+****************************************************************************
+* PySide6 *
+****************************************************************************
+
+ - setup.py now uses CMake Unity Build Mode by default.
+ - The namespace QAudio has been renamed to QtAudio in Qt 6.7. An alias
+ has been created, but it may not work in all cases.
+ - pyside6-project now has an lupdate mode updating translation files (.ts)
+ from the sources.
+ - Python code has been updated to be free of flake8 warnings using
+ a custom configuration.
+ - For deployment, the supported version of Nuitka has been raised to 2.1.0.
+ - singleShot timers with a timeout of 0 now call the C++ function (which
+ directly calls QMetaObject::invokeMethod) instead of manually creating and
+ starting a timer object, slightly improving performance.
+ - [PYSIDE-769] QtAsyncio: Fix a missing attribute error on Windows. Fix
+ - [PYSIDE-2641] QtAsyncio.run() not returning the result of a coroutine. It
+ is now possible to disable the signal handler for SIGINT by
+ passing a parameter to run(). The loop policy is reset after
+ run() finishes.
+ - [PYSIDE-838] Functions qCompress/qUncompress() taking a PyBuffer/len
+ arguments have been fixed.
+ - [PYSIDE-1106] Documentation: Decorators, global functions and enumerations
+ are now documented add indexed from the module page. The class
+ documentation now uses more sphinx domain directives.
+ Pages for all tools have been added. The order of the examples
+ list has been changed to show relevant examples first.
+ - [PYSIDE-1275] QObject.disconnect() now returns False with a warning instead
+ of raising an exception for non-fatal cases.
+ - [PYSIDE-1612] Deployment: Issues when using pyenv have been fixed. The
+ finding of dependent modules has been improved. On Windows,
+ this now requires the dumpbin tool, which is added to the path
+ by calling the vcvarsall.bat script of Microsoft Visual
+ Studio.
+ - [PYSIDE-1612] Android Deployment: The NDK version in the tool has been
+ updated. Python has been updated to 3.11. CMake version 3.23
+ is now required. The wheels are no longer built with
+ --limited-api. The generated pysidedeploy.spec has an explicit
+ group called `android` which stores the wheels and plugins.
+ - [PYSIDE-1906] Hash value calculation has been optimized.
+ - [PYSIDE-2206] The colorpaletteclient demo as well as the hellographs and
+ simplerhiwidget examples have been added.
+ - [PYSIDE-2215] Intersphinx support has been improved.
+ - [PYSIDE-2280] A type for os.PathLike type hints has been added.
+ - [PYSIDE-2404] Application startup time has been significantly decreased
+ by creating the types on demand. The importing of numpy
+ has also been deferred since it caused quite some delay.
+ - [PYSIDE-2432] A static create() function for decorated QML singletons
+ has been added.
+ - [PYSIDE-2484] The QML type registration code has been ported to use
+ RegisterTypeAndRevisions.
+ - [PYSIDE-2535] Obtaining DBUS properties from QDBusInterface has been fixed.
+ As a consequence though, it is no longer possible to derive a
+ Python class with signals/slots from QDBusInterface.
+ - [PYSIDE-2504] Documentation: Option 'build_rst_docs' has been deprecated in
+ favor of 'build_base_docs'.
+ - [PYSIDE-2524] It is now possible to connect signals to slots/lambdas with
+ more arguments provided they have default parameters.
+ - [PYSIDE-2524] The signal connection code has been optimized.
+ - [PYSIDE-2543] QtQuickTest has been added.
+ - [PYSIDE-2576] Documentation: The extendedexplorer tutorial has been improved.
+ - [PYSIDE-2590] Some fixes have been made be able to cope with namespaced Qt
+ builds.
+ - [PYSIDE-2610] The QTextureImageData methods returning an enumeration of
+ QOpenGLTexture have been added.
+ - [PYSIDE-2605] An error about the C++ object being deleted when calling
+ QWidget.style() in an embedded application has been fixed.
+ - [PYSIDE-2468] Deployment: Support for the Qt permission API has been added.
+ macOS bundle applications are now created.
+ - [PYSIDE-2597] Desktop Deployment: The the plugins included have been
+ optimized.
+ - [PYSIDE-2633] C++ typedefs of container instantiations are now
+ registered in Python under their name, making possible
+ to decorate slots with those names (for example,
+ "QRemoteObjectSourceLocation").
+ - [PYSIDE-2639] Segmentation fault with QLocale.system() has been fixed.
+ - [PYSIDE-2652] A bug when passing values of unsigned long long type
+ exceeding the long long maximum value to float
+ parameters has been fixed.
+ - [PYSIDE-2663] A crash in QtWebEngine browsing https://outlook.com has been
+ fixed.
+ - [PYSIDE-2668] A bug when comparing QOperatingSystemVersion::OSType
+ has been fixed.
+ - [QTBUG-119785] The Filesystemexplorer-example has been updated.
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Shiboken6 *
+****************************************************************************
+
+ - [PYSIDE-31] Shiboken.wrapInstance() now returns existing instances
+ (preserving ids).
+ - [PYSIDE-560] libshiboken/Limited API: No longer needed PyTypeObject slots
+ have been disabled in the PyTypeObject helper struct.
+ - [PYSIDE-1106] A typesystem attribute providing a hint to a documentation
+ file has been added to function/enum type entries
+ (for globals).
+ - [PYSIDE-1106] Documentation can now be injected from separate .rst files.
+ - [PYSIDE-1106] Documentation injected into classes with "append" will now
+ be appended to the class description instead of being written
+ at the end of the page.
+ - [PYSIDE-1106] Documentation: It is now possible to inject documentation
+ for parameters of added functions.
+ - [PYSIDE-2230] Python 3.12: Hidden Type Extensions according to PEP 697
+ are now used instead of shadow dictionaries.
+ - [PYSIDE-2404] The generated type index constants are no longer in
+ uppercase. Uppercase is retained until deprecation in
+ PySide7.
+ - [PYSIDE-2447] A typesystem attribute to generate submodules has been added.
+ - [PYSIDE-2535] Generating the Qt meta object functions handling the PySide6
+ signals can now be disabled by a typesystem attribute. This
+ is useful for classes using dynamic meta objects, for
+ example QDBusInterface.
