+ \page whatsnew511.html
+ \title What's New in Qt 5.11
+ \brief Lists the new features in Qt 5.11.
+
+ \section1 New Features in Qt 5.11
+
+ \section2 Qt Core Module
+ \list
+ \li Added \l{QIODevice::NewOnly} and \l {QIODevice::ExistingOnly}
+ \c OpenMode flags. When used with QFile, \c NewOnly instructs
+ \c open() to (atomically) return \c false if the file to open
+ exists. \c ExistingOnly instructs \c open() to (atomically) return
+ \c false if the file does not exist.
+ \li QFloat16 now has two methods for bulk conversion between \c float16
+ and \c float, using hardware SIMD acceleration if available at
+ runtime.
+ \li QVarLengthArray now has rvalue reference versions of prepend and
+ insert, and can hold movable-only datatypes such as
+ \c std::unique_ptr.
+ \li QVector now has rvalue reference versions of prepend and insert.
+ \li QUuid \c toString() and \c toByteArray() now take a parameter
+ specifying the generated format.
+ \li Updated Unicode support in QString, QChar, and
+ QTextBoundaryFinder to be compatible with Unicode 10.
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Qt Network Module
+ \list
+ \li ALPN (via Secure Transport) and thus HTTP/2 negotiation are now
+ supported on iOS (starting from version 11).
+ \li QNetworkRequest now has the \c Http2DirectAttribute to start a
+ connection in HTTP/2 without first negotiating.
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Qt QML Module
+ \list
+ \li The compiler pipeline is rewritten. We now directly generate byte code
+ from the AST, and store that as our intermediate representation.
+ \li Optimized handling of JS calls, bringing large improvements
+ especially when calling small functions.
+ \li Newly written byte code interpreter brings significant performance
+ improvements, at 80-90% of the JIT in Qt 5.10.
+ \li \c .qmlc files are now fully platform-independent and store byte
+ code instead of assembly.
+ \li New hotspot JIT that generates optimized assembly for byte code that
+ gets repeatedly executed.
+ \li \c {CONFIG += qmlcompiler} now also works in the open source version, by
+ embedding the generated byte code at compile time.
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Qt Quick Module
+ \list
+ \li Expanded support for loading compressed textures in Image element.
+ Now supports both \c .ktx and \c .pkm container file formats.
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Qt Quick Controls 2 Module
+ \list
+ \li AbstractButton
+ \list
+ \li Promoted the \l {AbstractButton::}{autoRepeat}
+ property from \l [QML] Button to \c AbstractButton.
+ \li Added \l {AbstractButton::}{autoRepeatDelay} and
+ \l {AbstractButton::}{autoRepeatInterval}
+ properties.
+ \li Added \c pressX and \c pressY properties to expose the press
+ point to QML.
+ \endlist
+
+ \li ButtonGroup
+ \list
+ \li Added a \c checkState property. It indicates the combined check
+ state of the entire group.
+ \endlist
+
+ \li CheckBox and CheckDelegate
+ \list
+ \li No longer force tristate to \c true when setting \c checkState
+ to \c Qt.PartiallyChecked. This allows presenting a partially
+ checked state without being interactively tri-state.
+ \li No longer consider partially checked as checked. This fixes
+ check state cycling for a non-tri-state checkbox so that it goes
+ from partially checked to fully checked state.
+ \li Made it possible to implement \c nextCheckState() in QML.
+ \endlist
+
+ \li ScrollBar and ScrollIndicator
+ \list
+ \li Added \c minimumSize, \c visualSize, and \c visualPosition
+ properties.
+ \endlist
+
+ \li SpinBox
+ \list
+ \li Added a \c displayText property to allow styles to create a
+ light binding to display the textual value instead of having
+ to call the \c textFromValue() JS-function.
+ \endlist
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Qt 3D Module
+ \list
+ \li Scrub through animations with the \c normalizedTime property of
+ QAbstractClipAnimator.
+ \li Issue arbitrary ray casts in world space or screen space.
+ \li Improved SIMD support.
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Qt Location Module
+ \list
+ \li New Qt.labs.location plugin containing experimental QML types.
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Qt WebEngine Module
+ \list
+ \li Updated to Chromium 65.
+ \li Embedded DevTools without using a port and separate browser.
+ \li Installable cookie filter.
+ \li Quota permissions.
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 QDoc Documentation Generator
+ \list
+ \li QDoc now uses libclang for parsing C/C++ code.
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Qt Designer Tool
+ \list
+ \li Added support for ID-based translations.
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Qt GUI Module
+ \list
+ \li On Windows Desktop, the accessibility support was updated and
+ vastly improved. The implementation is now based on Microsoft UI
+ Automation (it was formerly based on Microsoft Active Accessibility).
+ \li Linux Printing now supports more CUPS options with the advanced tab
+ in QPrintPropertiesDialog, allowing many additional settings
+ (amongst them arbitrary page ranges).
+ \li Updated the Unicode bidirectional text algorithm to be compliant
+ with Unicode 10.
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Qt Widgets Module
+ \list
+ \li Added J2534 Pass-Thru CAN plugin for communication between a
+ computer and a vehicle.
+ \li Added description, serial number and channel to QCanBusDeviceInfo,
+ as far as supported by the various plugins.
+ \li Introduced categorized logging to the CAN bus module which can be
+ enabled by the \e "qt.canbus" and
+ \e "qt.canbus.plugins.<pluginname>" filters.
+ \li QCanBusFrame::isValid() now checks for invalid CAN FD payload
+ lengths. E.g. 24 is a valid CAN FD payload length, but 28 is not.
+ \endlist
+
+ \section2 Qt Bluetooth Module
+ \list
+ \li Ported Bluetooth Low Energy Central role implementation to BlueZ's
+ DBus LE API (minimum version to enable is BlueZ 5.42).
+ \endlist
+
+ \section1 New Modules
+ No new modules were added in this version.
+
+ \section1 Platform Changes
+ \list
+ \li MSVC2013 support removed from the code base.
+ \li QNX 6.6 no longer supported (note: QNX 7 remains fully supported).
+ \li macOS 10.10 no longer supported.
+ \li Improved Accessibility support on Win32 by adopting the Windows UI
+ Automation framework.
+ \li XCB: Support for missing 'dead keys' such as dasia and diaeresis.
+
+ \li eglfs
+ \list
+ \li Added support for framebuffer formats other than XRGB8888
+ (RGB565, ARGB8888).
+ \li Added experimental screen cloning support (by scanning out the
+ same framebuffer on multiple displays).
+ \li Added support for operating with DRM render nodes
+ (/dev/dri/renderDnn) in a headless mode transparent to
+ applications.
+ \li Added a makespec for Renesas R-Car M3.
+ \li Added experimental backend for compositing Qt content with other
+ hardware layers via VSP2 on Renesas devices.
+ \endlist
+ \endlist
+
+ \section1 Technology Preview Modules
+ \list
+ \li Qt Remote Objects (TP3) - A module that allows you to easily share
+ QObject interfaces (Signals/Slots/Properties) between processes or
+ devices.
+ \li Qt WebGL Streaming Plugin (TP2) - Stream applications to browsers
+ over the network.
+ \endlist
+
+ \section1 Deprecated Modules
+ The following modules are part of the Qt 5.11 release, but are deprecated
+ and considered for removal in subsequent releases of Qt:
+
+ \list
+ \li Qt Script
+ \li Qt Quick Controls 1
+ \endlist
