Important Changes

qtbase

  • f411be7a4a sqlite: Upgrade to 3.33.0
    Upgraded to v3.33.0

  • 47a842ee0c Fix included license text for PCRE2 - Stack-less Just-In-
    Time Compiler
    Changed license text of "PCRE2 - Stack-less Just-In-Time Compiler"
    component. The documentation (incorrectly) included the generic PCRE2
    license so far.

  • e2c0cc9bb3 Avoid integer overflow and division by zero
    Pen patterns are restrained to a maximum length and values of 1024,
    fixing oss-fuzz issue 25310.

  • 0943ad0241 Containers: call constructors even for primitive types
    The semantics of Q_PRIMITIVE_TYPE have been slightly changed. Qt now
    value-initializes types marked as primitive (which, by default, include
    trivial types) instead of simply using memset(0), which is wrong in some
    corner cases.

  • 5d33ae6d94 Update bundled libjpeg-turbo to version 2.0.6
    libjpeg-turbo was updated to version 2.0.6

qtwayland

  • b2ee9ff3 Client: Fix reverse screen order
    Fixed a bug where QGuiApplication::screens() and primaryScreen() would
    return initial screens in the reverse order they were added by the
    compositor. QGuiApplication::primaryScreen() will now return the first
    output added by the compositor.

  • 8fe61d79 Fix leaked subsurface wayland items
    Fixed a memory leak when creating subsurfaces.
