+- update to 2.17.1:
+  * New checks:
+    - staticFunction: detect functions that should have internal
+      linkage since they are not used outside of their translation
+      unit (C code only).
+    - Check null pointer return from memory/resource allocation
+      functions (nullPointerOutOfMemory,
+      nullPointerArithmeticOutOfMemory, nullPointerOutOfResources,
+      ctunullpointerOutOfMemory,
+      ctunullpointerOutOfResources).
+  * Changed interface:
+    - Added `reduced` check level. It can be activated with
+      `--check-level=reduced`. You get faster analysis
+      but some fewer results. The motivation is to be able to make
+      analysis time "acceptable" for direct usage.
+    - Added `--report-type` option. Enables printing of guidelines
+      and classifications for several coding
+      standards in place of the regular error identifiers and
+      severities.
+  * Other:
+    - Removed deperecated support for builds via qmake.
+    - Using a handwritten rule texts file for MISRA C addon
+      violates license and copyright terms. See the
+      manual for instructions how to download a official rule
+      texts file from MISRA.
+- switch to qt6
