+
+ - The experimental Direct3D paint engine has been removed. The
+ reasons for this is that Qt Software focuses on OpenGL for desktop
+ hardware accelerated rendering.
+
+ - When mixing OpenGL and QPainter calls you need to first call syncState()
+ on the paint engine, for example "painter->paintEngine()->syncState()".
+ This is to ensure that the engine flushes any pending drawing and sets up
+ the GL modelview/projection matrices properly.
+
+ - Graphics View has undergone heavy optimization work, and as a result of
+ this work, the following behavior changes were introduced.
+
+ a) QStyleOptionGraphicsItem::exposedRect now contains the item's bounding
+ rectangle, and QStyleOptionGraphicsItem::matrix is uninitialized by
+ default. You can enable an exact exposed rectangle and a correct matrix
+ by enabling the flag QGraphicsItem::ItemUsesExtendedStyleOptions.
+
+ b) QStyleOptionGraphicsItem::levelOfDetails is obsoleted and its value is
+ always initialized to 1. Instead you can call
+ QStyleOptionGraphicsItem::levelOfDetailFromTransform(const QTransform &)
+ to determine the level of detail.
+
+ c) QGraphicsView no longer calls QGraphicsView::drawItems(), and in turn
+ QGraphicsScene::drawItems(), by default. You can get the old behavior
+ back by enabling QGraphicsView::IndirectPainting.
+
+ d) QGraphicsItem no longer calls itemChange() for position and
+ transformation changes. If you want to receive notifications for changes
+ to the item's position and transformation, you can set the flag
+ QGraphicsItem::ItemSendsGeometryChanges (which is enabled by default by
+ QGraphicsWidget and QGraphicsProxyWidget).
