****************************************************************************
* Qt 5.9.1 Changes *
****************************************************************************
Deprecation Notice
------------------
- The following platforms or toolchains are deprecated and will be
removed as of Qt 5.11:
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2013
Important Behavior Changes
--------------------------
- The Q_REQUIRED_RESULT macro now expands to the C++17 attribute
[[nodiscard]] if the compiler supports it. Code using this macro needs
to pay attention to its placement, as C++ function attributes must come
before the declaration, unlike the GCC extension that this macro
previously expanded to.
Binary Compatibility Note
-------------------------
- The variable QOperatingSystemVersion::MacOSHighSierra was added in this
release. Code that uses this variable will not run under Qt 5.9.0. If
backwards compatibility is desired, use instead
QOperatingSystemVersion(QOperatingSystemVersion::MacOS, 10, 13)
Third-Party Code
----------------
- Sqlite was updated to version 3.16.2.
- Deleted the src/3rdparty/atspi2 directory.
QtCore
------
- [QTBUG-60558] Fixed a bug that caused QInternal::unregisterCallback to
crash on exit.
- [QTBUG-61034] QT_NO_EXCEPTIONS is now reliably set when using Clang, even
in Objective C++ mode.
- QHash/QMultiHash:
* [QTBUG-60395] Fixed operator== so that two containers compare equal when
there are multiple values with the same key.
- QStorageInfo
* [QTBUG-61096] Fixed a hang on certain systems when retrieving
information from unresponsive filesystems.
- QTimeZone:
* [QTBUG-60595] Fixed sending IANA standard UTC-offset QTimeZones
through QDataStream, which previously came out invalid after
deserialization.
moc
---
- [QTBUG-61204] moc no longer errors out if a C++ keyword is #define'ed
Platform Specific Changes
-------------------------
- macOS / iOS:
* [QTBUG-41978] QCollator now respects the ignorePunctuation property on
Apple based platforms correctly.
* [QTBUG-61205] Fixed the architecture information in QSysInfo.
* QSysInfo and QOperatingSystemVersion now support the newest versions of
Apple's operating systems.
* [QTBUG-61053] Fixed SSL certificate verification on iOS with Secure
Transport back-end.

configure & build system
------------------------
- [QTBUG-58372] The SQL driver plugins can be built separately again.
Note that it is necessary to configure the whole sqldrivers directory.
- [QTBUG-60925][Unix] Fixed library retrieval from pkg-config. Again.
- [QTBUG-60936] Fixed module version number in Qt modules' cmake config files.
- [QTBUG-61017] Fixed configure hanging upon selecting commercial license.
- [QTBUG-61044] Fixed license checker invocation on 32 bit systems.
- [MinGW] The gold linker is no longer used.
qmake
-----
- [QTBUG-42830][Android] INSTALL targets are no longer created for static
libraries.
- [QTBUG-40825][QTBUG-59457][Unix] Fixed various makespecs to append shared
include and library locations only at the end of the search lists.
- [QTBUG-52383][Windows] midl and rc are now invoked with /NOLOGO.
- [QTBUG-58391][MSVC] MSVC extensions are not disabled any more when
querying the compiler for the predefined macros to pass to moc.
- [QTBUG-59431][VS] Fixed parsing of /utf-8 option. Again.
- [QTBUG-60895][VS] Fixed .vcxproj generation for ActiveQt server projects.
- [QTBUG-60059] qmake will now be more verbose when it fails to run the
compiler while querying the toolchain's properties.
- Various QT_<compiler>_VERSION variables were reverted to refer to the
toolchain Qt was built with. The current toolchain's versions can be
found in the QMAKE_<compiler>_VERSION variables.
- QMAKE_DEFAULT_{INC,LIB}DIRS is now populated also when using clang.
- [MinGW] Re-builds of static library projects will now create a new library
instead of updating the previously built one.
- [VS] Unknown /Zc:XXX options are no longer complained about.
