|
|
|
|
QtScript: Changes due to updating src/3rdparty/javascriptcore:
|
|
- It is no longer possible to delete an undeletable property from C++
|
|
using QScriptValue::setProperty().
|
|
- The QScriptEngineAgent::positionChange() callback will always report
|
|
a column number of 1.
|
|
- QScriptValueIterator will include the "length" property when iterating
|
|
over Array objects.
|
|
|
|
QtCore:
|
|
- QChar no longer carries the Q_PACKED tag on ARM. This flag was
|
|
used to allow proper alignment of QChar on 2 bytes on older ARM
|
|
ABIs, but it also allowed for unaligned access. Qt never generates
|
|
or uses unaligned access and the new EABI aligns as expected, so
|
|
the flag was removed.
|
|
- QTextBoundaryFinder is now consistent with ICU when it comes to
|
|
line breaking, reporting the index of the boundary at which the line
|
|
break should occur rather than the index of the character.
|
|

QtGui:
|
|
- QWidget::setLayoutDirection no longer affects the text layout
|
|
direction (Qt::LeftToRight or Qt::RightToLeft) of QTextEdit, QLineEdit
|
|
and widgets based on them. The default text layout direction
|
|
(Qt::LayoutDirectionAuto) is now detected from keyboard layout and
|
|
language of the text (conforms to Unicode standards). To
|
|
programmatically force the text direction of a QTextEdit, you can
|
|
change the defaultTextOption of the QTextDocument associated with that
|
|
widget with a new QTextOption of different textDirection property. For
|
|
QLineEdit, the only way so far is sending a Qt::Key_Direction_L/R
|
|
keyboard event to that widget.

QtNetwork:
|
|
- Qt does no longer provide its own CA bundle, but uses system APIs for
|
|
retrieving the default system certificates.
