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 * +**************************************************************************** + +QtLocation +----------- + + - Added boundingGeoRectangle to QGeoShape to return a geographical bounding + box in form of a QGeoRectangle. + - Added QGeoPath as a new geo shape. + - Added a new QML type, MapParameter, to control plugin-specific map features + at runtime. + - Deprecated QGeoShape::extendShape. + - Renamed the QGeoProjection class into QWebMercator. + - Added new private API, QGeoProjection, for the coordinate <-> screen projection + conversion, removing it from QGeoTiledMapScene. + - Moved CacheAreas enum from QGeoFileTileCache into QAbstractGeoTileCache. + - Map.zoomLevel now always refers to a normalized tile size of 256x256 pixels. + Conversions to/from different tile sizes are performed internally by QGeoMap. + - Added clipping support to Clip2Tri 3rd party library through clipper, to protect Qt from + clipper invocations that throw. + - Updated clipper lib to version 6.4. + - QGeoProjectionWebMercator now uses a projection matrix to project to item position. + - [QTBUG-58124] Fixed a bug on destruction of the OSM plugin causing segfault. + - Added rotation, tilt and field of view properties to QDeclarativeGeoMap. + - Changed map items to be always positioned/wrapped based on their geo left bound. + - Changed the Map items opacity ramp values from 2.0 -> 3.0 to 1.5 -> 2.5. + - QDeclarativeGeoMap::setVisibleRegion now handles QGeoPath as well. + - Map Items geo data is now managed by a contained QGeoShape, which also handles geographical + transformations such as translations. + - Moved the declarative implementation from imports/ into location/declarativemaps and + location/declarativeplaces, privately exporting the classes. + - QQuickGeoMapGestureArea now correctly works with tilted/rotated maps. + - Added two new gestures to QQuickGeoMapGestureArea, two fingers rotation and two fingers tilting. + - Added the infrastructure to allow a QGeoMap to be responsible for drawing map items. + - Added a new QML type, MapCopyrightNotice, backed by the now exposed QDeclarativeGeoMapCopyrightNotice. + - MapCopyrightNotice can now be styled using CSS. + - Added a new plugin, MapboxGL, based on the mapbox-gl-native 3rd party library. + - The MapboxGL plugin now ships with a built-in development token. + - Added a new QML type, MapItemGroup, to group multiple map items in a new meta map item. + - Added the new mapItemOpacity method to QGeoMapItemBase, to account for the opacity of a MapItemGroup too. + - Added the new fitViewportToVisibleMapItems method to QDeclarativeGeoMap. + - Adapted mapviewer example to enable changing tilting/rotation/FoV. + - QGeoTiledMap now uses anisotropic filtering when available. + - Unblacklisted some previously blacklisted autotests now fixed in qtdeclarative. + - Blacklisted flick autotests on windows due to platform-induced flakiness. + - Added support to the MapboxGL plugin to natively renders map polylines, polygons and rectangles. + - Added support to the MapboxGL plugin to render both via FBO and via QSGRenderNode. + - QGeoCameraCapabilities are now specific to a QGeoMapType, and not any longer fixed to a plugin. + - DevicePixelRatio is now considered before enabling mipmapping so that mipmapping remains off if + tiles do not need to be minificated. + - Changed QGeoTiledMap default FoV from 90 to 45 degrees. + - [QTBUG-59417] Fixed QGeoTiledMapScene viewing frustum calculation. + - Added a new mapReady signal to QDeclarativeGeoMap to notify when the map becomes ready. + - Added ICU support to MapboxGL plugin, depending on its availability. + - [QTBUG-58821] Removed dependency on QtWidgets. + - Added a new plugin, itemsoverlay, to provide a transparent canvas to add only map items. + - MapQuickItem now correctly tilts and rotates when the zoomLevel property is set. + - [QTBUG-59259] Increased QGeoCoordinate debug operator precision. + - Improved the mapviewer example, also using QtQuick.Controls2 sliders. + - QtPositioning now also compiler-optimized when building in release. + - [QTBUG-59503] Flick autotests skipped on windows. + - [QTBUG-59479] Mercator-projected qgeocoordinates in map items are now cached. + - Removed pathPropertyChanged() from Polyline,Polygon. + - [QTBUG-23659] Enabled overzooming tiles in qgeotiledmapscene. + - [QTBUG-59416] keepTouchGrab now considered when handing mouse events in QDeclarativeGeoMap. + - Tile formats now proactively converted to ARGB32_Premultiplied. + - Added possibility to disable prefetching. + - Added parameter to control prefetching in tile-based geoservice plugins. + - Disabled warnings in third-party code. + - Improved flicking behavior of QQuickGeoMapGestureArea. + - [QTBUG-60021] Map update now triggered after initialization. + - QGeoMap pointers now protected with QPointer. + - QtLocation now marked as warning-free. + - [QTBUG-58801] Fixed copyright notice not showing before map type is changed. + - Added overzoomEnabled to QGeoCameraCapabilities. + - Various fixes for building with various QtLite configurations. + - QGeoTileFetcher::handleReply now virtual. + - [QTBUG-60266] declarative_ui autotests disabled for boot2qt. + + +**************************************************************************** +* Platform Specific Changes * +**************************************************************************** + +iOS +--- + + - [QTBUG-52014][QTBUG-59275] Allow background updates if such capability + is present in infoDict. + + +WinRT +----- + + - [QTBUG-57288] Remove support for WinRT 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1. + - [QTBUG-60299] Added error handling for GeoPositionInfoSource creation. + + +Android +------- + + -
