Qt 5.12.4 is a bug-fix release. It maintains both forward and backward
compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 5.12.0 through 5.12.3.

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.

****************************************************************************
*                        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 <qfloat16.h>.

 - 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                             *
****************************************************************************
