Important Changes
-----------------
- - [QTBUG-60565] Fixed that Chromium was incorrectly exporting its own new
- and delete operators in Qt 5.8.0. However, applications that linked and
- used those versions of new or delete will not be able to load with 5.9,
- where they no longer exist. This primarily affects shared Linux builds,
- where exported Qt symbols were tagged with Qt_5.
+ - Configure options are now handled by the global configure script. This
+ means options previously controlled by WEBENGINE_CONFIG options should
+ now use configure flags. For instance the configure command-line option
+ -proprietary-codecs replaces WEBENGINE_CONFIG+=use_proprietary_codecs.
+ - [QTBUG-54650, QTBUG-59922] Accessibility is now disabled by default on
+ Linux, like it is in Chrome, due to poor options for enabling it
+ conditionally and its heavy performance impact. Set the environment
+ variable QTWEBENGINE_ENABLE_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY to enable it again.
Chromium Snapshot
-----------------
- Updated the Chromium version to 56.0.2924.122.
+ - Security fixes from Chromium up to version 58.0.3029.96
+ Including fixes for: CVE-2017-5029, CVE-2017-5032, CVE-2017-5033,
+ CVE-2017-5034, CVE-2017-5036, CVE-2017-5039, CVE-2017-5040, CVE-2017-5044,
+ CVE-2017-5045, CVE-2017-5046, CVE-2017-5057, CVE-2017-5058, CVE-2017-5059,
+ CVE-2017-5060, CVE-2017-5061, CVE-2017-5067, CVE-2017-5068, CVE-2017-5068
