But some changes were inevitable in an effort to + make Qt a better framework. + + In this topic we summarize those changes in Qt DBus, and provide + guidance to handle them. + + \section1 API changes + + The QtDBus module has undergone some basic consolidation and + cleanup. There should be minimal porting effort to be able to switch to Qt6. + + \section2 The QDBusMessage class + The QDBusMessage::call() and QDBusMessage::asyncCall() methods with a fixed + size of arguments have been removed in Qt6. + + \section2 The QDBusArgument class + The QDBusArgument::operator<<() specializations for QHash, QMap and QList + have been unified into common specializations for associative containers. + + \section2 The QDBusConnection class + The QDBusConnection::sender() function has been removed in Qt6. + + \section2 The QDBusMessage class + The QDBusMessage::createErrorReply() function now takes the QString \c name + argument by const reference instead of taking by value. + + \section2 The QDBusPendingReply class + QDBusPendingReply has been changed to be a variadic template class in order + to support more than 8 template parameters now. The template parameters + are the types that will be used to extract the contents of the reply's data. +*/ |
