Next release 5.3.0

[TobiasNx]

We should prepare for the next release.

[dr0i]

This is a list of new features/bugfixes since the last release (5.2.0).
I propose to change the structure of the release information:
instead of categorizing issues into Bug fixes, New Features and Other, I think
most people are probably interested in specific modules they are working with, so
putting everything under those module names will make it easier for them to find
the relevant information.
Assigning a bunch of collaborators here to get some feedback about this proposal.

I'm -0 on this proposal. Categorizing by type of change appears to be the industry standard. We could prefix/tag individual entries with the relevant module name(s) to improve discoverability.

Add checkstyle and javadoc Fix javadoc errors #396

Checkstyle was added in #389.

[dr0i]

Added #389 to "checkstyle and javadoc".

I'm +0 on your proposal, resulting in this proposal:
