Release note  
============  
  
Qt 6.4.2 release is a patch release made on the top of Qt 6.4.1.  
As a patch release, Qt 6.4.2 does not add any new functionality but provides  
bug fixes and other improvements and maintains both forward and backward  
compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 6.4.1.  

For detailed information about Qt 6.4, refer to the online documentation  
included in this distribution. The documentation is also available online:  
  
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/index.html  
  
The Qt version 6.4 series is binary compatible with the 6.3.x series.  
Applications compiled for 6.3 will continue to run with 6.4.  
  
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.  
  
To make it easier to port to Qt 6, we have created a porting guide to  
summarize those changes and provide guidance to handle them. In the  
guide, you can find links to articles about changes that may affect your  
application and help you transition from Qt 5.15 to Qt 6:
