Revision as of 10:26, 12 August 2016
New Features (within existing modules)
- Qt Core
- Added at(), operator[], mid(), right() and left() to QLatin1String
- Qt GUI
- QTouchEvent no have uniqueId and rotation
- Support for dithering when converting to all QImage formats
- Previously private QOpenGLTextureBlitter API is made public, to help QtWayland in particular
- Qt Quick

- Integrated the software backend (previously known as the Qt Quick 2D Renderer)
- Partial update support in the software backend (2D Renderer) to prevent expensive fullscreen updates when only small areas are changing
- Added an experimental Direct3D 12 backend
- Implemented caching of code and data structures generated from .qml/.js files to disk to reduce start-up time and memory consumption. The resulting .qmlc and .jsc cache files are memory mapped.
- Cleaned up touch and mouse event delivery and added a new internal class QQuickPointerEvent which is used for that purpose. This is the foundation for further improvements with regards to input event handling, but does not affect any code using Qt Quick yet.
