| |
| QtSerialBus was a technology preview in 5.6 and 5.7. With 5.8, the |
| module leaves technology preview status and the API is fixed. |
| The most important changes done in 5.8 are listed below. |
| QtSerialBus is now binary compatible with following versions (5.9 etc.) |
| |
| Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers |
| corresponding to tasks in the Qt Bug Tracker: |

| QtSerialBus |
| ----------- |
| |
| - QCanBus |
| * [QTBUG-53642] Changed the signature of createDevice() to use only |
| QString parameters. Furthermore, plugins() now returns a QStringList. |
| * [QTBUG-53642] Changed createDevice() to return an optional textual |
| error description. |
| |
| - QCanBusDevice |
| * [QTBUG-52495] Added waitForFramesWritten() and waitForFramesReceived() |
| to QCanBusDevice. |
| |
| - QCanBusFrame: |
| * [QTBUG-53171] Added toString() to QCanBusFrame. |
| * [QTBUG-49675][QTBUG-56720] Added CAN FD flag to distinguish CAN FD |
| frames from CAN 2.0 frames. In addition hasFlexibleDataRateFormat() |
| and setFlexibleDataRateFormat() function were added. It permits easier |
| identification of CAN FD frames. |
| * Changed the signature of two constructors. |
| * [QTBUG-51845] Cleaned up the usage of inline and nothrow throughout the class. |
| * Improved validity checking for frame ids larger than 2^29. |
| |
| - QCanBusFrame::TimeStamp: |
| * Added TimeStamp::fromMicroSeconds() time stamps with normalized |
| microseconds and added the overflow to seconds. |
| * Removed the setSeconds() and setMicroSeconds() functions to avoid |
| confusion about unnormalized time stamps. |
| |
| - Added basic support for Vector CAN devices. |
| - Improved the implementation of the PeakCAN and TinyCAN plugins. |
| - Improved and fixed the CAN examples. In particular the examples were adjusted to |
| the various API changes. |
| - Improved the module and class documentation substantially. |
| - Unified the interface names of the different plugins to follow a common rule: |
| The prefixes were unified, the numbering always starts with zero now. |
| - [QTBUG-55747] Fixed C+11 related code sections which failed to compile on OSX 10.11.6. |
| - Ported canbusutil tool to use QCommandLineParser and multiple other changes to |
| improve the tools internal implementation such as a more streamlined printing to stdout. |
| - [QTBUG-56331] Fixed module build on Android. The canbusutil tool was removed from |
| Android builds. |
| - [QTBUG-56886] Fixed handling of frameReceived() signals throughout all CAN examples. |
| - Converted the module to use the Qt Lite based configure changes in Qt. |
| - [QTBUG-54834] Fixed handling of packets with payloads longer than 127 |
| bytes by QModbusResponse. |
| - Added missing QDataStream operator<< for QModbus{Request,Response}. |
