| - [QTBUG-31565] Make the deployment of Qt Quick Controls applications easier |
| The QtQuickControls plugin now embeds its qml files and the Styles and |
| Private submodules files using the resource system. While the qml and |
| js files are still available for development convenience (for Controls, |
| Controls.Styles and Controls.Private), only the qtquickcontrols plugin and |
| the qmldir file are needed while deploying the QtQuick.Controls module and |
| its submodules. |
