Hi translators,

last night string freeze has set in for the new stable KDevelop branch, 
5.6.
So please be invited to start translating the new strings or adapting to the 
changed ones in the following days.
This freeze affects all the catalogs of "kdevelop", "kdev-php", "kdev-python".

The needed changes to the infrastructure have been pushed yesterday (repo-
metadata, get_paths), so catalogs for stable contain the 5.6 strings since 
last night's scripty run.

Compared to 5.5, while there have almost no new features been added or UI been 
redesigned, you will still find that quite many strings got changed, mostly to 
get some UI context marker (e.g. "@action"). And while doing that, also some 
style issues for the original strings got detected and fixed.
While this means quite some work for you to fix all the now fuzzy or even no 
longer matching strings, we hope that the context markers make finding proper 
localized expressions more easy for you in the long term, and allow to deal 
with strings which were reused in the English version for multiple places, but 
would need different versions in your locales for those different places. 
After all that has been the purpose of those context markers, and they should 
have used by us from the beginning, right?

A first Beta release is planned for tonight, CEST evening. If nothing critical 
is found, the final 5.6.0 release shall happen in three weeks, on 
Monday, September 7th.

Thanks for your translations work :)

Cheers
Friedrich
