Heya,

Just a FYI mostly for people contributing to qutebrowser:

The master branch is now headed towards a v2.0.0 release and I dropped
Python 3.5 support today:
https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/commit/685a66280aff600a83aa30da814aea63f0116c31

More breaking changes will follow soon-ish:
https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3Av2.0.0
(some of those changes will likely still be moved to a later milestone,
I haven't really looked through them yet)

This means if you're contributing to qutebrowser, you can now finally
use variable annotations and f-strings:
https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.6.html#pep-526-syntax-for-variable-annotations
https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.6.html#pep-498-formatted-string-literals

I've been waiting for this moment ever since f-strings were announced
somewhen back in 2015 :D

Florian
