For more details, refer to the online documentation included in this
distribution. The documentation is also available online:

****************************************************************************
* Library *
****************************************************************************
QtBluetooth
-----------
- Fixed several compiler warnings through the code base adopting new compilers
such as GCC 7.
- Added better documentation of GPL license usage via sdpscanner on BLueZ.
The GPL license usage is limited to separate process and does not taint
QtBluetooth users.
- Added limitation to do classic device discovery only inside
QBLuetoothServiceDiscoveryAgent. Prior to this change
QBLuetoothServiceDiscoveryAgent always performed a search for Low Energy
devices too. This is not necessary and reduces the time for SDP
discoveries.
****************************************************************************
* Platform Specific Changes *
****************************************************************************
Android
-------
- [QTBUG-61392] Added workaround for swapped uuids obtained when doing SDP
discovery on Android 6.0.1 or later systems.
- Removed workaround for QBluetoothSocket that uses the private
BluetoothDevice.getServiceChannel() API from Android 6.0+ platforms.
The private API was removed in Android 6.0.
- [QTBUG-61321] Added code handler to catch BluetoothGatt.GATT_FAILURE.
- Fixed an issue where a QBLuetoothServiceDiscoveryAgent run would fail
to find any service because the last device for which the service discovery
was done failed.
Linux/Bluez
-----------
- [QTBUG-58941] Fixed failure to re-advertise peripheral after
QLowEnergyController disconnect and restart.
- [QTBUG-55150] Fixed handling of concurrent BTLE connections via QtBluetooth
and for example BlueZ tools like bluetoothctl. There can only be one connection
at a given time. Under the new behavior the current process closes every
BTLE connection not managed by itself.
- Fixed buffer overrun when handling GATT Blob read requests.
- [QTBUG-46776] Added code to detect whether a found Bluetooth address is random
or public. The standard BlueZ DBus interface does not expose this flag.
This requires CAP_NET_ADMIN permissions though.
