****************************************************************************
* Source incompatible changes *
****************************************************************************
- QSslCertificate::subjectInfo() and QSslCertificate::issuerInfo() now
return a QStringList instead of a QString
- QSslCertificate::isValid() has been deprecated. Originally it only checked
the certificate dates, but later checking for blacklisting was added. Now
there's a more specific QSslCertificate::isBlacklisted() method.
- Unite clipping support has been removed from QPainter. The alternative is
to unite QRegion's and using the result on QPainter.
- QLibrary::resolve() now returns a function pointer instead of a void
pointer.
- QSslCertificate::alternateSubjectNames() is deprecated (but can be enabled
via QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE), use
QSslCertificate::subjectAlternativeNames() instead.
- QLibraryInfo::buildKey() has been removed. Likewise, the QT_BUILD_KEY
preprocessor #define has also been removed. The build-key is obsolete
and is no longer necessary.
- QCoreApplication::translate() will no longer return the source text when
the translation is empty. Use lrelease -removeidentical for optimization.
- Qt::escape() is deprecated (but can be enabled via
QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE), use QString::toHtmlEscaped() instead.
- QMetaType::construct() has been renamed to QMetaType::create().
- QTestLib:
* The QTRY_VERIFY and QTRY_COMPARE macros have been moved into QTestLib.
These macros formerly lived in tests/shared/util.h but are now provided
by including the <QtTest/QtTest> header.
* The QTEST_NOOP_MAIN macro has been removed from the API. If a test is
known at compile-time to be inapplicable for a particular build it should
be omitted via .pro file logic, or the test should call QSKIP in the
initTestCase() method to skip the entire test and report a meaningful
explanation in the test log.
* The DEPENDS_ON macro has been removed from the API. This macro did nothing
and misled some users to believe that they could make test functions depend
on each other or impose an execution order on test functions.
* The QSKIP macro no longer has the "mode" parameter, which caused problems
for calculating test metrics, as the SkipAll mode hid information about
what test data was skipped. Calling QSKIP in a test function now behaves
like SkipSingle -- skipping a non-data-driven test function or skipping
only the current data row of a data-driven test function. Every skipped
data row is now reported in the test log.
- The QSsl::TlsV1 enum value was renamed to QSsl::TlsV1_0 .
- QAccessible:
* Internal QAccessible::State enum value HasInvokeExtension removed
- QAccessibleInterface:
* The "child" integer parameters have been removed. This moves the api
to be closer to IAccessible2.
This means several functions lose their integer parameter:
text(Text t, int child) -> text(Text t), rect(int child) -> rect()
setText(Text t, int child, const QString &text) -> setText(Text t, const QString &text)
role(int child) -> role(), state(int child) -> state()
relationTo(int child, const QAccessibleInterface *other, int otherChild) ->
relationTo(const QAccessibleInterface *other)
* Accessible-Action related functions have been removed. QAccessibleInterface
subclasses are expected to implement the QAccessibleActionInterface instead.
These functions have been removed:
QAccessibleInterface::userActionCount, QAccessibleInterface::actionText,
QAccessibleInterface::doAction
- QAccessibleEvent also loses the child parameter.
QAccessibleEvent(Type type, int child) -> QAccessibleEvent(Type type)
QAccessibleEvent::child() removed.
- QAccessibleActionInterface:
* Refactored to be based on action names. All functions have been changed from using
int parameters to strings.

General Improvements
--------------------
- The directory structure of the qtbase unit-tests has been reworked to
more closely match the directory structure of the code under test.
Integration tests have been moved to tests/auto/integrationtests.
Third party components
----------------------
-
****************************************************************************
* Library *
****************************************************************************
QtCore
------
* drop a bogus QChar::NoCategory enum value; the proper QChar::Other_NotAssigned
value is returned for an unassigned codepoints now.
QtGui
-----
* Accessibility has been refactored. The hierachy of accessible objects is implemented via
proper parent/child functions instead of using navigate which has been deprecated for this purpose.
Table and cell interfaces have been added to qaccessible2.h
QtWidgets
---------
* QWidget::setInputContext() is removed. Input contexts are now platform
specific.
QtNetwork
---------
* QHostAddress::isLoopback() API added. Returns true if the address is
one of the IP loopback addresses.
* QSslCertificate::serialNumber() now always returns the serial number in
hexadecimal format.
QtOpenGL
--------
QtScript
--------
QTestLib
--------
* [QTBUG-20615] Autotests can now log test output to multiple destinations
and log formats simultaneously.
