+
+ - [QTBUG-47316] QDebug output for QStrings changed compared to Qt 5.5.0 to
+   more closely match the output of previous Qt versions. Like Qt 5.5.0,
+   QDebug will escape non-printable characters, the backslash and quote
+   characters, but will no longer escape the printable characters.

+****************************************************************************
+
+ - Qt 5.7 will begin requiring certain C++11 features in order to
+   compile. Due to bugs in the Clang compiler that comes with XCode 5.0,
+   that version will not be supported, despite what was noted in the Qt
+   5.5.0 changelog.
+   The minimum compiler versions for Qt 5.7 release will be:
+   * Clang 3.3 (XCode 5.1 contains version 3.4)
+   * GCC 4.7
+   * Intel C++ Composer XE 2013 SP1 (compiler version 14.0) on Linux and OS X
+   * Intel C++ Composer XE 2016 (compiler version 16.0) on Windows
+   * Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (compiler version 17.0)
+

+
+QtCore
+------
+
+ - Logging framework:
+   * Fixed a bug that would cause a
+     "%{time boot}" field in the logging framework's pattern to always
+     display the same value, instead of the time since boot.
+
+ - QDate/QTime:
+   * Fixed a minor source-incompatibility between Qt 5.4 and 5.5.0
+     involving sets of functions overloaded on QTime and some integer or
+     QDate and some integer.
+
+ - QDir:
+   * QDir::relativeFilePath() now returns "." instead of an empty string if
+     the given path is the same as the directory.
+
+ - QLoggingCategory:
+   * Fixed behavior of default severity passed to constructor or
+     Q_LOGGING_CATEGORY with regards to QtInfoMsg, which was previously
+     treated as being more severe than QtFatalMsg.
+
+ - QTimeZone:
+   * [QTBUG-47037] Fixed a wrong timezone conversion when the POSIX
+     timezone rule contains a fractional timezone (e.g. VET4:30).

+ - QSqlDatabase:
+   * [QTBUG-47784][QTBUG-47452] Fixed a bug where opening a connection to a
+     MySQL database using the QMYSQL plugin would always return true even
+     if the server was unreachable. This bug could also lead to crashes
+     depending on the platform used.
+
+QtWidgets
+---------
+
+ - Important behavior changes:
+   * [QTBUG-46379] Tooltips on OS X are now transparent for mouse events.
