|
||||
- QIconEngineV2 was merged into QIconEngine
|
||||
You might need to adjust your code if it used a QIconEngine.
|
||||
|
||||
- qmake
|
||||
* Projects which explicitly set an empty TARGET are considered broken now.
|
||||
* The makespec and .qmake.cache do not see build pass specific variables any more.
|
||||
* load()/include() with a target namespace and infile()/$$fromfile() now start with
|
||||
an entirely pristine context.
|
||||
* Configure's -sysroot and -hostprefix are now handled slightly differently.
|
||||
The QT_INSTALL_... properties are now automatically prefixed with the sysroot;
|
||||
the raw values are available as QT_INSTALL_.../raw and the sysroot as QT_SYSROOT.
|
||||
The new QT_HOST_... properties can be used to refer to the Qt host tools.
|
||||
* Several functions and built-in variables were modified to return normalized paths.
|
||||
* The -(no-)exception flags in configure have been removed. Qt modules are now compiled
|
||||
without exceptions by default, as they do not use them and can neither handle them
|
||||
properly. Qt Core still has exceptions enabled to correctly throw bad_alloc exceptions
|
||||
in our tool classes.
|
||||
Whether code should be compiled with exception support enabled or disabled can be
|
||||
controlled by a CONFIG += exceptions/exceptions_off setting in the .pro file.
|
||||
|
||||
- QTextCodecPlugin has been removed since it is no longer used. All text codecs
|
||||
are now built into QtCore.

|

- Build System
|
||||
|
||||
* Remove qttest_p4.prf file. From now on we should explicitly enable the
|
||||
things from it which we want. Autotest .pro files should stop using
|
||||
'load(qttest_p4)' and start using 'CONFIG+=testcase' instead.
|
||||
* Qt has been split into numerous repositories. Configure covers mostly only qtbase's options.
|
||||
* Qt will now install CMake configuration files for all its libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
- configure
|
||||
|
||||
* The Mac OS X -dwarf2 configure argument has been removed. DWARF2 is always
|
||||
used on Mac OS X now.
|
||||
* The following options have been added: (-no)-force-asserts, (-no)-strip, (-no)-gui &
|
||||
(-no)-widgets, -device & -device-option, -archdatadir, -libexecdir & -qmldir,
|
||||
and numerous changes relating to specific Qt features and dependencies.
|
||||
* Configure will no longer call "qmake -recursive" by default, as the subsequent
|
||||
build invokes qmake as needed. Use -fully-process to restore the old behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
- qmake
|
||||
|
||||
* default_pre.prf is now evaluated per subproject & build pass, symmetrically
|
||||
to default_post.prf.
|
||||
* .qmake.conf files (.qmake.cache equivalent in source tree) are read now.
|
||||
* Project-specific mkspecs/ and features/ directories are supported now.
|
||||
QMAKEPATH and QMAKEFEATURES can be set in .qmake.{config,cache} to specifiy their
|
||||
location, and qmake will find them in the project's top-level directory automatically.
|
||||
* Mixing host and target subprojects is now supported. "default-host" makespec
|
||||
was added; option(host_build) enables its use.
|
||||
* QMAKE_MOC_OPTIONS variable is now available for passing additional parameters
|
||||
to the moc.
|
||||
* The CROSS_COMPILE variable and property can be used to parametrize the device
|
||||
and mingw makespecs.
|
||||
* QMAKE_RPATHLINKDIR (complementary to QMAKE_RPATHDIR) is now understood.
|
||||
* The "aux" TEMPLATE was added. Does not work with vcproj and xcode output files.
|
||||
* The properties QT_INSTALL_ARCHDATA, QT_INSTALL_LIBEXECS, QT_INSTALL_QML,
|
||||
QMAKE_SPEC & QMAKE_XSPEC were added. QT_INSTALL_DEMOS is obsolete.
|
||||
* The following functions have been added: $$sort_depends, $$resolve_depends,
|
||||
$$enumerate_vars, $$reverse, $$val_escape, $$format_number, $$shadowed,
|
||||
$$clean_path, $$system_path, $$shell_path, $$absolute_path, $$relative_path,
|
||||
$$system_quote, $$shell_quote, cache, write_file, touch, mkpath & log.
|
||||
defined can now query variables; $$cat and $$system support more splitting modes.
|
||||
qtCompileTest (available from configure.prf) was added.
|
||||
* Removed qttest_p4.prf. Use CONFIG+=testcase and other flags instead.
|
||||
* QMAKE_SUBSTITUTES can now copy files verbatim.
|
||||
* MSVC desktop builds now use -Zc:wchar_t.
|
||||
* The following variables were added: QMAKESPEC, _QMAKE_CONF_ & _QMAKE_SUPER_CACHE_.
|
||||
* QDBUSXML2CPP_{INTERFACES,ADAPTORS}_{HEADER,SOURCE}_FLAGS are now understood,
|
||||
and DBUS_{INTERFACES,ADAPTORS} support file groups with individual flags now.
|
||||
* QT_PRIVATE and PKGCONFIG_PRIVATE (analogous to LIBS_PRIVATE resp. PKGCONFIG) are now understood.
|
||||
* INSTALLS entries now support copying with subdirectory (e.g., entry.base = $$dirname(PWD)).
|
||||
* Defining QTPLUGIN in dynamically linked projects does not hurt any more.
|
||||
* CONFIG+=import_plugins will now cause plugin imports for QTPLUGIN being auto-generated.
|
||||
* Debug info generation can now be enabled also for release builds (CONFIG+=force_debug_info).
|
||||
* The following CONFIG flags have been deprecated in favor of QT module entries:
|
||||
qtestlib, qdbus, help, designer, uitools, qaxserver & qaxcontainer (the leading 'q'
|
||||
was stripped from the affected modules).
|
||||
* The IN_PWD alias for PWD was deprecated.
|
||||
* QMAKE_{DIST,}CLEAN support normalized path separators now.
|
||||
* CONFIG+=depend_includepath is on by default now. DEPENDPATH is unnecessary in most projects.
|
||||
* Makespecs should be adjusted in the following ways:
|
||||
* The QMAKE_INCDIR_QT, QMAKE_LIBDIR_QT, QMAKE_MOC, QMAKE_UIC, QMAKE_IDC, TEMPLATE & QT
|
||||
variables should not be defined any more. Furthermore, QMAKE_LIBS_X11SM is obsolete.
|
||||
* The qt, warn_on, release, & link_prl CONFIG flags should not be set any more.
|
||||
* The QMAKE_PLATFORM & QMAKE_COMPILER variables should be defined now.
|
||||
Several other variables should be defined by including files from mkspecs/common/.

-no-gcc-sysroot can be used for non-standard sysroot configurations.

* The -make option of the Windows configure was renamed to -make-tool.
|

-make now complements -no-make, like in the Unix version.
|
||||
* The object_with_source CONFIG flag was removed. Use object_parallel_to_source instead.
|

* Support for universal binaries on Mac OS has been removed.
|

* The processor architecture handling changed significantly. This affects the -arch & -*-endian
|

configure options, the QT_ARCH qmake variable, and more.
|
||||
* No "make_default" make targets will be generated any more. Use "make_first" instead.

* The "qmake" make targets are non-recursive now. Use "qmake_all" to recurse.
|
||||
* load() with paths relative to the current project is not supported any more.
|
||||
Use include() instead.
|
||||
* Persistent qmake properties are not versioned any more. Also, the vendor changed to
|
||||
"QtProject", so old settings are lost.
|
||||
* Support for the Borland toolchain was removed. Numerous obsolete makespecs were culled.
|
||||
* setcepaths.bat is gone. QMake-generated Makefiles are self-contained now.
|
||||
* moc_dir, rcc_dir and some other tool variables are not defined in Qt's .pc files any more;
|
||||
the generic host_bins is defined instead.
