Qt 4.5.2-tower
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Qt for S60 "Tower" release is the fifth pre-release from the Qt for
|
||
|
|
S60 porting project. "Tower" is based on the Qt 4.5 codebase (mostly Qt 4.5.2).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This list of changes lists S60 specific fixes only,
|
||
|
|
for general 4.5.x changes go to:

Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers

|
corresponding to tasks in the Task Tracker:

|

Each of these identifiers can be entered in the task tracker to obtain
|
||
|
|
more information about a particular change. Sometimes the task is internal
|
||
|
|
and cannot be viewed by the public, a lot of them are non-public for Qt for
|
||
|
|
S60 at the moment.

New modules
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Input methods
|
||
|
|
* Added events to support opening and closing the virtual keyboard, called
|
||
|
|
software input panel in Qt.
|
||
|
|
* Added an option to QApplication to choose between single or double click
|
||
|
|
input panel activation.
|
||
|
|
* Added input method hints API to Qt. These can be used to instruct input methods
|
||
|
|
to only allow certain characters or tailor their appearance.
|
||
|
|
* Added Qt::ImAnchorPosition to support querying for selections through input
|
||
|
|
methods.
|
||
|
|
* Added QInputMethodEvent::Selection to support setting the selection through
|
||
|
|
input methods.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Phonon
|
||
|
|
* The Phonon library is now part of Qt, but it comes without a backend.
|
||
|
|
This means that applications can build and run against the Phonon
|
||
|
|
library, but there is currently no S60 backend plugin providing actual
|
||
|
|
multimedia playback. Possible alternatives such as Helix and MMF are
|
||
|
|
being investigated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- QtSql
|
||
|
|
* Implemented QtSql module with sqlite3 backend. For now backend is
|
||
|
|
provided only in binary format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- QtWebkit
|
||
|
|
* Experimental webkit build for S60. Can be enabled by passing -webkit
|
||
|
|
to configure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New classes
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- QScopedPointer
|
||
|
|
* Smart pointer, which deletes pointer when destroyed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ported classes

|
--------------
|
||
|
|

|
|
- QColormap
|
||
|
|
* Added basic implementation of QColormap for Symbian.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- QLocalSocket and QLocalServer
|
||
|
|
* Added support for QLocalSocket and QLocalServer on Symbian.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- QSound
|
||
|
|
* Implemented CMdaAudioPlayerUtility based Symbian backend for QSound.

|
FP 1 and FP 2.

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
AknAppUi::SetOrientationL.
|
||
|
|
* Generating MouseEvents has gone through several changes.

due to the fact that CSendUi requires extensive capabilities to work

|
|
correctly. Currently e-mail sending with qdesktopservices::openUrl
|
||

|
as well as old Symbian/S60 structure
|

|
|

- S60 version specific plugins
|

|
|
* Isolated S60 version dependent functionality to S60 version specific
|
||
|
|
plugins (qts60plugin_x_y.dll) to make it possible for single build to
|

run on any supported device, even if with reduced functionality on

some.

- Qt libs
|
||
|
|
* Qt libs are now built with "All -Tcb" capabilities always. It is now
|
||
|
|
always necessary to run patch_capabilities.pl script if self-signing
|
||
|
|
of Qt libs is desired.
|
||
|
|
* QtCore and QtSql made UNPAGED when installed via SIS file as a
|
||
|
|
workaround for an obscure crash when they are paged.
|
||
|
|
* qt_libs.pro updated to reflect Open C dependencies, as Qt requires
|
||
|
|
1.5.0 and newer release.
|
||
|
|
* Qt libs are now build with the "STDCPP" mmp flag. On platforms from
|
||
|
|
TB9.2, Qt code will throw std::bad_alloc exceptions on allocation
|
||
|
|
failure.
