The platform is currently not tested, and most likely has issues that are not fully documented. **************************************************************************** * Library * **************************************************************************** QtWidgets --------- QtCore ------ - Added QSignalBlocker, a RAII-style wrapper around QObject::blockSignals(). QtGui ----- - Added setSwapInterval() to QSurfaceFormat. Platforms that support setting the swap interval are now defaulting to the value of 1, meaning vsync is enabled. QtSql ----- - QSqlQuery::isNull(field) now correctly returns true for "no such field". - QSqlQuery::isNull(fieldname) is a new overload. - QSQLITE: Empty database name now opens in-memory database. - QSqlError: Now handles alphanumeric error codes. Used by QPSQL. Old numeric code is deprecated.
