+QtSerialBus was a technology preview in 5.6 and 5.7. With 5.8, the
+module leaves technology preview status and the API is fixed.
+The most important changes done in 5.8 are listed below.
+QtSerialBus is now binary compatible with following versions (5.9 etc.)

+QtSerialBus
+-----------
+
+ - QCanBus
+   * [QTBUG-53642] Changed the signature of createDevice() to use only
+     QString parameters. Furthermore, plugins() now returns a QStringList.
+   * [QTBUG-53642] Changed createDevice() to return an optional textual
+     error description.
+
+ - QCanBusDevice
+   * [QTBUG-52495] Added waitForFramesWritten() and waitForFramesReceived()
+     to QCanBusDevice.
+
+ - QCanBusFrame:
+   * [QTBUG-53171] Added toString() to QCanBusFrame.
+   * [QTBUG-49675][QTBUG-56720] Added CAN FD flag to distinguish CAN FD
+     frames from CAN 2.0 frames. In addition hasFlexibleDataRateFormat()
+     and setFlexibleDataRateFormat() function were added. It permits easier
+     identification of CAN FD frames.
+   * Changed the signature of two constructors.
+   * [QTBUG-51845] Cleaned up the usage of inline and nothrow throughout the class
+   * Improved validity checking for frame ids larger than 2^29
+
+ - QCanBusFrame::TimeStamp:
+   * Added TimeStamp::fromMicroSeconds() time stamps with normalized
+     microseconds and added the overflow to seconds.
+   * Removed the setSeconds() and setMicroSeconds() functions to avoid
+     confusion about unnormalized time stamps.
+
+ - Added basic support for Vector CAN devices
+ - Improved the implementation of the PeakCAN and TinyCAN implementation.
+ - Improved and fixed the CAN examples. In particular the examples were adjusted to
+   the various API changes.
+ - Improved the module and class documentation substantially
+ - Unified the interface names of the different plugins to follow a common rule:
+   The prefixes were unified, the numbering always starts with zero now.
+ - [QTBUG-55747] Fixed C+11 related code sections which failed to compile on OSX 10.11.6.
+ - Ported canbusutil tool to use QCommandLineParser and multiple other changes to
+   improve the tools internal implementation such as a more streamlined printing to stdout.
+ - [QTBUG-56331] Fixed module build on Android. The canbusutil tool was removed from
+   Android builds.
+ - [QTBUG-56886] Fixed handling of frameReceived() signals throughout all CAN examples.
+ - Converted the module to use the Qt Lite based configure changes in Qt
+ - [QTBUG-54834] Fixed handling of packets with payloads longer than 127
+   bytes by QModbusResponse.
+ - Added missing QDataStream operator<< for QModbus{Request,Response}.
