It maintains both forward and backward +compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 5.9.0. + +For more details, refer to the online documentation included in this +distribution. The documentation is also available online: + +http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/index.html + +The Qt version 5.9 series is binary compatible with the 5.8.x series. +Applications compiled for 5.8 will continue to run with 5.9. + +Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers +corresponding to tasks in the Qt Bug Tracker: + +https://bugreports.qt.io/ + +Each of these identifiers can be entered in the bug tracker to obtain more +information about a particular change. + +**************************************************************************** +* 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.
