+QtQml
+------
+ - New QML import version QtQml.Models 2.1 contains generic versions of the VisualModel
+   types. These new generic versions work with any QObject based delegate,
+   not just QQuickItem based delegates.
+ - New module version QtQml 2.1 provides the new Instantiator type, which
+   is a generic version of Repeater which works with any QObject based
+   delegate, not just QQuickItem based delegates.
+ - New convenience class QQmlApplicationEngine automatically provides
+   functionality common in the C++ shell of a primarily QML application.
+ - New qmlClearTypeRegistrations() function in qqml.h. This function drops all
+   static data generated by previous qmlRegisterType calls.
+ - New qmlRegisteredType function in qqml.h, allowing the registration of
+   composite types from C++.
+
+QtQuick
+------
+ - New QML import version QtQuick 2.1 contains no new types, but adds new
+   properties, methods and signals to existing types. See the release notes
+   in the QtQuick documentation for details.
  - QTBUG-30837: The Flickable type no longer fixes up the content area on
    startup to move it inside the viewport.
