| **************************************************************************** |
| * Important Behavior Changes * |
| **************************************************************************** |
| |
| - [QTBUG-58060] DialogButtonBox with Material style now uses the Android |
| button layout. |
| |
| **************************************************************************** |
| * Controls * |
| **************************************************************************** |
| |
| - AbstractButton: |
| * [QTBUG-49820] Added support for icons. The following properties are |
| now available for derived types to use: icon.name, icon.source, |
| icon.width, icon.height, icon.color. |
| * [QTBUG-49820] Added display property to allow control over how icons |
| and text are displayed within buttons, without having to implement |
| custom delegates. |
| * [QTBUG-50705] Added AbstractButton::action property. |
| |
| - Action: |
| * [QTBUG-50705] Introduced Action, an abstract user interface action |
| that can have shortcuts and be assigned to buttons. |
| |
| - ActionGroup: |
| * [QTBUG-50705] Introduced ActionGroup, a non-visual group of actions |
| that is mutually exclusive by default. |
| |
| - ApplicationWindow: |
| * [QTBUG-61336] The attached activeFocusControl property has been made |
| functional with a plain QML Window to make the functionality available |
| when using QQuickWindow/View/Widget instead of ApplicationWindow. |
| * [QTBUG-61336] Deprecated the overlay grouped property in favor of the |
| newly introduced Overlay attached properties. |
| |
| - ButtonGroup: |
| * Added exclusive property to allow creating non-exclusive button |
| groups. |
| |
| - Container: |
| * Deprecated removeItem(int) in favor of removeItem(Item) and |
| takeItem(int) with clearer semantics. The former destroys the item, |
| whereas the latter transfers ownership to the caller. |
| |
| - Dialog: |
| * Added "result" property that holds whether the dialog was previously |
| accepted or rejected. |
| * Added a standardButton() method for accessing the standard buttons in |
| the dialog's button box. |
| * [QTBUG-59423] Added missing applied(), discarded(), helpRequested(), |
| and reset() signals that are emitted when the respective standard |
| buttons are clicked. |
| |
| - DialogButtonBox: |
| * [QTBUG-59423] Added missing applied(), reset(), and discarded() |
| signals. |
| |
| - Menu: |
| * [QTBUG-50471] Added a popup() method that opens a menu at the mouse |
| cursor on desktop platforms that have a mouse cursor available, and |
| otherwise centers the menu over its parent item. |
| * Added support for declaring Actions. The new "delegate" property is |
| used to define a Component that is used to create menu items that |
| present the actions. |
| * Deprecated removeItem(int) in favor of removeItem(Item) and |
| takeItem(int) with clearer semantics. The former destroys the item, |
| whereas the latter transfers ownership to the caller. |
| * [QTBUG-60351] Added support for cascading sub-menus. |
| * Added addMenu(), insertMenu(), removeMenu(), and takeMenu() methods |
| for adding and removing sub-menus programmatically. |
| * Added addAction(), insertAction(), removeAction(), and takeAction() |
| methods for adding and removing actions programmatically. |
| * Added currentIndex property for styling purposes. |
| * Added actionAt() and menuAt() accessors. |
| * Added a dismiss() method. Unlike close() that only closes a menu and |
| its sub-menus, dismiss() closes the whole hierarchy of menus, |
| including the parent menus. |
| * Added "count" property. |
| |
| - MenuBar: |
| * [QTBUG-60350] Introduced a MenuBar control. |
| |
| - MenuItem: |
| * Added a "menu" property that provides access to the menu that contains |
| the menu item. |
| * Menu has been fixed to highlight its items while key navigating and |
| mouse hovering to ensure seamless item highlight between mouse hover |
| and key navigation. In order to provide appropriate highlighting that |
| works for key navigation and mouse hover, styles should bind their |
| visual highlight to MenuItem::highlighted instead of |
| Control::activeFocus or Control::hovered. |
| |
| - Overlay: |
| * [QTBUG-61336] Introduced Overlay attached properties and signals that |
| supersede the overlay grouped property in Application Window. The |
| Overlay attached type allows providing background dimming for popups |
| without requiring an ApplicationWindow instance. |
| |
| - Popup: |
| * Added an "opened" boolean property that holds whether a popup is fully |
| open. That is, the popup is visible and neither the enter nor exit |
| transitions are running. |
| * Added "enabled" property. |
| * Added a read-only "mirrored" property that is true when the popup's |
| locale is right-to-left. |
| |
| - RangeSlider: |
| * Added horizontal and vertical properties to make it more convenient to |
| create orientation-dependent bindings in styles. |
| |
| - ScrollBar: |
| * Added horizontal and vertical properties to make it more convenient to |
| create orientation-dependent bindings in styles. |
| |
| - ScrollIndicator: |
| * Added horizontal and vertical properties to make it more convenient to |
| create orientation-dependent bindings in styles. |
| |
| - Slider: |
| * Added horizontal and vertical properties to make it more convenient to |
| create orientation-dependent bindings in styles. |
| |
| - SpinBox: |
| * [QTBUG-58760] Added wrap-property to allow wrapping circular |
| spinboxes. |
| |
| - StackView: |
| * Allowed specifying a transition when clearing the stack view. |
| |
| - SwipeView: |
| * Added horizontal and vertical properties to make it more convenient to |
| create orientation-dependent bindings in styles. |
| |
| - TabBar: |
| * Added index/tabBar/position attached properties. |
| |
| **************************************************************************** |
| * Styles * |
| **************************************************************************** |
| |
| - Introduced a Fusion style that offers a platform agnostic |
| desktop-oriented look'n'feel. |
| - Added the Imagine style, which is based on image assets that can be |
| provided using a predefined naming convention. |
| - Added support for specifying the default font for different styles in |
| qtquickcontrols2.conf. |
| - Fixed the style selection mechanism so that now it is possible to |
| organize platform and locale-specific files into sub-directories, such |
| as "+linux", "+macos", and "+windows". |
