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 + +The Qt version 5.9 series is binary compatible with the 5.7.x series. +The Qt WebEngine 5.8.0 had a mistake that makes builds against it incompatible +with Qt WebEngine 5.9. + +Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers +corresponding to tasks in the Qt Bug Tracker: + +https://bugreports.qt.io/ + +Each of these identifiers can be entered in the bug tracker to obtain more +information about a particular change. + + +**************************************************************************** +* General * +**************************************************************************** + +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. + + +Chromium Snapshot +----------------- + + - Updated the Chromium version to 56.0.2924.122. + - Changed the Chromium build-system to GN. + + +**************************************************************************** +* APIs * +**************************************************************************** + +General +------- + + - Took Q_ENUM to use on QtWebEngineWidgets interfaces. + - [QTBUG-56677] Made printing to a PDF file emit the signal + pdfPrintingFinished() in both QQuickWebEngineView and QWebEnginePage. + - Added a setting to again allow insecure origins to request geolocation. + + +DownloadItem +------------ + + - [QTBUG-58155] Fixed that (QWebEngine)DownloadItem::path() incorrectly + returned percentage-encoded filenames when the suggested path was based + on a URL. Percentage-decoding the path is generally not only incorrect + when the path is not based on URL, but also dangerous as it can lead to + downloads that escape the download folder. + - [QTBUG-56839] Added a downloadInterruptReason property for interrupted + downloads to download items. + + +Qt WebEngineWidgets +------------------- + + - [QTBUG-53314, QTBUG-53372] Added the QWebEngineHttpRequest class for + sending HTTP requests over the network using HTTP POST or with custom + HTTP headers. + + - [QTBUG-58673] QWebEnginePage: Started calling the javaScriptConfirm + method also for unload dialogs (onbeforeunload handlers). -- cgit v1.2.3
