+Important Changes
+-----------------
+
+ - 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.

+DownloadItem
+------------

+ - [QTBUG-58155] Fixed that (QWebEngine)DownloadItem::path() incorrectly
+   returned percentage-encoded filenames when the suggested path was based

+   when the path is not based on URL, but also dangerous as it can lead to

+   downloads to download items.

+   sending HTTP requests over the network using HTTP POST or with custom
+   HTTP headers.

+ - [QTBUG-58515] Fixed issue with QWebEngineView::setFocus().
+ - [QTBUG-58563] Fixed segfault when closing tab with active search.
+ - [QTBUG-58673] QWebEnginePage: Started calling the javaScriptConfirm
+   method also for unload dialogs (onbeforeunload handlers).
+ - [QTBUG-59599] Fixed QWebEngineHistory::currentItem() segfault.
+ - [QTBUG-60236] Fixed crash on exit with url-request interceptors.
