For more details, refer to the online documentation +included in this distribution. The documentation is also available online: + +http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/index.html + +The Qt version 5.11 series is binary compatible with the 5.10.x series. +Applications compiled for 5.10 will continue to run with 5.11. + +Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers +corresponding to tasks in the Qt Bug Tracker: + +https://bugreports.qt.io/ + +Each of these identifiers can be entered in the bug tracker to obtain more +information about a particular change. + +**************************************************************************** +* Important Behavior Changes * +**************************************************************************** + + - [QTBUG-63150] Characters invalid in XML, such as 0x0 or 0xfffe, as well + as strings containing unmatched UTF-16 surrogates are now suppressed + from the output of QXmlStreamWriter and cause the error flag to be set. + + - Logging (including qDebug and qWarning): + * The QT_LOGGING_TO_CONSOLE environment variable has been deprecated. + Use the more specific QT_ASSUME_STDERR_HAS_CONSOLE or + QT_FORCE_STDERR_LOGGING, depending on your usecase. + +**************************************************************************** +* General Notes * +**************************************************************************** + +Deprecation Notices +------------------- + + - Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 (compiler version 12.0) is no longer + supported with this Qt version. + - macOS 10.10 is no longer supported with this Qt version. + +Third-Party Code +---------------- + + - Removed attribution for QTemporaryFile: The original code got rewritten. + - Documented use of "Unicode Character Database (UCD)" in Qt Core. + - Clarified use of "Unicode Common Local Data Repository (CLDR)" in the + documentation. Also updated SPDX license name / ID. + - Sqlite was updated to version 3.23.1 + - Libdbus-1 code in Qt D-Bus is now properly documented. The code is + licensed under AFL-2.1 OR GPL-2.0-or-later. + - Bundled HarfBuzz-NG copy updated to 1.7.4. + +**************************************************************************** +* Library * +**************************************************************************** + +QtCore +------ + + - [QTBUG-38156] Apple Unified Logging is now supported on Apple platforms. + + - QAbstractItemModel: + * Added QAbstractItemModel::checkIndex(), a debugging function for + QAbstractItemModel subclasses. + + - QBitArray: + * Added fromBits(), which creates a QBitArray from a dense bit array, + and bits(), which returns that. + + - QDateTime: + * [QTBUG-64401] Years up to 9999 can now be parsed without error + (previously 8000 and beyond were treated as invalid) in all formats + (not only in ISO format). Widgets handling dates now support dates to + 9999, likewise. + * [QTBUG-63072] When parsing dates and times from strings, fixed-width + date-time fields, such as a "dd" for day, QDateTime now rejects all + values that should be padded, rather than only doing so when the value + is a prefix of some value that would fill the field-width. Use a + single letter for the field, e.g. "d" for day, if you want to accept + short values. (QDateTimeEdit is not affected.) + + - QJsonValue: + * fromVariant() conversion now converts from QUrl and QUuid using + special encoding forms to ensure best JSON compatibility. + + - QLockFile: + * [QTBUG-63425] QLockFile can now properly conclude that a lock file + from a previous boot of the same device is stale and can be removed. + This is implemented only for Linux and Apple operating systems. + + - QMetaObject: + * [QTBUG-66744] It is now possible to use template class instances + inheriting from a Q_GADGET in Qml. + + - QSaveFile: + * [QTBUG-66268] Fixed an issue that would cause QSaveFile::commit() to + fail if Unix signals were delivered at the same time. + + - QScopedPointer: + * Added get(), for compatibility with std::shared_ptr. + + - QSharedPointer: + * Added get(), for compatibility with std::shared_ptr. + + - QString: + * Added remove() overload taking QLatin1String. + + - QStringBuilder: + * Added support for char16_t characters and strings. + * Added support for QStringView. + + - QSysInfo: + * [QTBUG-63425] Added machineUniqueId() and bootUniqueId(). + + - QThread: + * [QTBUG-53357] Changed how Qt thread priorities are mapped to QNX + system thread priorities. + + - QUrl: + * Fixed a bug in parsing IPv6 addresses with more than 4 hex digits in a + component. + + - QUuid: + * Added a parameter to both toString() and toByteArray() to allow + controlling the use or not of the braces and dashes in the string + form. + + - QVarLengthArray: + * Added rvalue overloads of prepend and insert. + * QVarLengthArray can now contain movable but non-copyable types, such as + std::unique_ptr. + * Added missing rvalue overload of operator+=() and operator<<(). + + - QVariant: + * Conversions of QDateTime to strings now contain the millisecond + components. + + - QVector: + * Added rvalue overloads of prepend and insert. + * Added missing rvalue overload of operator+=() and operator<<() + +QtGui +----- + + - [QTBUG-59762] The QT_QPA_PLATFORM environment variable and the -platform + argument now support a list of platform plugins in prioritized + order.

The latter has now been deprecated. + * [QTBUG-65345] Fixed an issue where changing the letter spacing type of + a QTextCharFormat would not cause its font to update. + +QtNetwork +--------- + + - QHostAddress: + * Added isGlobal(), isLinkLocal(), isSiteLocal(), + isUniqueLocalUnicast(), and isBroadcast() classification functions to + complement isLoopback() and isMulticast(). + * Fixed a bug in parsing IPv6 addresses with more than 4 hex digits in a + component. + +- QNetworkAccessManager: + * [QTBUG-61397] Added Http2DirectAttribute to enable 'direct' HTTP/2 + protocol without ALPN/NPN and without protocol upgrade negotiations. + * [QTBUG-66913] Fixed a crash in HTTP/2 protocol handler (when server + responds with redirect or some error status code early, not wating + for a stream to be closed on client side). + + - QNetworkInterface: + * Added type(). + * Added maximumTransmissionUnit(). + * Added preferredLifetime() and validityLifetime() to + QNetworkAddressEntry that report the remaining lifetime of the address + in the network interface. + * Added dnsEligibility() to QNetworkAddressEntry to indicate whether the + address is eligible or not for publication in DNS or similar + mechanisms. + * [QTBUG-67226] Fixed a regression in reporting the local address of a + point-to-point tunnel network interface. + + - QSslSocket: + * [QTBUG-67584] When using OpenSSL 1.1, it now correctly sets protocol + version for QSsl::TlsV1_0, QSsl::TlsV1_1 and QSsl::TlsV1_2. + * [QTBUG-67112] On WinRT QSsl::SecureProtocols (default) now enables + TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2. + * On WinRT QSsl::TlsV1SslV3 now enables SSLv3 and not just TLSv1. + +QtPrintSupport +-------------- + + - Larger improvements to the CUPS print dialog. + * Added an advanced options tab in the printer properties, containing + all the printer options exposed through the CUPS API. + * Implemented support for installable options (add-ons to the printer). + * Added support for storing the selected settings between application runs. + * Added support for localized options in the advanced tab. + * The CUPS print dialog now supports printing of arbitrary ranges. + + - QPrintDialog + * [QTBUG-58733] Fixed handling of custom page sizes. + +QtSql +----- + + - OCI support: + * [QTBUG-23] Added support for the TIMESTAMP data type. + + - PostgreSQL support: + * [QTBUG-63714] Added support for forward-only queries (requires libpq + version 9.2 or later). + * Added support for multiple result sets. + + - QSqlDatabase: + * [QTBUG-216] QSqlDatabase::database() will return an invalid + QSqlDatabase if the calling thread does not own the requested + QSqlDatabase. + +QtTest +------ + + - The qtest_global.h header is now deprecated. Include qttestglobal.h + instead. + - Added QAbstractItemModelTester, a class to help testing item models. + +QtWidgets +--------- + + - [QTBUG-62094] QDesktopWidget has been deprecated. Use the corresponding + QScreen functions instead. + - [QTBUG-49374][QTBUG-65237][QTBUG-49374] Fixed several issues related + to HiDPI support in QStyle. + + - Item views: + * [QTBUG-48725] QTreeView now calls canFetchMore() and fetchMore() when + the bottom of the QTreeView is scrolled to. + * [QTBUG-65082] Add ability to show QJsonValue::Bool/Double to + QTreeView, QTableView and QListView. + + - QAbstractItemModel: + * Implemented improved support for the optional "role" parameter in the + "dataChanged" signal. + + - QColorDialog: + * [QTBUG-64500] Fixed persistence of custom colors when relaunching an + application. + + - QHeaderView: + * Flat treeviews can now allow the user to move the first column (like + in Qt 4.x) using the new method QHeaderView::setFirstSectionMovable(). + * MinimumSectionSize/MaximumSectionSize is now respected when calling + resizeSection(). + + - QLineEdit: + * Implemented quick text selection by mouse in QLineEdit. + * Placeholder text is now used as accessible description if the latter + has not been set. + + - QListView: + * QListView now honors css :first/:middle/:last Pseudo-States. + + - QMenu: + * [QTBUG-25669] Fixed a bug in QMenu that caused QMenuBar::triggered() to + be fired multiple times. + + - QMenuBar: + * Added overloads of addAction() using Qt 5 signals and slots. + + - QStandardItemModel: + * [QTBUG-45114][QTBUG-10872] Fixed setItemData() incorrectly deleting + unmodified data. That behavior is not following QAbstractItemModel's + documented behavior which is no modification of data not provided in + parameter. + + - QStyle: + * [QTBUG-53094] Added SH_ComboBox_AllowWheelScrolling as a style hint to + enable/disable the use of the mouse wheel in a QComboBox. This + defaults to true in all styles except the macOS one so there is no + change in existing behavior. + + - QTextEdit/QPlainTextEdit + * [QTBUG-63868] context menus will now open on right mouse click even if + the focus policy is Qt::NoFcous (allowing text copy). + + - QTreeWidgetItem: + * QTreeWidgetItem::insertChildren now ignores insertions happening at + invalid indices, for consistency with QTreeWidgetItem::insertChild. + +**************************************************************************** +* Platform-specific Changes * +**************************************************************************** + +Android +------- + + - The application and dependent Qt libraries are now loaded on the same + thread as main() is run on, ensuring that global static initializers, + constructor functions, and main() are all run on the same thread. The + same applies during application shutdown, for destructors of global + objects, and destructor functions. + +Linux/EGLFS +----------- + + - [QTBUG-63088] The DRM+GBM backend now exposes the DRM/GBM device handle + under the key "dri_fd", queriable via nativeResourceForIntegration(). + +Linux/XCB +--------- + + - [QTBUG-56452] Added missing dead key symbols, enabling their use with + the "compose" input module. + - Added support for flatpak portals. Flatpak is a software utility for + software deployment and package management. It provides a sandbox + environment in which users can run applications in isolation from the + rest of the system. To communicate with the system flatpak uses portals, + which are designed to be a bridge between sandboxed applications and + desktop/system running on user's computer. Flatpak runs automatically + this as service, called xdg-desktop-portal, which exports portals on DBus + and which are by default visible to all applications running under + Flatpak. + - [QTBUG-44938] Qt now falls back to X11 core keycode information if an XKB + keymap could not be determined through the connection. + + - ibus: + * Support ForwardKeyEvent signal + +Windows +------- + + - [QTPM-487][QTBUG-53024][QTBUG-43190][QTBUG-61926][QTBUG-38499] + [QTBUG-38337][QTBUG-38501][QTBUG-38502][QTBUG-38504][QTBUG-38505] + [QTBUG-38507] The Windows Accessibility back end, formerly based on + Microsoft Active Accessibility, was replaced with a new implementation + based on Microsoft UI Automation. + + - [QTBUG-44594] Added support for End-User Defined Characters in Qt. + +iOS +--- + + - [QTBUG-59042] The Apple Pencil now generates QTabletEvents, with the + complete feature set (tilt, rotation, pressure). + +macOS +----- + + - QMacStyle does no longer depend on HITheme — or Carbon for that matter. + Its implementation now relies exclusively on AppKit and custom code for + rendering and pixel metrics. + +**************************************************************************** +* Tools * +**************************************************************************** + +configure & build system +------------------------ + + - [QTBUG-61260] Fixed build with -sanitize address. + - [QTBUG-61373][Windows] Restored default -prefix to C:\Qt\Qt-\. + - [QTBUG-66355] pkg-config is now tried first to find system pcre2-16. + - [QTBUG-66675] Fixed -debug-and-release builds with qtquickcompiler. + - [Windows] OpenSSL 1.1 detection is now automatic. + - [X11] The -xkb-config-root command line switch has been removed as it + is no longer needed when configuring with -qt-xkbcommon-x11. + - Added the -gdb-index option to speed up debugging with GDB. + - More Qt features were made optional as part of the Qt Lite project. + - Removed compatibility of the modules with CMake < 3.1. + +qmake +----- + + - [QTBUG-35131][Xcode] Fixed build breakage when an extra compiler's + output directory (OBJECTS_DIR, MOC_DIR, etc.) contains "/../". + - [QTBUG-45211][iOS] Fixed building of QML based test cases. + - [QTBUG-66265][VS2017] Fixed building projects with Windows 8.1 SDK. + - [QTBUG-66770][Android][x86] The clang makespec now adds -mstackrealign. + - [QTBUG-67011] Fixed immediate RESOURCES when using an absolute RCC_DIR. + - [QTBUG-67286][Darwin] Fixed error messages when SDK cannot be resolved. + - [Darwin] Fixed the selected SDK's compilers not being used for plain C + sources. + - [Darwin] Fixed QMAKE_BUNDLE_DATA with extra compiler generated files. -- cgit v1.2.3
