedule any more, it does not make sense to
continue using KDE_VERSION_STRING as the Dolphin version.
This does not work properly yet, there are probably quite a few bad signal/
slot connections due to KUrl -> QUrl. However dolphin starts without
crashing.
Accessibility is not ported since that changed quite a lot from Qt4 -> Qt5
and I have no idea how it is supposed to be used.
This is the first commit for review 117395
This has some advantages:
(a) The version actually changes for every bug fix release, making it
easier to find out which version a bug reporter has used.
(b) No changes in Dolphin's source code are required to keep the version
always up to date.
(c) It is more transparent for users because there are not two different
versions any more.
Emmanuel has contributed a lot of useful patches to Dolphin. Thank you
very much for that! The Dolphin community is looking forward to further
contributions from you.

The scaling of pixmaps is just way too slow with the raster graphicssystem (see KPixmapModifier::scalePixmap()). It is of course still possible to run Dolphin
with the raster graphicssystem, but this has to be done explicitly then.
CCBUG: 290865
Dolphin 2.0 will get a new view-engine with the
following improvements:
- Better performance
- Animated transitions
- No clipped filenames due to dynamic item-sizes
- Grouping support for all view-modes
- Non-rectangular selection areas
- Simplified code for better maintenance
More details will be provided in a blog-entry during
the next days.
Please note that the code is in a very
early alpha-stage and although the most tricky parts
have been implemented already very basic things like
drag and drop or selections have not been pushed yet.
Those things are rather trivial to implement but this
still will take some time.
A possible crash in one Dolphin window should not result in crashing
other Dolphin windows. Beside this it also prevents issues with
modal dialogs or notifications.

FIXED-IN: 4.7.0
Also fixed a few typos where I noticed them.
Please don't do huge sweeping changes of KAboutData things without talking to the authors first. I'm sure they don't appreciate having their names removed from the about dialogs.
Note that
(a) the unicode copyright character is no more enforcible than (c)
(b) while "the KDE developers" is not a legal entity, neither is "Dolphin authors"
(c) it was decided a while back that we don't care about whether the copyrights in about dialogs are meaningful, since they can't hope to encompass everyone who holds copyrights on the application code or any of the libraries it is linked to; the copyright headers in the source files are the important ones.
I realise that I'm reverting more than necessary, but that's just a reason for breaking up commits :-)
