For more details, refer to the online documentation +included in this distribution. The documentation is also available online: + +https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/index.html + +The Qt version 5.15 series is binary compatible with the 5.14.x series. +Applications compiled for 5.14 will continue to run with 5.15. + +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 * +**************************************************************************** + +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 +--------- + + - Added a renderProcessPid() getter to QWebEnginePage and WebEngineView + which allows reading the process ID of the underlying render process. + - [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+ +General +------- + + - The qt-labs/qtpdf module was using an out-of-date version of pdfium.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. + -- cgit v1.2.3
