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

 - [QTBUG-34345][QTBUG-26008][QTBUG-26430] QPrinter no longer allows you to
   set an invalid printer name.
 - [QTBUG-34141] Parsing of Qt::ISODate by QDate::fromString() and
   QDateTime()::fromString() is not as lenient as before, the date
   component separators are now required to be non-numeric. This means a
   string like "2000901901" will no longer be recognized as a valid ISO
   Date, but "2000/01/01" will still be even though it doesn't strictly
   meet the ISO format of "2000-01-01".

   U+2212.
