For more details, refer to the online documentation +included in this distribution. The documentation is also available online: + +http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/index.html + +The Qt version 5.9 series is binary compatible with the 5.8.x series. +Applications compiled for 5.8 will continue to run with 5.9. + +Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers +corresponding to tasks in the Qt Bug Tracker: + +https://bugreports.qt.io/ + +Each of these identifiers can be entered in the bug tracker to obtain more +information about a particular change. + +**************************************************************************** +* Important Behavior Changes * +**************************************************************************** + + - Added multi-touch support for buttons and sliders. It is now possible to + touch-interact with multiple sliders and buttons at the same time. + - By popular demand, Slider, RangeSlider, and Dial have been changed to + report live value updates by default. This can be disabled by setting the + "live" property to false. + - [QTBUG-59920] Sliders and Dials now react immediately when using a + mouse. Now the initial drag threshold applies only on touch, to avoid + conflicting with flickables. + - [QTBUG-58667] ScrollBar now reacts immediately when using a mouse. + - [QTBUG-59629] Set explicit cursors on all interactive controls. + +**************************************************************************** +* Controls * +**************************************************************************** + + - AbstractButton: + * Added support for multi-touch. + * [QTBUG-57203] Added a toggled() signal that is emitted whenever a + checkable button is interactively toggled by the user by using either + touch, mouse, or keys. + + - ApplicationWindow: + * [QTBUG-58932] The "data" property has been renamed to contentData, as it + was documented. Notice that a "data" property still exists in QML + Window, but is no longer overshadowed in ApplicationWindow. + + - Control: + * [QTBUG-50992] Resolved the "Object destroyed during incubation" issue + that occurred randomly when customizing built-in delegates. + + - ComboBox: + * [QTBUG-53876] Added "editable" property. + * Added "down" property. + + - DelayButton: + * Added DelayButton that incorporates a delay before the button becomes + activated, to prevent accidental triggers. + + - Dial: + * Added a "live" property that determines whether the dial provides live + updates for the "value" property while the handle is dragged. + * Added support for wheel handling when wheelEnabled is set to true. + * [QTBUG-57203] Added a moved() signal that is emitted whenever the dial + is interactively moved by the user by using either touch, mouse, or + keys. + * Fixed handling of inverted wheel events (natural touchpad scrolling + direction on macOS). + + - Drawer: + * [QTBUG-53169] Added "interactive" property that specifies whether the + drawer reacts to swipes. This can be used to make drawer a + non-closable persistent side-bar. + + - Menu: + * Fixed populating Menus with a Repeater. + + - Popup: + * Allowed passing a Window as a parent when creating dynamic Popup + instances using eg. Component.createObject(). Previously, Popup + assumed the parent to be an Item, and would complain "cannot find + any window to open popup in" if a Window was passed. + * [QTBUG-58196] Allowed dynamic window changes after construction. + * Fixed the CloseOnRelease close policy for non-modal popups. + + - RangeSlider: + * Added a "live" property that determines whether the range slider + provides live updates for the first.value and second.value properties + while the respective handle is dragged. + + - ScrollBar: + * [QTBUG-56569] Added snapMode property for incremental or discrete + scrolling. + * Added an "interactive "property. A non-interactive ScrollBar is visually + and behaviorally similar to ScrollIndicator. This property is useful + for switching between typical mouse- and touch-orientated UIs with + interactive and non- interactive scroll bars, respectively. + * Added a "policy" property, which holds whether the scroll bar is shown + always/never/as needed (default). + + - ScrollView: + * Added ScrollView. On touch, ScrollView enables flicking and makes + the scroll bars non-interactive. When interacted with a mouse device, + flicking is disabled and the scroll bars are interactive. + + - Slider: + * Added support for multi-touch. + * Added a "live" property that determines whether the slider provides live + updates for the "value" property while the handle is dragged. + * [QTBUG-57203] Added a moved() signal that is emitted whenever the + slider is interactively moved by the user by using either touch, + mouse, wheel, or keys. + * Fixed handling of inverted wheel events (natural touchpad scrolling + direction on macOS). + + - SpinBox: + * [QTBUG-56837] Added inputMethodHints and inputMethodComposing + properties for controlling the input method when using editable spin + boxes. + * [QTBUG-57203] Added a valueModified() signal that is emitted whenever + the value of a spin box has been interactively modified by the user by + using either touch, mouse, wheel, or keys. + * [QTBUG-60356] Forwarded focus to the internal editor of an editable + spin box. + + - StackView: + * [QTBUG-56801] Added attached "StackView.visible" property that can be + used to control whether items below the top- most item are kept + visible. + * [QTBUG-57266] Prevented pushing duplicate items. + * [QTBUG-59034] Fixed pop/replace exit transition leak, sometimes leading + to random crashes since a transition could have been left running in the + background at destruction time. + * [QTBUG-59098] Prevented StackView filtering mouse ungrab events to avoid + MouseAreas being stuck in the pressed state. + * [QTBUG-59634] Improved component creation errors by using the standard + QML warning system that gives a context/location for the error. + + - SwipeDelegate: + * [QTBUG-57192] Added "swipe.enabled" property to allow disabling of + swiping. + * Added swipe.open(side) method that can be used to programmatically + open the side item on the specified side, which can be either + SwipeDelegate.Left or SwipeDelegate.Right. + * Added swipe.opened() and swipe.closed() signals, which are emitted + when the delegate has been opened or closed by swipe, and the + respective transition has finished. + * Added a swipe.transition property that holds the transition that is + applied when a swipe is released, or swipe.open() or swipe.close() is + called. + + - SwipeView: + * [QTBUG-56031] Added "orientation" property. + + - TabBar: + * [QTBUG-57858] Added contentWidth and contentHeight properties that are + automatically calculated based on the total size of the tab items, but + can be manually overridden if desired. This fixes an issue that TabBar + was not able to reliably calculate an implicit size, and could in + certain scenarios enter an infinite loop due to a circular dependency + between the items' sizes and the tabbar's size. + + - TextArea: + * [QTBUG-55999] Fixed the horizontal alignment of the placeholder text + in right-to-left UIs. + * TextArea has been made to work inside ScrollView, providing necessary + scroll bars out of the box. + + - TextField: + * [QTBUG-55999] Fixed the horizontal alignment of the placeholder text + in right-to-left UIs. + + - Tumbler: + * Added a "moving" property that describes whether the tumbler is + currently moving, due to the user either dragging or flicking the + tumbler. + +**************************************************************************** +* Styles * +**************************************************************************** + + - Added support for a QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_STYLE_PATH environment variable, + which can be used to specify lookup paths for Qt Quick Controls 2 + styles. This allows device manufacturers and Linux distributions to + specify a system-wide style installation folder that may be located + outside the Qt installation tree. + - Added support for a QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_STYLE_CONF environment variable, + which can be used to override the default location of the Qt Quick + 2 Controls configuration file (:/qtquickcontrols2.conf). + - QQuickStyle: + * Added availableStyles() method that returns the list of available + built-in styles. + +Default +-------- + - Visualized RangeSliders's range. + +Material +-------- + - [QTBUG-58797] Fixed cursor visibility for read-only editors. + +**************************************************************************** +* Platform * +**************************************************************************** + + - Menu: + * Fixed sub-menu handling when using the Qt Widgets fallbacks on + platforms that do not support native menus (Windows, for example). -- cgit v1.2.3
