= Qt on QNX =

== SDP 6.5 ==
* clarify: which Qt version supports which SDP (put it on the Wiki)
* drop SDP 6.5 for Qt 5.6 (because of improved C++11 support etc.)

== new QPA plugin ==
* new features: foreign windows, new properties, transparency...
* full support for foreign windows
* Qt app can act as a window manager
* release new screen features etc. on top of 6.6 (~ later this year?)
* new feature in screen: window manager events (e.g. resize child window)
* plugin will be upstreamed at some point
* current and new plugin can live concurrently for a while
* also comes with new event dispatcher (not using select() anymore, now: msg_recv)
* problem with grabbing window contents: can be implemented in QPA plugin, works with native screen
* virtual keyboard: part of QNX Car, but not normal SDP. There is a Qt virtual keyboard as well, running in the same process. Task: use virtual keyboard.

== CI on QNX ==
* 6.6 is on CI (only building), 6.5 is just nightly build
* we need manual QA (maybe from QNX), because there is nothing automated
* need to run auto tests on QNX as well, at least before the release

== QtCreator QNX support ==
* Creator 3.5: need to verify QNX is still working, now that BlackBerry is gone
* building BSPs from QtCreator: Momentics is the main tool for that

== BB10 in Qt ==
* hard to remove because it is intertwined with QNX code
* still working, leave it in for now, it might break or not
* still supported according to documentation: we need to remove claiming that it is supported
* sensors, bluetooth, NFC: this is all dead code, if nobody looks at it, it will be removed eventually
* if somebody from QNX wants to use old BB / QNX code, they should step up

== C++11 ==
* SDP 6.6 gcc version: 4.7
* there are 2 C++ stdlib implementations on QNX: GNU C++ / Dinkumware
* Dinkumware is a problem wrt. C++11
* Thiago: QNX might want to switch to libstdc++, if problem is only the license
* need to check qtbase test_auto_other_compiler to check for Dinkumware's C++11 support

== Chromium on QNX ==
* needed for QtWebEngine on QNX
* also needs C++11
* current Web technology is based on Webkit
* QtWebkit at least works on QNX
