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. **************************************************************************** * Platform Specific Changes * **************************************************************************** - X11 / XCB: * [QTBUG-45375] QTabletEvent coordinates now come from AbsX/AbsY valuators in the X11 event, in more precise 32.32 fixed-point format, scaled to fit the virtual desktop. It's possible to revert to using the legacy 16.16-format event_x/event_y coordinates as in previous releases by setting the QT_XCB_TABLET_LEGACY_COORDINATES environment variable. **************************************************************************** * QtCore * **************************************************************************** - Global: * [QTBUG-72073] Added the QT_NO_FLOAT16_OPERATORS macro in order to work around a Microsoft <= VS2017 compiler bug that is exposed when using std::bitset along with any Qt header that includes . - QDeadlineTimer: * [QTBUG-69750] Fixed integer overflows leading to immediate timeouts. - QFile: * Made QFile::copy() issue a filesystem-synchronization system call, which would make it less likely to result in incomplete or corrupt files if the system reboots or uncleanly shuts down soon after the function returns. New code is advised to use QSaveFile instead, which also allows to display a progress report while copying. - QFileInfo: * [QTBUG-63970][QTBUG-30401][QTBUG-20791] Fixed resolving of symbolic links to UNC shares on NTFS file systems. - QMetaObject: * Non-copyable lambdas can now be used with invokeMethod(). For consistency reasons, the functor object is now always moved. **************************************************************************** * QtGui * **************************************************************************** - [QTBUG-73231] QWindow::mapToGlobal()/mapFromGlobal() now handle windows spanning screens correctly. - [QTBUG-75522] QBezier: Fix possible endless loop when stroking curves **************************************************************************** * QtWidgets * **************************************************************************** - QMenu: * Shortcuts are again shown by default in context menus, except on macOS. They can be forced off by setting AA_DontShowShortcutsInContextMenus to true. **************************************************************************** * Third-Party Code * **************************************************************************** - libpng was updated to version 1.6.37 - Updated QLocale to CLDR v35.1 - Updated bundled SQLite to version 3.28.0
