For more details, refer to the online +documentation included in this distribution. The documentation is also available +online: + + http://qt-project.org/doc/ + +The QtSerialPort version 5.3 series is binary compatible with the 5.2.x series. +Applications compiled for 5.2 will continue to run with 5.3. + +Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers +corresponding to tasks in the Qt Bug Tracker: + + http://bugreports.qt-project.org/ + +Each of these identifiers can be entered in the bug tracker to obtain more +information about a particular change. + +**************************************************************************** +* Library * +**************************************************************************** + + - Build for WinRT is disabled, since the MSDN Windows Store apps will not have + any serial port replacement. + - Improved the documentation. + - Added error handling to some missing functions. + - Removed some unused code related to the SystemIn/OutputQueue size + methods. + - Now the TxD/RxD signals are obsolete, since there is no reliable low-level + API of obtaining the status of these signals. + - Now the signal bytesWritten() is emitted only after completion of a write + operation (when a payload of data was transferred from the driver's queue and + the driver's queue became empty). + - [QTBUG-36865] Remove the continuous warning about the unknown flow control. + - [QTBUG-35781] Use private linkage where appropriate. + - Swap the open and configure error reporting in the terminal example. + - Obsolete the "settings restore on close" API. + - [QTBUG-37989] Keep qmake's "-framework" option on OSX to fix building. + - Fixed display of the serial number in the terminal example. + - Mark the settingsRestoredOnClose property deprecated since 5.3 instead + of 5.2. + - Ensure both input and output baud rates are set. + + - QSerialPortInfo: + * [QTBUG-32774] Added the enumerating of virtual serial ports that are created + from the "AGG Software" utility on Windows. + * [QTBUG-36526] Added an additional enumeration through the SERIALCOMM + registry for serial ports which are not present in Windows Device Manager. + * [QTBUG-36870] Used Q_GLOBAL_STATIC for the udev symbol loading QLibrary + instance. + * [QTBUG-31981] Added API for querying the serial number of USB serial ports. + * [QTBUG-36296] Fixed info update for FTDI devices on Android by using Sysfs. + * [QTBUG-37578] Used QScopedPointer (RAII) to avoid memory leaks with udev. + + - QSerialPort: + * Added handling of the ERROR_INVALID_NAME error code on Windows; now this + error is interpreted as DeviceNotFoundError. + * Optimized writing sequence algorithm on Windows; now there are no excess + calls of WriteFile when the writeBuffer is empty. + * [QTBUG-36490] Fixed changing the state of the DTR signal when modifying + DCB properties; now the DTR signal stays in the same state. + * [QTBUG-33987] Fixed the waitForReadyRead() behavior on Windows. + * cfmakeraw is no longer used on SunO since it doesn't exist on Solaris and + Illumos. + * qt_safe_open() is now used instead of open() on Unix since open() is not + thread-safe, that can lead to leaking of file descriptors. + * [QTBUG-36824] Protected against EINTR in Unix non-atomic I/O calls with use + of qt_safe_xxx functions. + * [QTBUG-33774] Now there is the possibility to set up the port settings + before opening. + * Improved the reading and writing algorithm on Windows. + * Define CRTSCTS on QNX. Tested on SVTronics UEVM5432 Omap5 board with + QNX 6.6. + * [QTBUG-38339] Fixed the flush() regression on Unix. + * [QTBUG-38961] Fixed regression on Linux when trying to set a custom baud + rate. |
