Backend plug-ins and applications can be notified when the available sensors have changed [MOBILITY-864] - Generic backends no longer override system backends. This primarily affects Symbian, which now uses native Orientation and Rotation backends by default. - Tap sensors that can only detect the axis, not the direction, now have a value they can return [MOBILITY-1878] - setDataRate and setOutputRange can once again be called before the backend is connected [MOBILITY-2087] - Filters were not properly deregisering themselves [MOBILITY-2401] - Don't unconditionally print out plugin loading errors [QTMOBILITY-1034] - Find out what filters are attached to a sensor [QTMOBILITY-574] - Platform-specific notes are available for Symbian, N900 and MeeGo and explain issues particular to each platform [MOBILITY-2481] - Allow setting up the axes on the N900 to match the standard adopted by Symbian and MeeGo [QTMOBILITY-1044] - Qt-style static plugins are now supported - Reading timestamps are not guaranteed to be monotonic (problems have been identified on Symbian, MeeGo and N900) - Blocking the event loop on Symbian no longer results in delayed sensor readings. Readings that cannot be processed quickly enough are now dropped by the system [QTMOBILITY-759] - Improve N900 reading timestamps. Still not guaranteed to be monotonic due to a kernel bug [MOBILITY-2091] - Update the simulator to support QLightSensor [MOBILITY-2686] - As much as possible, ensure sensors supply the current value when they are started. Especially important for sensors that change infrequently (eg. Orientation) [QTMOBILITY-1385] - Don't crash when using QCompass on Symbian [QTMOBILITY-1482] - Allow slower polling of N900 sensors [QTMOBILITY-1505] - N900 proximity sensor cannot run faster than 10Hz [QTMOBILITY-1505] Plugins ----- - Declarative plugins containing d suffix in debug build now.
