+- Hints are now drawn natively in Qt instead of using web elements. This has a
+  few implications for users:
+    * The `hints -> opacity` setting does not exist anymore, but you can use
+      `rgba(r, g, b, alpha)` colors instead for `colors -> hints.bg`.
+    * The `hints -> font` setting is not affected by
+      `fonts -> web-family-fixed` anymore. Thus, a transformer got added to
+      change `Monospace` to `${_monospace}`.
+    * Gradients in hint colors can now be configured by using `qlineargradient`
+      and friends instead of `-webkit-gradient`. The most common cases get
+      migrated automatically, but if you drastically changed the defaults,
+      you'll need to manually adjust your config.
+    * Styling hints by styling `qutehint` elements in `user-stylesheet` was
+      never officially supported and does not work anymore.
+    * Hints are now not affected by the page's stylesheet or zoom anymore.
