+# General
+
+* New codesign module was added to implement code signing for Apple, Android and Windows
+  platforms (QBS-899, QBS-1546).
+* It is now possible to build Qbs with Qt 6.
+* Project files update API depending on the Qt.gui module was removed. This allows to enable
+  project files update API unconditionally when building Qbs.

+  artifacts when multiplexing.

+
+* Qbs now supports multiple MSVC compiler versions installed in one Visual Studio installation

+  new cpp.windowsSdkVersion property.
+* baremetal: Fix generation of compiler listing files with custom extension for the SDCC compiler.

+* baremetal: Fix detection for Keil toolchains.
+* baremetal: Add support for HCS08 architectures to SDCC and IAR toolchains (QBS-1631, QBS-1629).
+* baremetal: Add support for HCS12 architectures to GCC and IAR toolchains (QBS-1630, QBS-1550).
+
+# Qt Support
+
+* Fix possible command line length issue with qmlimportscanner (QBS-1633).

+* Fix aapt command invocation on Windows.
+* Added support for ndk 22.1.7171670.
+
+# Documentation
+
+* Added How-To about codesigning on Apple platforms.
+* Cocoa Touch Application example is brought up-to date to use modern Apple practices.
+* Added example how to use the cpp.linkerVariant property.
+* Added missing documentation for the cpp.toolchainInstallPath property.
+* Added missing documentation for the supported 'bare-metal' architectures.
+
+# Important Bug Fixes
+
+* Added support for Xcode 12.5 (QBS-1644).
+* Fix support for Python 3.9 for building Apple DMG images (QBS-1642).
+
