Qt 5.0.1 is a bug-fix release. It maintains both forward and backward source compatibility with Qt 5.0.0. However, to fix a bug we detected after the 5.0 release, this release has a limited binary compatibility break. We therefore recommend all users to recompile their applications that provided QtMultimedia plugins or dealt with them directly. This is an exceptional case: compatibility will be kept for further releases. For more details, refer to the online documentation included in this distribution. The documentation is also available online: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/ 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. **************************************************************************** * General * **************************************************************************** General Improvements -------------------- * Documentation: Various documentation fixes such as spelling and snippet corrections. * Fixed an issue that could cause memory leak when certain objects were destroyed. The fix for this issue required a binary compatibility break in two classes: QAudioSystemFactoryInterface and QMediaServiceProviderFactoryInterface. Those two classes are used only in QtMultimedia plugins and code directly dealing with them and recompilation is only strictly necessary for them.
