| \title What's New in Qt 5.14 |
| \brief Lists the new features in Qt 5.14. |
| |
| \section1 New Features in Qt 5.14 |
| |
| \section2 Qt 3D Module |
| |
| \list |
| \li Overhauled the threading architecture. This includes the |
| removal of the aspect thread. |
| \li Overhauled the frontend/backend node sync. |
| \li Enabled QTransform to have access to the world matrix. |
| \li Introduced Scene3DView. |
| \li Scene3D is now in sync with QtQuick, and can render as an |
| underlay without an FBO. |
| \endlist |
| |
| \section2 Qt Bluetooth Module |
| |
| \list |
| \li Introduced a new, optional Win32 backend with support for Windows 7 |
| and 8. This backend is not built by default, nor is it part of the |
| pre-built packages. |
| \li QLowEnergyController: Introduced |
| \l {QLowEnergyController::}{AuthorizationError}. |
| \li Added the ability to include multiple manufacturer data entries per |
| manufacturer ID. |
| \endlist |
| |
| \section2 Qt Core Module |
| |
| \list |
| \li Added support in QCalendar for calendars other than Gregorian, by |
| implementation of suitable backends. |
| \li Added backends to implement the Gregorian, Jalali (Persian), Islamic |
| Civil, Milankovic, and Julian calendars. We look forward to other |
| contributions. |
| \li Added QColorConstants, a namespace providing constexpr QColor |
| instances that don't cost any runtime overhead. |
| \endlist |
| |
| \section2 Qt GUI Module |
| |
| \list |
| \li Updated High-DPI support: |
| \list |
| \li Introduced non-integer scale factors (for example, a scale factor of |
| 150%) that applications can opt-in to use. Use |
| QGuiApplication::highDpiScaleFactorRoundingPolicy or |
| QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY to set the rounding policy. |
| \li Added the QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING environment variable, enabling |
| high-DPI scaling based on display DPI. This replaces |
| QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR (now deprecated), and corresponds to |
| the Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling application attribute. |
| \li Added cross-platform support for the QT_FONT_DPI environment |
| variable, for the purpose of developing and testing with specific |
| DPI values. |
| \endlist |
| |
| \li Added color-space support for images; reading and writing color-spaces |
| from JPEG, PNG, WebP and TIFF images, and performing color-space |
| transformation on images. |
| \li Improvements to QTextDocument and QTextTable styling: |
| \list |
| \li Added per-edge border styling via QTextTableCellFormat. |
| \li Added border-collapse mode. |
| \li Added support for (partial) HTML table style import and export. |
| \endlist |
| |
| \li Added support for reading and writing Markdown format to QTextDocument, |
| as an alternative to HTML. |
| \endlist |
| |
| \section2 Qt Multimedia Module |
| |
| \list |
| \li Added QVideoFrame::Format_YUV422P. |
| \li Introduced support for the GStreamer OpenGL plugin. |
| \endlist |
| |
| \section2 Qt Network Module |
| |
| \list |
| \li Introduced the HTTP/2 Configuration API. |
| \li Introduced network connectivity monitoring. |
| \li Added support for Kerberos proxy authentication. |
| \endlist |
| |
| \section2 Qt QML Module |
| |
| \list |
| \li Added qmlRegisterSingletonInstance() function. This allows to expose a |
| QObject as a singleton to QML, without having to create a factory |
| function as required by qmlRegisterSingletonType(). It is meant as a |
| type safe replacement of setContextProperty() in common usages. |
| \li Added qmlRegisterAnonymousType() as a replacement for |
| qmlRegisterType(). It allows to specify the URI and major version, |
| which enables better tooling support. |
| \li Added an experimental -U option to \c qmllint. When set, access to |
| unqualified identifiers generates warnings. |
| \endlist |
| |
| \section2 Qt Quick Module |
| |
| \list |
| \li Added a preview of the graphics API independent scenegraph |
| renderer as an opt-in feature. This allows running qualifying Qt Quick |
| applications on top of Vulkan, Metal, or Direct3D 11, instead of OpenGL. |
| Currently supported platforms: |
| \list |
| \li Windows 10 (Direct3D) |
| \li Linux with X11/xcb (Vulkan) |
| \li \macos (Metal or Vulkan with MoltenVK) |
| \li Android 7.0+ (Vulkan) |
| \endlist |
| |
| \li Added support for the Markdown format (including CommonMark and GitHub |
| dialects) to \l [QML] Text and \l [QML] TextEdit as an alternative to |
| HTML. This includes the GitHub checklist extension, allowing to toggle |
| checkboxes in a TextEdit. |
| \li Switched \l [QML] TextEdit to use an \e {I-beam cursor} by default, and |
| a \e {pointing-hand cursor} when hovering over a checkbox or a link. |
| Default cursors can be overridden. |
| \li Added \l [QML] WheelHandler, an event handler for the mouse wheel, and |
| optionally for emulated mouse wheel events coming from a trackpad. |
| \li Added BoundaryRule in Qt.labs.animation: a PropertyValueInterceptor that |
| restricts the range of values a numeric property can have, applies |
| "resistance" when overshooting a value, and provides the ability to |
| animate it back to its normal range. It's particularly useful in |
| combination with WheelHandler, providing physics similar to |
| \l [QML] Flickable. |
| \li Added \e currentFrame and \e frameCount properties to \l [QML] Image |
| and \l [QML] BorderImage, just as \l [QML] AnimatedImage has; |
| for example, this allows choosing an individual icon from an .ICO file |
| that contains multiple icons. |
| \li Added \l [QML] PathPolyline and \l [QML] PathMultiline as additional |
| ways of drawing and/or filling arbitrary polygons and sets of polygons |
| with Qt Quick Shapes. |
| \endlist |
| |
| \section2 Qt Serial Bus Module |
| |
| \list |
| \li Added operators to compare QCanBusDevice::Filter for equality or |
| inequality. |
| \li Added the QCanBusDevice::OperationError and QCanBusDevice::TimeoutError |
| codes to signal operation and timeout errors. |
| \li Added the QCanBusDevice::busStatus() function to query the bus status |
| from the CAN bus device. |
| \li Added the QCanBusDevice::resetController() function to release the CAN |
| controller from bus off state. |
| \li SocketCAN: Added the configuration parameter QCanBusDevice::ProtocolKey |
| to use another protocol inside the protocol family PF_CAN. |
| \li SocketCAN: If \c libsocketcan is available, the CAN bus bitrate can be |
| retrieved and set at runtime. |
| \li PeakCAN: Added support for PCAN-USB devices on \macos by using the |
| \e MacCAN library. |
| \li Exposed the underlying QIODevice used for Modbus communication. This |
| enables, for example, setting the serial port hardware flow control |
| (RTS/CTS). |
| \endlist |
| |
| \section2 Qt Test Module |
| |
| \list |
| \li Introduced \c initMain() function to perform any initialization that |
| must happen before QApplication exists. |
| \endlist |
| |
| \section2 Qt WebEngine Module |
| |
| \list |
| \li Updated to Chromium 77. |
| \li Added a new API to control the life-cycle of QWebEnginePage. |
| \endlist |
| |
| \section2 Qt Widgets Module |
| |
| \list |
| \li Added support for the Markdown format (including CommonMark and GitHub |
| dialects) to QTextEdit and QTextBrowser as an alternative to HTML. |
| This includes the GitHub checklist extension, allowing to toggle |
| checkboxes if the widget is editable. QTextBrowser::setSource() detects |
| Markdown based on the file extension. |
| \endlist |
| |
| \section1 Platform Changes |
| |
| \b Android |
| |
| \list |
| \li Android now requires NDKr20+. |
| \li Added multi-ABI build in one go. By default, all Android supported ABIs |
| (arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64, x86) are built. ANDROID_ABIS qmake |
| variable can be used for selecting specific ABIs. |
| \li Added support for the new AAB package format, which allows Google Play |
| deployment of a single application bundle containing binaries for all |
| supported ABIs. |
| \endlist |
| |
| |
| \section1 New Modules |
| |
| \list |
| \li \l {Qt Quick Timeline} - Enables keyframe-based animations and |
| parameterization. |
| \endlist |
| |
| \section1 Technology Preview Modules |
| |
| \list |
| \li \l {Qt Quick 3D} - A high-level API for creating 3D content for user |
| interfaces from Qt Quick. |
| \endlist |
| |
| \section1 Qt for Automation Modules |
| |
| \b {Qt KNX} |
| |
| \list |

| and security). |
| \endlist |
| |
| \b {Qt MQTT} |
| |

| |
| \list |
