qt6windows7/dist/changes-5.6.1

Qt 5.6.1 is a bug-fix release. It maintains both forward and backward
compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 5.6.0.

For more details, refer to the online documentation included in this
distribution. The documentation is also available online:

  https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/

The Qt version 5.6 series is binary compatible with the 5.5.x series.
Applications compiled for 5.5 will continue to run with 5.6.

****************************************************************************
*                   Important Behavior Changes                             *
****************************************************************************

 - Support for DirectFB is disabled by default, due to lack of
   development in upstream. To enable the platform plugin, pass the
   -directfb option to configure.
 - [QTBUG-44964] The new X event compression feature that was added in 5.6.0
   no longer applies to motion events from drawing tablets.

configure & build system
------------------------

 - The configure -D/-I/-L/-l/-R options do not affect the build of Qt's
   host tools any more when cross-building. While this usually improves
   the chances of a build succeeding, it may also require adjustments.

qmake
-----

 - [Unix] Paths passed to configure -R are not automatically used by 3rd
   party projects any more. Use QMAKE_RPATHDIR if your project explicitly
   depends on external libraries. Note that this is not needed for Qt or
   its transitive dependencies.
 - Expansions of ${QMAKE_FILE_IN_BASE} and ${QMAKE_FILE_OUT_BASE} in extra
   compilers are now automatically quoted.

****************************************************************************

QtCore
------

 - QObject:
   * [QTBUG-52542] If the compiler supports variadic templates, functors
     connected to signals will no longer be copied each time the signal is
     emitted.

 - QRect:
   * Fixed integer overflow in center(). This fixes the result for some
     corner-cases such as a 1x1 rectangle at (INT_MIN, INT_MIN), for which the
     previous implementation could return anything (due to invoking undefined
     behavior), but commonly returned (0, 0).

 - QStringRef:
   * Fixed relational operators against (const char*) to return the correct
     result.

QtGui
-----

 - [QTBUG-50199] QWheelEvent::phase() now returns zero rather than
   Qt::ScrollUpdate when the wheel event comes from an actual non-emulated
   mouse wheel, and the QT_ENABLE_MOUSE_WHEEL_TRACKING environment variable
   is set.

- Image:
   * [QTBUG-50745] Fixed possible crash in QImage::pixel() for mono or indexed
     images.

QtWidgets
---------

 - Dialogs:
   * [QTBUG-51148] Fixed font dialog support for fonts with a non-existent
     family name and/or pixel size.

 - QHeaderView:
   * [QTBUG-50171] Fixed a repainting issue when items had been reordered.

 - QListWidget:
   * [QTBUG-15741] Fixed a bug that caused the default drop action to be
     ignored when using icon mode.


****************************************************************************
*                      Platform-specific Changes                           *
****************************************************************************

Android
-------

 - The navigation bar is now hidden only on Android API level 19 and above.

OS X
----
 - [QTBUG-50262] QStandardPaths now returns the correct display name for the
   download folder.
 - [QTBUG-7000] QMacPrintEngine now really sets the printer resolution.
 - [QTBUG-48138] QPinchGesture on OS X now behaves like on other platforms:
   totalScaleFactor is the magnitude of the pinch and scaleFactor is the delta
   for the current event.

Windows
-------

 - Text:
   * [QTBUG-18711] Fixed disabling hints for application fonts.
     For example, when automatic scaling by device pixel ratio is in effect.
   * [QTBUG-47141] Made it possible to disable antialiasing for text when
     drawing into images.

X11/XCB
-------

 - [QTBUG-49071] Fixed failure to deliver focusIn events on hide/show.
