Qt 4.5.2-tower --------------- The Qt for S60 "Tower" release is the fifth pre-release from the Qt for S60 porting project. "Tower" is based on the Qt 4.5 codebase. Up to and including SHA: not yet started :D Lists just S60 fixes, for general 4.5.0 changes go to: http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/changes/changes-4.5.0 Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers corresponding to tasks in the Task Tracker: http://qtsoftware.com/developer/task-tracker Each of these identifiers can be entered in the task tracker to obtain more information about a particular change. Sometimes the task is internal and cannot be viewed by the public, a lot of them are non-public for Qt for S60 at the moment. **************************************************************************** * New features * **************************************************************************** New modules ----------- - QtSql * Implemented QtSql module with sqlite3 backend. For now backend is provided only in binary format. - QtWebkit * Experimental webkit build for s60. Can be enabled by passing -webkit to configure. - Phonon * The Phonon library is now part of Qt, but it comes without a backend. This means that applications can build and run against the Phonon library, but there is currently no S60 backend plugin providing actual multimedia playback. Possible alternatives such as Helix and MMF are being investigated. New classes ------------ - todo * todo Ported classes -------------- - QSound * Implemented CMdaAudioPlayerUtility based Symbian backend for QSound. - QLocalSocket and QLocalServer * Added support for QLocalSocket and QLocalServer on Symbian Features -------- - QApplication * Implemented QApplication::beep() for Symbian - QSslSocket * Added support for -openssl option i.e. runtime resolving of OpenSSL symbols - todo * todo Optimizations ------------- - qdrawhelper * Optimized drawing operations for RVCT builds, particulary for ARMV6. - qwidget_s60.cpp * Avoid unnecessary calls to FocusChanged in Symbian **************************************************************************** * Code clean-up * **************************************************************************** - Cleanup qeventdispatcher_unix.cpp * 247268: All qeventdispatcher_unix.cpp changes were reverted since, this file is not anymore used in Symbian OS branch. - Cleanup QtNetwork workarounds implemented earlier due to Open C bugs. * 247287: Removed getaddrinfo workaround * 247288: Removed waitForConnected workaround * 247289: Removed qt_socket_accept workaround * 247290: Removed qt_socket_connect workaround * 247290: Removed E32IONREAD workaround * 247293: Removed nativeHasPendingDatagrams workaround * 247295: Removed QNativeSocketEnginePrivate::nativeRead EPIPE workaround - Other code clean-ups * 247278: Removed unnecessary includes from qbackingstore.cpp. * Fixed Q_OS_SYMBIAN ifdef usage in qfiledialog_p.h * 247272: Removed qtestnetworkservers.h dependency, used network-settings.h * Revert "Work around compiler bug on Nokia Metrowerks compiler." * Remove UI highlights being inverted colors based on highlight text colors. **************************************************************************** * Build issues * **************************************************************************** - QTest * Fixed testlib export macros for RVCT builds. - namespaces * Now builds when -qtnamespace option is defined **************************************************************************** * Changes to existing classes * **************************************************************************** - QDesktopServices * Fixed forwardslash/backslash usage as an path separator - QPluginLoader * QPluginLoader will look for plugin stubs from the same folder on other drives if it can't find them from the indicated drive. - QEventDispatcher * Lowered the timeout for reprioritizing the process to 100ms - QNetworkInterface * Fixed R-handle leak in Symbian version of qnetworkinterface_unix.cpp * Introduced a new qnetworkinterface_symbian.cpp, because there wasn't really anything common to UNIX equivalent - QHostInfo * Added support for host lookups with multiple ipv4 addresses. - QUdpSocket * Updated BindFlag documentation to reflect behaviour on Symbian OS - QLocale * Removed workaround for missing tzname symbol, fixes QLocal timeZone implementation for Symbian. - QTemporaryFile * Fixed temporary file rename in Symbian OS. - QThread * Fix for thread termination in Symbian OS. - QIoDevice * Fixed compilation error when QIODEVICE_DEBUG is defined. - QS60Style * Added subElementRect implementation for SE_ItemViewItemCheckIndicator. * Added support for E90 layouts. * Added support for QScrollArea, QTextEditor, QGroupBox, QTreeView, QToolBar and QDial styling. * Better support for theme and layout changes. * Better support for themed palettes and themed text colors. * Better support for multiselection in item views. * Better theming for QTable and QPanel. * Better support of highlight graphics and texts for QLists, QTreeViews, QCalendarWidgets and QComboBoxes. * Support polishing fonts. Fonts are no longer changed within the drawing code. * Draw spinbox arrowbuttons side-by-side, instead one on top of the other. * Harmonize widget drawing so that widgets are of similar height. * Support check states for QLists and QPushButtons. * Support flat QPushButtons. * Support busy indicator. * Support QScrollBar pressed state. * Support QPushButton disabled theme graphics. * Separate theme background for QDialogs. * Clarify QToolButton pressed state. * Removed linedrawing of panels and groupboxes. * Fix palette-polution for a style that is activated from an application after S60Style has been in use. * Fix for frame masks with color depth other than EGrey2. * Fix for squeezed QTabBars. * Fix memory leak when color skinning graphics. - QDesktopServices * Switched QDesktopServices mail-to URL handling to RSendAs in Symbian, due to the fact that CSendUi requires extensive capabilities to work correctly. Currently e-mail sending with qdesktopservices::openUrl works in Symbian only if e-mail account already exists. - QCoeFepInputContext (non-public) * Fixes FEP crash when changing the focused Qt widget to NULL. - QApplication * 252798: Fixed layout when orientation changed via AknAppUi::SetOrientationL. * Generating MouseEvents has gone through several changes - QUdpSocket * Wrote hack for QUdpSocket::writeDatagram return value in Symbian OS. - QNativeSocketEnginePrivate (non-public) * Changed select to listen also expectfds in Symbain OS for given sockets (Workaround to Open C bug). * Fix to Open C bug: Socket connect failure is indicated exception set. - QEventDispatcherSymbian (non-public) * Fixed ASSERT panic in Symbian event dispatcher * 246600: Fix problem in eventdispatcher destructor / AO canceling * Fixed active scheduler removal when calling QThread::terminate * Fix to Open C bug: select sometimes returns -1 and errno is ECONNREFUSED **************************************************************************** * Examples and demos * **************************************************************************** - Drilldown * Added to demonstrate QtSql usage in Symbian OS - Deform, Pathstroke, and Wiggly * Removed Symbian specific animation timer fixes since more generic fix was made to event dispatcher. - Ftp * Enabled default iap setting for FTP example - DesktopServices * Implemented content filters for desktopservices example. * Added error handling to qdesktopservices example when openUrl fails. - SecureSocketClient * Fixed build issue caused by lack of cursor. - Fluidlauncher * Removed ugly workaround to make emulator deployment work correctly, since the issue has been fixed in qmake. * Included drilldown to demonstrate QtSql usage * Updated screenshots to S60 style **************************************************************************** * Tools * **************************************************************************** - qmake * Support for generating Symbian "test" targets: CONFIG += symbian_test. * Support for Symbian Build System, version 2 (aka Raptor) via symbian-sbsv2 mkspec. * PAGED keyword is added to all MMP files by default, except in S60 3.1 builds. * Read-only flag is no longer preserved when deploying files into emulator environment. * Changed the timestamp to ISO format in all files generated by qmake for symbian-* mkspecs. * Qt's VERSION variable will now generate VERSION keyword in mmp files. * Made Open C include paths handling bit more robust. - configure * -cetest is no longer a supported switch for configure. * -stl option is enabled by default for Symbian OS * -openssl option is enabled by default for Symbian OS. * -fpu option enables vfpu type selection for ARM targets. - Release package creation * Removed the obsolete script to create release package. - Createpackage script * Now creates packages with .sis suffix. - Patch_capabilities script * Will now patch also vendor id. **************************************************************************** * Documnetation * **************************************************************************** - qmake-manual * 250370: Added documentation for ICON keyword **************************************************************************** * Plugins * **************************************************************************** - S60 version specific plugins * Isolated S60 version dependent functionality to S60 version specific plugins (qts60plugin_x_y.dll) to make it possible for single build to run on any supported device, even if with reduced functionality on some. **************************************************************************** * Important Behavior Changes * **************************************************************************** - Qt libs * Qt libs are now built with "All -Tcb" capabilities always. It is now always necessary to run patch_capabilities.pl script if self-signing of Qt libs is desired. * QtCore and QtSql made UNPAGED as workaround for an obscure crash when they are paged. - todo * todo
