# General
* A new freedesktop module helps UNIX application developers to follow the
freedesktop.org guidelines.
* The Android module now allows resourcesDir, sourcesDir and assetsDir to be
specified as relative paths.
* A new ConanfileProbe allows better and more flexible integration of Qbs and
the Conan package manager.
* A new hostArchitecture property has been added to the qbs module.
# Language
* List properties in modules are now merged according to inter-module
dependencies. This is important when flags like cpp.staticLibraries are
contributed by multiple modules with dependencies between each other.
(QBS-1517).
* Dependency matching of multiplexed products is now less strict and does not
require all multiplex properties to match. For instance, if product A is
multiplexed over qbs.architecture and qbs.buildVariant while product B is only
multiplexed over one of these axes, then Qbs no longer fails (QBS-1515).
# C/C++ Support
* The Renesas RL78 architecture is now supported in GCC and IAR and the
toolchains are auto-detected by qbs-setup-toolchains.
* The Renesas RX as well as the RH850, V850, 78K are now supported in IAR and
the toolchains are auto-detected by qbs-setup-toolchains.
* The MPLAB X32 GCC-based toolchain is now auto-detected on Windows.
* Multiple occurrences of static libraries on the linker command line are now
pruned and the last instance always wins when using GCC or LLVM-based
toolchains. This avoids problems with excessively long linker command lines
(QBS-1273).
* Clang-cl and MSVC toolchains use the compiler frontend instead of the linker
when linking. The old behavior can be restored by setting cpp.linkerMode to
"manual". This allows to use sanitizers with clang-cl by passing
"-fsanitise=xxx" via cpp.driverFlags (QBS-1522).
* The clang-cl toolchain now uses "link.exe" as the default linker.
"lld-link.exe" can be explicitly selected by setting cpp.linkerVariant to
"lld" (QBS-1522).
* The MSVC, clang-cl and MinGW toolchains are now automatically detected if the
profile does not set an explicit installation location, for instance because
no profile was given.
* Installation of separate debug information can now be enabled and configured
by simply setting the installDebugInformation and debugInformationInstallDir
properties in the Application and Library convenience items. This works for
toolchains based upon GCC, MSVC or clang-cl.
* Xcode version 11.4 is now supported on macOS.
# Qt Support
* Qbs now supports Qt 5.14 for Android which comes as a multi-architecture
package. The qbs-setup-android tool has been updated accordingly (QBS-1497).
* JSON metatype files generated by moc (Qt >= 5.15) are supported by setting
Qt.core.generateMetaTypesFile and Qt.core.metaTypesInstallDir (QBS-1531).
* Pure debug builds of Qt (>= 5.14) with MinGW are now properly supported. They
don't have the 'd' suffix (QTBUG-80792).
* The QML type declaration mechanism introduced in Qt 5.15 is now supported by
the Qt.qml module (QBS-1531).
* Generated qmltypes files are now named according to the product's targetName
property (QTBUG-82710).
# Documentation
* The how-to chapter has been extended with sections about debugging Qbs files
and about building separate debug information in C++ projects.
* The item and module reference documentation has been improved for the
cpp.libraryPaths, cpp.dynamicLibraries (QBS-1516), qbs.toolchainType and
qbs.toolchain properties as well as the Export item and the Library
convenience item.
* Documentation for various path probes has been added (QBS-1187).
* The README was extended and a CONTRIBUTING file has been added which provides
useful information for potential contributors. This is important for people
looking at our github mirror.
# Infrastructure
* The Debian Docker image has been removed.
* We are now using ccache and clcache in our CI pipelines to shrink the build
time.
* Clang-tidy is now used to identify potential problems in the code base and a
lot of action was taken upon a lot of findings.
* A Docker image for testing Qbs with Android and Qt has been added.
# Important Bug Fixes
* Fix nullpointer access and heap-use-after-free error (QBS-1485).
* Select the right instance when Depends.profiles is used on a dependency with
an aggregator product (QBS-1513).
* Fix crash when specifying a non-existing profile in Depends.profiles
(QBS-1514).
* Try harder to detect GCC toolchains in qbs-setup-toolchains (QBS-1524).
* Code signing for Core Foundation Bundles on macOS has been fixed.
* Automatic artifact scanning now prefers artifacts from product dependencies if
multiple candidates are found. This improves dependency tracking in complex
projects (QBS-1532).
* The grpcIncludePath property in the probufcpp module has been fixed
(QBS-1542).
* Qbs does no longer crash when accessing a property of a non-existent module in
"IDE mode".
