It maintains both forward and backward +compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 5.9.0. + +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 5.9 series is binary compatible with the 5.8.x series. +Applications compiled for 5.8 will continue to run with 5.9. + +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 * +**************************************************************************** + + - Building examples inside the Qt source tree while not building Qt itself + is rejected now, because this can cause hard to debug configuration + issues. If building isolated examples is needed, you may still use shadow + builds. + + - This version of Qt restores compatibility with pre-5.9.0 calculation of + QCryptographicHash algorithms that were labelled "Sha3_nnn": that is, + applications compiled with old versions of Qt will continue using the + Keccak algorithm. Applications recompiled with this version will use + SHA-3, unless QT_SHA3_KECCAK_COMPAT is #define'd prior to #include + . + +**************************************************************************** +* General Notes * +**************************************************************************** + +Binary Compatibility Note +------------------------- + + - The variable QOperatingSystemVersion::AndroidOreo was added in this + release. Code that uses this variable will not run under Qt 5.9.1. If + backwards compatibility is desired, use instead + QOperatingSystemVersion(QOperatingSystemVersion::Android, 8) + [This is similar to QOperatingSystemVersion::MacOSHighSierra added in + 5.9.1] + + - This version of Qt changes the values assigned to enumerations + QCryptographicHash::Sha3_nnn. Applications compiled with this version and + using those enumerations will not work with Qt 5.9.0 and 5.9.1, unless + QT_SHA3_KECCAK_COMPAT is defined. + +Deprecation Notice +------------------ + + - Starting with Qt 5.10, IPv6 support will be mandatory for all platforms. + Systems without proper IPv6 support, such as the getaddrinfo() function + or the proper socket address structures, will not be able to build + QtNetwork anymore. + +Third-Party Code +---------------- + + - [QTBUG-31020] zlib was updated to version 1.2.11. + - libpng was updated to version 1.6.32 + +**************************************************************************** +* Library * +**************************************************************************** + +QtCore +------ + + - [QTBUG-61350] Fixed the conversion from string to double of the strings + "0E+1" and "0E-1" (with capital E), which QString::toDouble(), + QByteArray::toDouble() and similar functions reported as invalid. + + - QFile: + * [QTBUG-57023] Reverted an incorrect change from Qt 5.9.0 that forbade + the creation and access to Alternate Data Streams on NTFS on Windows. + This means that file names containing a colon (':') are allowed again, + but note that they are not regular files. + + - QFileInfo: + * [QTBUG-62802] Relative symbolic links on Windows are now resolved to + their absolute path by symLinkTarget(). + + - QFileSystemWatcher: + * [QTBUG-62242] Fixed a crash on Windows if this class was instantiated + before QCoreApplication was created. + * [QTBUG-61792] Fixed an issue on Windows that would cause this class not + to monitor files properly if the directory containing the monitored + files was added to the list of watched paths after the files. + + - QLocale: + * [QTBUG-53565] Fixed the conversion of QTime to string form and parsing + from string form to always treat the value as the decimal fraction of + the seconds component. That is, the string format ".z" produces/parses + ".2" for 200 milliseconds and ".002" for 2 milliseconds. Use of "z" or + "zzz" is discouraged outside decimal fractions to avoid surprises. + * [QTBUG-61949] Fixed bcp57Name() to return "en" for the QLocale::c() + locale. Previously, it returned "C", which is not a valid BCP47 + language tag. + + - QProcess: + * [QTBUG-61634] Added a workaround for a rare race-condition bug in + some C libraries that caused the child process started by QProcess to + hang after trying to launch a non-existent executable or change to a + non-existent directory. + * [QTBUG-62584] Fixed a race-condition bug that could cause + waitForXxx() functions to hang forever if a slot triggered by that + function futher started a nested event loop. + + - QTimeZone: + * [QTBUG-63205] Fixed a bug that would cause QTimeZone to mis-parse + timezone files on Unix systems if they contained leap second + information. + + - QVariant: + * [QTBUG-61471] Fixed QVariant to actually perform the conversions + between QVariantHash and QVariantMap in the respective .toHash() and + .toMap() functions. QVariant already reported true in .canConvert() + between those two types. + +QtDBus +------ + + - [QTBUG-62284] Fixed a race condition in QDBusAbstractInterface that + could cause the class to never see the notification that the remote + service became available and cause isValid() to change to true. + +QtGui +----- + + - Text: + * [QTBUG-61520] Fixed matching of non-regular font weights for + application fonts on macOS. + +QtNetwork +--------- + + - [QTBUG-61692] Fixed the handling of application-wide proxy settings (set + with QNetworkProxy): previously, QTcpSocket would directly fall back to + the system settings if the object-specific setting was + QNetworkProxy::DefaultProxy. + + - QLocalSocket: + * [QTBUG-61643] Fixed an issue with Qt pipe-handling code that could + cause deadlocks on Windows, most often if the QLocalSocket object tried + to wait for more data during application shutdown. + +QtTest +------ + + - Added flowId to messages when logging in TeamCity format. FlowId is used + to distinguish logging from multiple processes running in parallel. + +QtWidgets +--------- + + - Android: + * [QTBUG-48639] Fixed label duplication for buttons when using style + sheets with the Android style. + + - QLineEdit: + * [QTBUG-60319] Fixed behavior of the ImSurroundingText query. + Previously, it returned a masked text whose length may be less than + the cursor position. Now it returns unmasked text, so the text length + is always greater than or equal to the cursor position. + + - QMenu: + * [QTBUG-59794] Fixed menu size issue when using high DPI on + multi-screen system. + +**************************************************************************** +* Compiler-specific Changes * +**************************************************************************** + +clang +----- + + - [QTBUG-61840][QTBUG-62085] Fixed an issue that caused recent Clang + versions to print a warning about [[nodiscard]. + +Visual Studio +------------- + + - [QTBUG-61902] Changed Qt uses of certain C++ Standard Library functions + that Visual Studio warns about. Now Qt public headers call + Microsoft-specific versions that do not produce warnings. + +**************************************************************************** +* Platform-specific Changes * +**************************************************************************** + +macOS +----- + + - [QTBUG-59222] Switching focus objects inside a top level window while + composing text using dead keys or input method events would leave the + application in an inconsistent state. The composition now automatically + cancels when the focus object changes. + +Windows +------- + + - [QTBUG-57916] Fixed build with ANGLE and newer MinGW versions. + - [QTBUG-62083] Fixed Qt trying to steal certain events from user windows if + the event ID was WM_USER. + +**************************************************************************** +* Tools * +**************************************************************************** + +configure & build system +------------------------ + + - [QTBUG-35928][QTBUG-41908][Apple] Qt can now be built using just the + Xcode Command Line Tools, without needing to install the full Xcode IDE. + - [QTBUG-55755][Windows] All Qt .exe files now include meta information, + like .dll files already did. + - [QTBUG-58012] (Re-)added a way to specify alternative ICU libraries. + - [QTBUG-62150] Fixed detection of ICU in static builds. + - [QTBUG-53537][X11] Added missing detection of Xinerama. + - [QTBUG-61731][X11] Fixed detection of AT-SPI, allowing accessibility + support to be built again. + - [X11] Fixed detection of x11-xcb with pkg-config. + - [CMake] All Qt module defines are now propagated to the config files. + +qmake +----- + + - [QTBUG-31034] Added qmake feature and configure option to use ccache. + - [QTBUG-48342] Fixed generation of extraneous slashes in -project mode. + - [QTBUG-55633] Fixed misparsing of some string literal concatenations + as C++11 raw strings. This affects dependency scanning. + - [QTBUG-59301][Xcode] Fixed duplicate references in project files. + - [QTBUG-59827][nmake] The 'clean' target now deletes backup files of + MSVC manifests. + - [QTBUG-60455][Android] libc++ is now used instead of libstdc++ when + building with the android-clang mkspec. + - [QTBUG-60430][iOS] Fixed handling of the deprecated variable + QMAKE_IOS_TARGETED_DEVICE_FAMILY. + - [QTBUG-60899][WinRT] Fixed capability handling for Win10 targets. + - [WinRT] Added support for new Win10 capabilities. + - [QTBUG-61335][MinGW] Worked around LTO+MRI linker issue when cross- + building from Linux. + - [QTBUG-61411][Windows] _UNICODE is now defined, consistently with VS. + - [QTBUG-61688][MSVC] Fixed compilation of precompiled headers with + CONFIG+=silent. Done by removing redundant progress messages. + - [QTBUG-61690][QTBUG-61735] Fixed detection of compiler default search + paths for various compilers and platforms. + - [QTBUG-63197][Windows] Fixed moc'ing in a build directory with spaces + when INCLUDEPATH contains 40+ entries. + - [Android] Fixed building with ndkr16+ by using unified headers. + - [Windows] Fixed repeated installation of read-only files. + - [VS] Fixed deployment rules in created solution files. -- cgit v1.2.3
