------
+ - Added QCollator, a class to collate Unicode strings.
+ - Added QCommandLineParser, a class to parse command lines.
+ - Added QFileSelector, a class to select platform-specific file assets.
+ - Added QLoggingCategory and related functions for logging
+ - [QTBUG-23946] Fixed a bug that prevented Qt from being built in a
+ namespace on Mac OS X.
+ - Updated the locale database to CLDR 23.1
+ - Added support for ARMv8 64-bit mode.
+
+ - Metatype system (QMetaType & QVariant):
+ * Qt now handles metatypes automatically for std::vector, std::list,
+ std::pair and std::map
+ * The metatype system now supports registering explicit conversion
+ functions via QMetaType::registerConverter
+ * The metatype system now supports iteration over a container type via
+ QSequentialIterable and QAssociativeIterable
+ * Registering the same type name twice will now print only a warning (as
+ opposed to aborting the execution of the program)
+
+ - Qt Containers:
+ * In debug mode, the Qt containers will now verify whether the iterators
+ passed to most mutating functions belong to the iterator in question.
+ * Fixed a number of bugs that would modify shared containers when calling
+ erase(), under corner-case conditions.
+
- QtAlgorithms
With STL no longer being optional for building and using Qt, a number of parts
of QtAlgorithms no longer make sense, and have therefore been deprecated.

- QJson:
* [QTBUG-33229] The Writer and the Parser now fully accept non-character
unicode points.
+ * The Writer will no longer write inf, -inf and nan for infinites and NaN
+ values, which resulted in parsing back as strings. Instead, it will now
+ output null.
+ * The Writer now emits numeric values with full numeric precision. This
+ also allows QJson to support integer values with no loss of precision

+ * QPluginLoader will no longer load the plugins on Mac OS X and iOS
+ systems when scanning for valid plugins.
+ * Added QPluginLoader::staticPlugins(), which returns the list of
+ built-in plugins (linked to the executable and any loaded libraries).
+
+ - QProcess:
+ * [QTBUG-32958] Fixed a bug that would cause QProcess to crash if
+ waitForStarted() were called after an unsuccessful start()
+ * Added QProcess::nullDevice(), which returns the platform's "blackhole"
+ device (/dev/null on Unix, NUL on Windows). This can be used with
+ QProcess::setStandardOutputFile.
+ * Added enum values QProcess::ForwardedOutputChannel and
+ QProcess::ForwardedErrorChannel, which allow for more fine-grained
+ control over which channel is forwarded and which one is captured.
+ * Added QProcess::ForwardedInputChannel, which allows for stdin to be
+ forwarded to this process's input.
+ * [QTBUG-32979] On Unix, QProcess now correctly forwards the siginfo_t
+ and context parameters of the signal handler to the previous handler.
+
+ - QScopedPointer:
+ * Added QScopedPointerDeleteLater, a new class that can be used as the
+ second template to QScopedPointer and will call deleteLater() on the
+ pointer when it goes out of scope.
+
+ - QSocketNotifier:
+ * Fixed a bug that caused socket notifiers not to be re-enabled after
+ they had been activated on BlackBerry.
- QStandardPaths:
* QStandardPaths::enableTestMode is deprecated and is replaced by
QStandardPaths::setTestModeEnabled.
+ * Added QStandardPaths::GenericConfigLocation, which refers to a location
+ where applications can store config files to be shared with other
+ applications.

- Status bar visibility is now controlled by Qt, so the window state will
override settings in the AndroidManifest.xml. The default is still to
show the status bar (QWindow::showMaximized()). Use
QWindow::showFullScreen() to hide it.
+ - Implemented support for accessibility on Android.

+Qt for OS X
+-----------
+
+ - Qt for OS X is now identified by the macro Q_OS_OSX. This complements the
+ existing Q_OS_DARWIN macro (which identifies the open source kernel and
+ could identify non-Apple products) and Q_OS_MAC, which is defined for
+ both OS X and iOS. The old macro Q_OS_MACX is now deprecated.
+ - Qt no longer complains about new versions of OS X that haven't been
+ released yet. This will allow Qt 5.2 and future versions to build on
+ future versions yet to be released. Note that those versions are not
+ supported until official announcement by the Qt Project.
+ - Added a number of functions to QtCore to convert to and from
+ CFString/NSString and QString, CFURL/NSURL and QUrl.
