    Description

      Instead of following an individual versioning scheme, we should make all QML imports that are part of Qt modules available under X.<QT_MINOR_VERSION>.

      For the reasoning, see also https://quips-qt-io.herokuapp.com/quip-0099-qml-versioning.html .

      This is a change that already got started in 5.12, but not all modules have done the switch yet.

      In practice, this means

      Auto-register the import version in the C++ plugin:

              // Auto-increment the import to stay in sync with ALL future QtQuick minor versions from 5.11 onward
        qmlRegisterModule(uri, 1, QT_VERSION_MINOR);

      set IMPORT_VERSION in the plugins' .pro file:

      IMPORT_VERSION = 1.$$QT_MINOR_VERSION
[...]
load(qml_plugin)

      and adapting the documentation:

      \qmlmodule QtQuick.Layouts 1.\QtMinorVersion

[...]

The QML types can be imported into your application using the
following import statement in your .qml file.

\qml \QtMinorVersion
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.\1
\endqml
