QtLocation
-----------

 - Added geoservices plugin to support ESRI mapping, geocoding and routing
   services.
 - Improved HERE geoservice plugin code base (improved warning) and converted
   the HERE endpoints to newer versions (away from Nokia endpoints. At the same time
   China specific URLs were removed.
 - Improved Mapbox plugin to cater for better cache customization and
   to support the standard box map modes.
 - Renamed various internal C++ functions to improve code readability
 - Added better high DPI support in the various geoservice provider plugins.
   For more details see QTBUG-53318, QTBUG-48868 and QTBUG-36949.
 - [QTBUG-45284] Added offline data support and improved cache handling in OSM
   geoservice plugin
 - Added routing support to Mapbox plugin
 - Added server side provider support for QtLocation. This enables the quicker
   selection of alternative providers by already deployed OSM applications in case
   an OSM based default provider changes T&Cs.
 - Removed QtSystemInfo dependency from QtLocation
 - [QTBUG-56213] Adapted map related mouse/touch behavior following
   changes to general mouse/touch handling in Qt QML
 - Adapted QtLocation and QtPositioning to the Qt Lite related build system changes
 - Marked QGeoMapPrivate as private export
 - Added support for unitary tile caching. This enables use cases whereby the cache
   size can be defined in number of tiles rather then bytes.

Android

 - [QTBUG-55988] Added capability to ask for Location permissions at runtime. This is
   required since Android 7.0.

WinRT

 - Fixed a name space related compile problem in the positioning plugin for WinRT
 - Migrated the QtLocation rendering code to the new scenegraph changes enabling
   Direct3D 12
 - [QTBUG-54474] Added GeolocationAccessStatus existence check
 - [QTBUG-56340] Added direction information to position updates
 - [QTBUG-56623] Changed positioning plugin to use the platforms positioning time
   stamp rather than a programmatically acquired time stamp at the time of the callback.
   Effectively, this forwards time stamps from the GPS satellite to the user application.
 - [QTBUG-53925] Enabled WinRT positioning backend for MSVC2013/2015
