 - The experimental Direct3D paint engine has been removed. The
   reasons for this is that Qt Software focuses on OpenGL for desktop
   hardware accelerated rendering.

 - QStyleOptionGraphicsItem::exposedRect and QStyleOptionGraphicsItem::matrix
   does no longer contain fine-grained values when passed in drawItems()/paint()
   unless the QGraphicsItem::ItemUsesExtendedStyleOptions flag is enabled.
   By default, exposedRect is initialized to the item's bounding rect
   and the matrix is untransformed.

 - QStyleOptionGraphicsItem::levelOfDetails is obsoleted and its value
   is always initialized to 1. For a more fine-grained value use
   QStyleOptionGraphicsItem::levelOfDetailFromTransform(const QTransform &).
