| Qt 5.3 introduces many new features and improvements as well as bugfixes |
| over the 5.2.x series. For more details, refer to the online documentation |
| included in this distribution. The documentation is also available online: |
| |
| http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.3 |
| |
| The Qt version 5.3 series is binary compatible with the 5.2.x series. |
| Applications compiled for 5.2 will continue to run with 5.3. |

| |
| QtBluetooth |
| ----------- |
| |
| - Documentation: |
| * The documentation for the Bluetooth discovery classes has been |
| improved. |
| * QBluetoothSocket's local name, port and address property documentation |
| improved. |
| * Documentation of all examples improved. |
| |
| - General: |
| * Added a new Object-Push example. |
| * QML scanner example was optimized for high DPI displays and |
| error handling was improved. This ensures a better user interface |
| for Android and BlackBerry devices. |
| * Replaced tennis example against new QML based PingPong example. |
| * Test application added. This application enables easier testing |
| and debugging of the various API features. |
| |
| - BluetoothDiscoveryModel (QML): |
| * Improved error handling of device discovery process. |
| * Fixed incorrect behavior when changing from device to service discovery |
| and vice versa. |
| |
| - QBluetoothDeviceDiscoveryAgent: |
| * Added checks and error enum value to avoid incorrect handling of |
| non-existing local Bluetooth adapter addresses. |
| |
| - QBluetoothHostInfo: |
| * Copy operator added. |
| |
| - QBluetoothLocalDevice: |
| * Added a new API elements to retrieve connected Bluetooth devices |
| and to receive notifications about connection changes. |
| |
| - QBluetoothServiceDiscoveryAgent: |
| * Fixed the fallback backend's initial state and error values. |
| * Duplicated code was removed. |
| * QBluetoothServiceDiscoveryAgent::clear() was improved to avoid |
| unpredictable class behavior. |
| |
| - QBluetoothServer: |
| * Checks added to avoid calls to listen() while the server socket is |
| already listening for incoming sockets. |
| * Fixed inconsistent state() of server object after failed service |
| registration attempt during listen() call. |
| * Fixed incorrect parameter type of error() signal. This fixed issues |
| whereby QObject::connect() could not find the signal. |
| * Added custom uuid to serial port service SDP data set. This enables |
| the discovery of such profiles on Android devices. |
| |
| - QBluetoothServiceInfo: |
| * Fixed broken implementation of serviceClassUuids(). |
| |
| - QBluetoothSocket: |
| * Fixed a crash in Bluez part of QBluetoothSocket() which was caused |
| triggered when calling the sequence connect() - abort() - connect(). |
| * Fixed missing initialization of the internal socket error state |
| variable. This caused incorrect QBluetoothSocket::error() right after |
| class instantiation. |
| * Synchronized handling of errors across all supported platforms. |
| |
| - QBluetoothUuid: |
| * Fixed wrong value of PnpInformation enum value. |
| * Added newly defined ServiceClassUuid's defined Bluetooth forum. |
| |
| |
| QtNfc |
| ----- |
| |
| - Documentation: |
| * Added missing documentation to QQmlNdefRecord. |
| * General documentation fixes add. |
| |
| - General: |
| * Added a new corkboard example displaying the content of NDEF text |
| records. |
| * A new NFC share API was added. The API provides sharing of NDEF |
| messages and arbitrary files via NFC and may potentially use other |
| communication protocols such as wifi or Bluetooth as part of its |
| implementation. |

| * Platform Specific Changes * |
| **************************************************************************** |
| |
| Android |
| ------- |
| |
| - [QTBUG-33792] QtBluetooth has been ported to Android. |
| |
| BlackBerry 10: |
| -------------- |
| |
| - [QTBUG-36626] Fixed a memory leak in QBluetoothServer::listen(). |
| - Fixed incomplete implementation of QBluetoothServer::close(). |
| - Fixed wrong pairingStatus() returned by QBluetoothLocalDevice. |
| - Fixed accidental loss of remote device information in QBluetoothServer. |
| - Added incomplete implementation of QBluetooth::setMaxPendingConnections(). |
| - Fixed always failing call to QBluetoothServerInfo::unregisterService(). |
| - Fixed missing emission of ConnectedState by QBluetoothSocket. |
| - Fixed implementation of QBluetoothTransferManager::put() when using |
| together with a QFile. |
| |
| Bluez/Linux |
| ----------- |
| |
| - The handling of powered-off local Bluetooth adapters was improved. |
| - Fixed memory leaks in service and device discovery classes. |
| - Removed dead code from SDP discovery implementation. |
| - Fixed crash during service discovery. |
| - Fixed incorrect invocation of QBluetoothDiscoveryAgent where the |
| remote service address was incorrectly assumed to be the local Bt |
| adapter address. This prevented the detection of the remote service. |
| - Removed caching of QBluetoothSocket::localName() and peerName() values. Under |
| certain circumstances those functions returned wrong values. |
| - Fixed missing update of internal QBluetoothSocket::state during SDP discovery. |
| - Removed assertion during service discovery due to unknown SDP attribute. |
| - Prevented calls to QBluetoothSocket::connectToService() while the socket |
| is already in the ServiceLoockupState. |
| - Fixed failing call to QBluetoothServer::listen(QBluetoothAddress) if the passed |
| address was null. |
