Great, thanks a lot for such a fast response!
BTW, 4.9.5 wasn't there either, so I guess the problem is not so recent.
The dependency issue I reported
earlier is still a problem, but the workaround still works. Could the two problems be connected?
Another (new) thing is that the map widget doesn't work in the new version. Neither in "all" nor in the "map" views. Only the +/- and the hamburger menu are shown there, but not the map itself. Running from command line gives the following:
QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread
qrc:/qml/MapWidget.qml:24: Error: Cannot assign [undefined] to QDeclarativeGeoMapType*
