Qt 5.12.3 is a bug-fix release. It maintains both forward and backward

For more details, refer to the online documentation included in this
distribution. The documentation is also available online:

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/index.html

The Qt version 5.12 series is binary compatible with the 5.11.x series.
Applications compiled for 5.11 will continue to run with 5.12.

****************************************************************************

 - Event system:
   * [QTBUG-72438] Fixed a possible race condition on Windows that would
     cause an interrupted event loop to be stuck until more events were
     posted.

 - Logging system:
   * [QTBUG-74359] Fixed the compilation of qCDebug("", ...) when debug
     output was disabled.

 - QCollator:
   * [QTBUG-74209] Fixed a bug that caused QCompare to incorrect return a
     sorting order on Windows if the Win32 API failed.

 - QDateTime / QTimeZone:
   * [QTBUG-74614] Fixed handling of timezones that contain no DST
     transitions.

****************************************************************************
*                                  QtSql                                   *

*                        Platform Specific Changes                         *
****************************************************************************

 - Android:
   * Text fields with ImhNoPredictiveText set are no longer working around
     keyboards that disregard this setting. To enforce the workaround, the
     environment variable
     QT_ANDROID_ENABLE_WORKAROUND_TO_DISABLE_PREDICTIVE_TEXT should be set.

   * [QTBUG-74029] Added entries in the AndroidManifest.xml for specific
     portrait and landscape splash screens. If one is present for the current
     orientation, it will be preferred over the generic one.

 - Linux:
   * [QTBUG-74526] Changed the way we use the statx() system call to use a
     fallback mechanism provided by the GNU C library. This should allow Qt
     applications that are compiled with glibc >= 2.28 to run even on kernels
     older than 4.11.

 - Windows:
   * [QTBUG-74062] Fixed QToolTip pop-ups and QComboBox animation pop-ups
     being off by a few pixels on Windows 10.
