Plasma depends against on qt5.5 and it will depend against 5.6.1 when release 
(as I read).
So Qt5.4 is not the minimum requires.
After that I worked to port to qtwebengine and my focus for 16.08 is to 
migrate all to qtwebengine.
So I will not wait 2 years to make it.
I work a lot on it so I will switch in several weeks.

I worked a lot on qtwebengine now I can't continue if I don't increase 
dependancy so for sure I will do.

So I decided to prepare it to increase dependancy,

Indeed.
I am my plan for 16.08 I will continue this plan.

If you want to continue to use master you need qt5.6 (and I am sure that you 
have it on your computer or you are able to build it).
