The latest pinned Qt5 hash works fine - 1baa51c3d06dfaf08afe16e3e7dd77a63052a419 I tried to do update it to 59eebee2600505b2d207d651fb5aa0da979f0f6a, but I got a strange font related problem. Almost all tests ~5500 fail, because the default font is changed for some reason. :-/ We should find the reason and fix it before updating. I don't thinks if skipping ~5500 tests is a good idea and we can't check ~5500 manually and then maintain ~5500 expected files for Qt 4.8 and Qt 5.0 parallel. :( Simon, Balázs, you are font experts. Could you check what happened?
I'll attach png results soon.

I forgot to mention, if you would like to debug, you have to apply the buildfix from bug79328 for the newer Qt5.
I spent a bit of time looking into this and this is what I think happened: There are two differences that we can observe, a difference in _metrics_ (*-expected.txt) as well as in the _visual rendering_ (attached png files). I do believe the difference in the png files is _not_ caused by any _recent_ changes (i.e. from last week's qt5 pinned hash to current one), but by some more general changes in Qt 5. I don't think we should do anything about them until we drop support for Qt 4. The difference in _metrics_ I believe is caused by an intentional behavioural change in Qt 5 http://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,15169 (or by one of its follow-up patches). I'm looking into compensation for this in WebKit to give us Qt 4 like results. In the future perhaps we can make the Qt 4 rendering behave like Qt 5 (in terms of metrics) and rebase all our results (or drop qt4 and rebase anyway).
