+*                           Library                                        *
+****************************************************************************
+
+QtBluetooth
+-----------
+
+ - Ported Classic Bluetooth components and classes to OS X. A similar port
+   to iOS is not possible due to missing platform support.
+ - Ported Low Energy components to iOS, OS X and Android
+ - Improved QBluetoothTransferManager documentation
+ - Improved QLowEnergyService documentation
+ - Added missing detailsChanged() signal emissions in BluetoothService QML type
+
+ - QBluetoothDeviceDiscoveryAgent:
+   * Extended QBluetoothDeviceDiscoveryAgent documentation around Bluetooth
+     Low Energy device discovery
+   * Added QBluetoothDeviceDiscoveryAgent::UnsupportedPlatformError flag
+
+ - QBluetoothDeviceInfo:
+   * Added QBluetoothDeviceInfo(QBluetoothUuid,QString,quint32) ctor
+   * Fixed incorrect initialization of QBluetoothDeviceInfo::coreConfiguration()
+     in the class ctor. By default, it is set to
+     QBluetoothDeviceInfo::UnknownCoreConfiguration.
+   * Added Q_DECLARE_OPERATORS_FOR_FLAGS macro for CoreConfiguration
+     and ServiceClasses enums
+
+ - QBluetoothHostInfo:
+   * Added Q_DECLARE_METATYPE
+   * Added comparison operators
+
+ - QLowEnergyController:
+   * QLowEnergyController::ConnectionError enum value added.
+   * Added QLowEnergyController(QBluetoothDeviceInfo) ctor. This ctor is the
+     preferred ctor.
+
+ - QLowEnergyService:
+   * Add capability to initiate reading of characteristics and descriptors. Previously
+     the variable was only updated during the initial service discovery or when
+     a value notification was received.
+   * Added guard to prevent writing of service before service discovery
+     was complete.
+   * Force write of characteristics and descriptors even when they are marked as
+     read-only. This permits workarounds where the device's meta data reports
+     wrong values.
+   * Improved class documentation
+   * Added remoteName() member function
+
+ - QBluetoothUuid:
+   * Extended QBluetoothUuid::ServiceClassUuid enum to incorporate latest
+     BLuetooth Low Energy service type standards/definitions
+   * Extended QBluetoothUuid::CharacteristicType to incorporate latest
+     Bluetooth Low Energy characteritistic standards/definitions
+   * Extended QBluetoothUuid::DescriptorType to incorporate latest
+     Bluetooth Low Energy descriptor standards/definitions
+
+ - Examples:
+   * Fixed several lowenergyscanner example bugs
+
+QtNfc
+-----
+
+ - Ported module to Linux using Neard v0.14+
+ - Improved QNdefNfcSmartPosterRecord documentation
+ - Extended QML NearField type with polling property, tagFound() and tagRemoved signals
+ - Added QNdefNfcSmartPosterRecord::operator=() operator
+
+ - Examples:
+   * Fixed several bugs in corkboard example
+   * Fixed hanging ndefeditor example when receiving invalid NFC requests
+   * Fixed loading of images in poster example
