| * Important Behavior Changes * |
| **************************************************************************** |
| |
| - [QTBUG-47316] QDebug output for QStrings changed compared to Qt 5.5.0 to |
| more closely match the output of previous Qt versions. Like Qt 5.5.0, |
| QDebug will escape non-printable characters, the backslash and quote |
| characters, but will no longer escape the printable characters. |
| |
| **************************************************************************** |
| * Future Direction Notice * |
| **************************************************************************** |
| |
| - Qt 5.7 will begin requiring certain C++11 features in order to |
| compile. Due to bugs in the Clang compiler that comes with XCode 5.0, |
| that version will not be supported, despite what was noted in the Qt |
| 5.5.0 changelog. |
| The minimum compiler versions for Qt 5.7 release will be: |
| * Clang 3.3 (XCode 5.1 contains version 3.4) |
| * GCC 4.7 |
| * Intel C++ Composer XE 2013 SP1 (compiler version 14.0) on Linux and OS X |
| * Intel C++ Composer XE 2016 (compiler version 16.0) on Windows |
| * Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (compiler version 17.0) |
| |

| "%{time boot}" field in the logging framework's pattern to always |
| display the same value, instead of the time since boot. |
| |
| - QDate/QTime: |
| * Fixed a minor source-incompatibility between Qt 5.4 and 5.5.0 |
| involving sets of functions overloaded on QTime and some integer or |
| QDate and some integer. |

| * QDir::relativeFilePath() now returns "." instead of an empty string if |
| the given path is the same as the directory. |
| |
| - QLoggingCategory: |
| * Fixed behavior of default severity passed to constructor or |
| Q_LOGGING_CATEGORY with regards to QtInfoMsg, which was previously |
| treated as being more severe than QtFatalMsg. |

| * [QTBUG-47037] Fixed a wrong timezone conversion when the POSIX |
