For more details, refer to the online documentation +included in this distribution. The documentation is also available online: + +http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/index.html + +With the exception noted below, the Qt version 5.9 series is binary compatible +with the 5.8.x series.

This class + is primarily useful from QML, and there is little reason for it to used in + user C++ code. Any compositor using or instantiating the QtWaylandCompositor class + from C++ will have to be recompiled against Qt 5.9. Failure to do so may lead to crashes, + buffer overruns, or undefined behavior. + +Client +------ + + - Added xdg_shell_v6 support for Qt clients. + + - Clients now default to using xdg_shell_v6 if available, else wl_shell. + + - Deprecated the QT_WAYLAND_USE_XDG_SHELL environment variable in favor of + QT_WAYLAND_SHELL_INTEGRATION, which can be set to one of [ivi-shell, wl-shell, + xdg-shell-v5, xdg-shell-v6]. + + - Fixed crash when the receiver of a paste closes the pipe. + + +Compositor +---------- + + - QWaylandQuickOutput: Automatically set the compositor if output is a child of + the compositor. + + - QWaylandXdgSurfaceV5 now sets the windowType property and behaves like + other shell surface implementations. + + - QWaylandXdgPopupV5 position property now has change notification. + + - [QTBUG-55303] Added support for running compositors with custom device pixel ratio. + + - [QTBUG-58299] Fixed wayland-egl compositing using NVIDIA graphics. -- cgit v1.2.3
