For more details, refer to the online documentation +included in this distribution. The documentation is also available online: + + http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5 + +The Qt version 5.5 series is binary compatible with the 5.4.x series. +Applications compiled for 5.4 will continue to run with 5.5. + +Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers +corresponding to tasks in the Qt Bug Tracker: + + http://bugreports.qt-project.org/ + +Each of these identifiers can be entered in the bug tracker to obtain more +information about a particular change. + +**************************************************************************** +* Important Behavior Changes * +**************************************************************************** + +QtQml +----- + + * [QTBUG-44934] Assigning a char to a string will now create a string + with the actual character instead of a string representation of the + character's code-point. A side effect of this change is that a + one-character string also can be assigned to a character type. + +QtQuick +------- + + * Flickable.DragAndOvershootBounds value changed from 2 to 3. This will + only affect you if you've worked around enum type checking and have + the integer value explicitly in your code. + + +**************************************************************************** +* Library * +**************************************************************************** + + +Android +------- + + - [QTBUG-43515] Fixed a vertex shader compilation issue on certain OpenGL + drivers. + +QtQml +----- + + - [QTBUG-29769] Custom C++ value types annotated with Q_GADGET are now + fully accessible in the QML and QJSEngine JavaScript environment. + + - Added qjsEngine(QObject*) getter similar to qmlEngine(object) that + allows retrieving the engine for an exposed object. + + - Added Qt.hsva() function + + - XMLHttpRequest: + * [QTBUG-35892] XMLHttpRequest now supports the OPTION method in + HTTP requests. + * QQmlXMLHttpRequest now supports "arraybuffer" binary response type. + * Support for synchronous requests + +QtQuick +------- + + - BorderImage: Add support for @2x HiDPI border images. This means, no more need to + multiply the border sizes by the device pixel ratio. + + - [QTBUG-37946] Image: An autoTransform property has been added to control + whether metadata image transforms such as EXIF orientation are + automatically applied. By default it enabled for TIFF images and + disabled for JPEG. + + - Changed to use the threaded render loop by default on Windows when + running with desktop OpenGL (opengl32.dll). + - [QTBUG-42813] QQuickRenderControl can now be used to render the Qt Quick + scene on a dedicated render thread, similarly to how the built-in + threaded render loop operates. + - Added Window.width and Window.height attached properties + - Added a Shortcut utility type for catching keyboard shortcuts + + - Flickable: + * Introduced Flickable.OvershootBounds behavior that allows content + overshooting the boundary when flicked, but does not allow dragging + content beyond the boundary of Flickable. + * [QTBUG-22407] Flickable handles pixel deltas from trackpad gestures as + drags, for a more native feel + + - PinchArea: + * Pinch gestures are recognized by the operating system on OSX + * Fix infinite recursion when TouchCancel events are received. + + - TextInput: + * SetFocusOnTouchRelease is honored + + - [QTBUG-44743] Text: Fixed assert when setting an invalid width or height on an + <img> tag in a text element. + + - TextEdit: + * [QTBUG-44492] Fixed positioning of text decoration with some fonts. + * [QTBUG-45032] Fixed issues with using other vertical alignments than + AlignTop. |
