+* General *
+****************************************************************************
+
+Behavior Changes
+----------------
+
+ - XSS Auditing has been removed, and the XSSAuditingEnabled setting no
+ longer has any effect.
+ - [QTBUG-79864] The viz display compositor is now used by default on all
+ platforms, but can be disabled with --disable-viz-display-compositor.
+ - The network layer integration has been rewritten to use Chromium's network
+ service, and now runs in a separate sandboxed process by default.
+ - [QTBUG-83656] CTRL+mouse wheel page zoom fixed, and now works by default.
+
+
+Chromium Snapshot
+-----------------
+
+ - Updated the Chromium version to 80.0.3987.163
+ - Applied security fixes from Chrome up to version 81.0.4044.122
+
+
+General
+-------
+
+ - Fixed hardware accelerated video decoding on Windows and macOS.
+ - Updated where to look for Google Chrome's CDM plugin.
+ - [QTBUG-82390] Disabled picture-in-picture to avoid non-functional button
+ showing up.
+ - Command-line specified PAC files can now be loaded from QRC.
+ - [QTBUG-82012] Placeholder for missing PPAPI plugins added.
+
+
+Libraries
+---------
+

+ - [QTBUG-83338] Avoid decoding HTML in default JavaScript message handlers.
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Qt PDF *
+****************************************************************************
+
+General
+-------
+
+ - The qt-labs/qtpdf module was using an out-of-date version of pdfium.
+ Development will now continue in the qtwebengine repository in order to
+ reuse Qt WebEngine's pdfium build system integration.
+ - QtPdf is still in Tech Preview.
+ - It's now possible to build QtPDF for iOS (even though Qt WebEngine does not).
+ - Added a Qt Quick API (import QtQuick.Pdf):
+ * Added an image plugin: Image { source: "my.pdf"; currentFrame: 2 } is
+ enough to view the third page in a PDF file.
+ * High-level API for full-featured viewers: PdfScrollablePageView shows
+ one page at a time; PdfMultiPageView allows flicking vertically from
+ page to page. These are implemented in QML and packaged with the module.
+ - Low-level QtQuick API:
+ * PdfDocument provides API for the document and its metadata.
+ * PdfSearchModel can find a text string and provides information about
+ the locations where it is found on each page, which can be listed in
+ a ListView and visualized by using a Repeater to instantiate
+ QtQuick.Shapes for the bounding boxes.
+ * PdfSelection allows selecting text and copying to the clipboard;
+ visualization of the selected region is done via QtQuick.Shapes.
+ * PdfLinkModel provides information about the links in the document;
+ visual feedback and clicking can be handled with QtQuick.Shapes
+ and TapHandler, respectively.
+ * PdfNavigationStack is a model for implementing forward/back navigation.
