Mobile

• The "Blue Crystal" theme (which was previously contained in the "sap.m" control library) has now been moved out to its own library "themelib_sap_bluecrystal". So if your application uses this theme, you need to add this one to the dependencies.
• sap.m.RatingIndicator?: a rating control has been added to the library, this control is still experimental
