+ New sddm.conf option SessionLogFile on XDisplay and WaylandDisplay
sections to change the default user session log location.

"arrowColor" property.
+ New "style" theme configuration for QtQuick Controls 2.0.
+ Require Qt 5.6 or better.
+ Enable HiDPI support.

+ Always fallback to an embedded theme if no suitable theme is found.
- Actually change Qt platform theme.
- Switch to Wayland session vt only when authentication
succeeds.
- Close PAM session.
- Delete PAM credentials after closing the session.
* More theme-neutral default user and root avatars
* REMOVED the "circles" theme. Remember to change it if you had it set!
* REMOVED the "maui" theme as a standalone theme as it is now
embedded in the greeter. Remember to change the theme to empty
if you had it set to "maui".
* Update Estonian translation.
* Add Catalan translation from Robert Antoni Buj Gelonch.
* Add Dutch translation from Eric Hameleers.
* Add Slovak translation from Martin Minka.
* Add Swedish translation from Kristoffer Grundström.
* Add Ukrainian translation from Cherevan Andriy.
* Add Indian flag from Sanjeev Premi.
It would be a pitty if these changes would have to be patched cherry-picked after release of 16.10 (that suggestion lies in the past now, sorry)
The Release-
This Release requires Qt-Version 5.6 or better. Thus it would NOT [3] qualify to be backported to Xenial-LTS - needs cherry'pickin.
Debian is already informed about this via their PTS [2]. There is appearently no action taken since - which would imply a FFe for 16.10 now. So, this shouldn't actually need another bug-report there then ;-)
Closing LP-bugs:
bug #1435321 – [upstream] keyboard focus not in password field
bug #1624268 – pam_mount crashing SDDM because helper don't close session after authentication
bug #1532381 – SDDM 0.13: kcmsddm shows old preview-picture of Maldives (reported upstream)
bug #1446760 – sddm and lightdm can run at the same time
Big thanks for the quality of life the Ubuntu-Flavors offer to the people around the world, beforehand.

Looks like I cannot confirm bugs on my own...
