    \title Changes to Qt Sensors

    \brief Migrate Qt Sensors to Qt 6.

    Qt 6 is a result of the conscious effort to make the framework more
    efficient and easy to use.

    We try to maintain binary and source compatibility for all the public
    APIs in each release. But some changes were inevitable in an effort to
    make Qt a better framework.

    In this topic we summarize those changes in Qt Sensors, and provide
    guidance to handle them.

    \section1 Platform notes

    On Windows the Qt6 does not support the UWP (Universal Windows Platform)
    any longer. As such the QtSensors now builds on the Win32

    \section1 API changes

    \section2 Deleted typedef for qtimestamp

    The typedef for the historical, QtMobility-era, 'qtimestamp' has been
    removed. Use the actual type 'quint64' directly.

    \section2 Renamed 'sensor' type string to 'sensorType'

    The subclasses of QSensor implement a \e {char const*} string which defines
    the string that identifies the base sensor. This static \e type field
    shadowed the baseclass \l QSensor::type() method, leading to unnecessary
    compilation errors and consequent workarounds. The \e type string has been
    now renamed as \e sensorType.

    \section2 Renamed LidReading::backLidChanged property to \c backLidClosed

    The property name is now aligned with the \c frontLidClosed property of
    the same QML type.
