| Qt 5.11 introduces many new features and improvements as well as bugfixes |
| over the 5.10.x series. For more details, refer to the online documentation |
| included in this distribution. The documentation is also available online: |
| |
| http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/index.html |
| |
| The Qt version 5.11 series is binary compatible with the 5.10.x series. |
| Applications compiled for 5.10 will continue to run with 5.11. |

| **************************************************************************** |
| * Qt 5.11.0 Changes * |
| **************************************************************************** |
| |
| QtLocation |
| ---------- |
| |
| - Qt.labs.location |
| * A new experimental QML plugin introduced, Qt.labs.location, which |
| offers two new categories of QML elements: Map Objects and the |
| Navigator type. Both are experimental, not supposed to work in every |
| setup (check documentation). This plugin can be disabled at configure |
| time, through the location-labs-plugin feature. |
| * Map objects are supposed to be QQuickItem-less equivalents of |
| Map Items. They are supposed to be easy to implement in plugins, and |
| to introduce minimal overhead. They come with a reference |
| implementation based on QSGNodes, that is supposed to work in all of the |
| currently offered raster based plugins. |
| At the present, the MapboxGL plugin does not offer map objects support. |
| * The Navigator type is a new QML api to expose turn-by-turn navigation |
| functions present in plugins. It requires a plugin supporting |
| one of the Navigation capabilities to actually work. |
| At the present, none of the open source plugins have these capabilities. |
| |
| - MapParameter |
| * MapParameter type now deprecated and re-registered under the DynamicParameter |
| name. |
| |
| - QGeoServiceProvider/QGeoServiceProviderFactory |
| * Added QGeoServiceProviderFactoryV2, capable of producing |
| QNavigationManagerEngine objects. |
| Note: QNavigationManagerEngine is private API. |
| |
| - QGeoPath |
| * The path property changed type, from QList<QGeoCoordinate> to |
| QVariantList. This is binary-compatible with the previous release, |
| and source-compatible in QML. |
| It may, however, introduce source incompatibilities when using |
| the QObject property API in C++ (::property and ::setProperty), for |
| example in the generation of language bindings. |
| For the regular user-code, the use case was deemed as rare enough |
| (since QGeoShape has a public setter/getter for the path) to not cause |
| any problem. |
| As the beta phase passed without issues, this change was therefore left in place. |
| |
| - QGeoRoute |
| * QGeoRoute, QGeoRouteSegment and QGeoManeuver private implementation are |
| now (privately) exported and can be subclassed in plugins to provide |
| custom private implementations. |
| * QGeoRouteRequest now allows to specify extra parameters in QVariantMap form. |
| * RouteQuery (QDeclarativeGeoRouteQuery) now allows to specify extra parameters |
| through Map/DynamicParameters. |
| * Added extended attributes to QGeoManeuver/QDeclarativeGeoManeuver. |
| * [QTBUG-64066] Introduced new Waypoint QML type, intended to replace |
| QGeoCoordinate as mean to specify waypoints in a RouteQuery. |
| |
| - QPlace |
| * QPlace private implementation is now (privately) exported and can be |
| subclassed in plugins to provide custom private implementations. |
| * QPlaceContent::Type has a new value, CustomType. |
| |
| - QDeclarativeGeoMap |
| * [QTBUG-66315] Fixed a crash calling Map.clearMapItems before Map is |
| initialized. |
| * Fixed MapGestureArea not emitting when controlled with scroll wheel. |
| * [QTBUG-66880] Fixed clearData not triggering scene update. |
| * [QTBUG-67580] Fixed crash in QQuickGeoMapGestureArea. |
| * [QTBUG-67759] Fixed crash when calling clearData at startup. |
| |
| - Map Items |
| * [QTBUG-66758] Fixed re-set map items rendering stale geometry. |
| * [QTBUG-38459] Fixed the geometry of map items so that, if layers.enabled |
| is set to true, the scene graph renderer will not cut the items borders |
| anymore. |
| * [QTBUG-66692, QTBUG-66830] Fixed polyline geometry generation. |
| * [QTBUG-62086, QTBUG-65833] Fixed MapItemView not setting context data |
| upon item deletion. |
| * [QTBUG-67765] Fixed interaction with Map Items borders. |
| |
| - Plugins |
| * Mapbox: Added OnlinePlacesFeature, PlaceRecommendationsFeature, SearchSuggestionsFeature |
| and LocalizedPlacesFeature. |
| * Mapbox: Added OnlineGeocodingFeature, ReverseGeocodingFeature and LocalizedGeocodingFeature. |
| * Mapbox/OSM: OSRM backend now returns extended attributes for the maneuvers, such as |
| bearing_before, bearing_after, instruction, type and modifier. |
| * Mapbox/OSM: OSRM backend now uses Waypoint's bearing when sending a route request. |
| * Mapbox/OSM: Added OSRM's {leg,step}_index extra attribute to QGeoManeuver. |
| * Mapbox: Supported Mapbox Directions API voice & banner instructions. |
| * MapboxGL: Added map margins support via 'margins' map parameter. |
| * HERE: the plugin now uses Waypoint's bearing when sending a route request. |
| * OSM: supported the query limit parameter in the nominatim backend. |
| |
| |
| QtPositioning |
| ---------- |
| |
| * [QTBUG-65937] Metatype for QGeoPositionInfo is now declared and registered. |
| This change introduces a potential source incompatibility, as existing user code may |
| contain the type registration already. |
