+****************************************************************************
+*                        Important Behavior Changes                        *
+****************************************************************************
+
+ - [QTBUG-57602] Introduce an extension interface for the virtual keyboard.
+   All the current input methods and some special keyboard layouts (e.g.
+   Hunspell, OpenWnn, etc.) have been moved to extensions. The extension
+   interface allows third party to create a new input method without having
+   to modify or rebuild the virtual keyboard. In addition, this change
+   makes it possible to add features and languages independently by copying
+   the desired extension to the system.
+ - [QTBUG-57602] Introduce a virtualkeyboard module, which can be linked
+   against an extension plugin. This module provides the C++ API necessary
+   for creating an input method.
+ - [QTBUG-57602] Wrap the entire virtual keyboard API into Qt namespace
+   (e.g. QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE/QT_END_NAMESPACE).
