****************************************************************************
*                          Library                                         *
****************************************************************************

QtBearer
------

- Fixed MOBILITY-748: Private Qt header usage has been removed
- Fixed MOBILITY-600: Memory leak on Mac fixed
- Multiple optimizations on Mac OS
- Maemo 5 and Maemo 6 use exact same code base
- ConnectInBackground support for Symbian added
- Maemo 5 (Fremantle) specific fixes
    * Fixed QTMOBILITY-70: bearermonitor application has serious layout issues
      preventing any use of the app
    * Fixed MOBILITY-723: BearerEx test application isn't usable in N900
    * Fixed MOBILITY-600: QNetworkSession is not asynchronous on Maemo and
      leads to crashes
- Static analysis errors fixed
    

QtContacts
------

- A large number of API changes have been made.  These were largely
   cosmetic or minor structural changes - the overall structure of the
   API is similar to the beta, with more consistency between different
   parts (particularly related to returning bool and using a map of
   errors)
    * The QContactAction (& related classes and APIs) has been removed - the
      intent is to re-add them once their design and implementation has been
      stabilized.
    * Some functionality has been removed (relationship ordering, action
      preferences for details).
    * QContactAvatar has been split into QContactThumbnail and QContactAvatar.
    * QContactOnlineAccount has been split into QContactPresence and QCOA
- A number of new functions have been added (QCM::compatibleContact,
      QCM::synthesizeContactDisplayLabel)
- The API uses QImage instead of QPixmap, to avoid non-gui thread
   issues with QPixmap usage.
- The names of details, and the keys of fields in details are now
   restricted to Latin 1 (for performance and memory usage optimization).
- Bugs fixed etc


QtVersit
------

- A number of API changes have been made, to make it easier to use
   the QtVersit library for simple tasks (like reading directly from
   a QByteArray), and to make the API more consistent with QtContacts
- The API uses QImage instead of QPixmap, to avoid non-gui thread
   issues with QPixmap usage.


QtLocation
------

- API change
    * QGeoPositionInfo::dateTime()/setDateTime() changed into
      QGeoPositionInfo::timestamp()/setTimestamp() respectively.
    * Added serialization functions for QGeoSatelliteInfo
- Maemo 5 (Fremantle) backend implemented


QtMessaging
------

- Maemo 5 (Fremantle) backend implemented
    * SMS and Email message types supported.
    * modest process must be restarted before Fremantle backend is fully
      operational. This can be achieved by restarting the device.
- API changes
    * QMessageAddress::recipient()/setRecipient renamed to
      QMessageAddress::addressee()/setAddressee respectively.
    * QMessage::XMPP renamed to QMessage::InstantMessage.
- Symbian specific fixes
    * Notifications which are related to internal folders (0x100001
      and 0x100002) are ignored.
    * Notifications about messages which are "created and then
      immediately removed" (before message can be read to QMessage) are
      removed from notifications queue and are not ever tried to
      deliver.
    * Improved message filtering functionality in case when whole
      message should be used for filtering but whole message can not
      be read yet from message store.
    * Notifications which can be delivered immediately will be
      delivered without putting notifications into queue.
    * The following filter now works:
      registerNotificationFilter(
          QMessageFilter::byStandardFolder(QMessage::InboxFolder) &
          QMessageFilter::byType(QMessage::Mms))
- Regression in keepintouch example fixed, incorrect results were returned
   when 'but not last' checkbox was unchecked.
- Format of identifiers changed
   * For forwards compatibility.


QtMedia
------
- Symbian backend improvements
    * AudioCapture
      - Bug fixes and codec support improvements
    * Mediaplayer
      - Audio routing implemented (destinations speaker, headphones, default)
    * Camera
      - Camera bug fixes and feature improvements
      - Note: Camera eventually separated from QtMedia API (has its own plugin)
- Symbian^3 backend for audio recording (uses OpenMaxAL)
- Tweaked few examples to have more features
- Maemo 5 (Fremantle) backend implemented
- AudioCapture
- API changes
    * Added CoverArtImage, PosterImage, and ThumbnailImage meta-data keys to
      address embedded images.
    * Changed QVideoWidget to use the Qt::AspectRatioMode enumeration instead
      of defining its own enumeration of the same name.
- Behavioural changes
   * Changed to QVideoWidget to consistently not fill the background with black
     by default.


QtPublishSubscribe
------

- Maemo 5 (Fremantle) GConf backend finalized
    * Support for monitoring changes in GConf
    * Serialize unsupported QVariant data types in string with BASE64 encoding
    * Autotests
    * Example application modified to be usable in N900


QtServiceFramework
------

- Symbian backend improvements
    * Mainly security fixes
       - Security token usage in databases, db server in protected namespace etc.
    * Capability fixes (reduced)


QtSystemInfo
------

    * Implemented remaining backend.
    * Fix memory leakage.

- Maemo 5 (Fremantle)

- rssi timers now fire every 5 seconds on all platforms.
- Added currentMode to API.
- currentMode() added in network info

- QSensorReading::value() is no longer virtual.
- Many sensor classes have been changed. Please see the documentation on each sensor class in use.
- Change qtimestamp type declaration to avoid an interaction between the compiler and Qt's meta system.
- Added QSensorBackend::sensor().
- Replaced updatePolicy and updateInterval with dataRate.

****************************************************************************
*                      Platform Specific Changes                           *
****************************************************************************

Qt Mobility for Symbian
------

-  Contacts
    * Bug fix: Display label of a contact now does not include organization if first name or last name are available
    * Bug fix: Several fixes to contact filtering
    * Bug fix: Backends were instantiated twice. This caused for example a problem with SamplePhonebook startup; the application sometimes refused to re-start after it had been closed.
    * Bug fix: Adding contacts to a group or removing contacts from a group caused contactsChanged signal to be emitted instead of relationshipsAdded/Removed in other contact manager instances.
    * Bug fix: Adding a group caused also a contactsChanged signal to be emitted in the contact manager instance that created the group
    * Bug fix: QContactThumbnail was not shown in the name list view of S60 Phonebook on some S60 platforms.
    * Bug fix: Signal emissions when self contact is changed
    * Bug fix: Groups did not have timestamp and guid details.
    * Bug fix: S60 3.1 does not support timestamps for contacts but it was still part of the detail definition schema.
    * SIM backend now supports also SDN (Service Dialling Numbers) and FDN (Fixed Dialling Numbers)
    * Also SIM backend now emits signals
    * SIM backend now implements also the asynchronous QContactManager API
    * SIM contact phone numbers now don't have any sub type (previously they were using "mobile" sub type)
    * SIM contacts now use custom label as the name field instead of first name
    * SamplePhonebook can now be used to access and save also SIM contacts
    * Bugfix: Saving SIM contacts now preserves the original contact detail instances instead of replacing them with new instances (with different ids).
    * A work-around for issues with several consecutive SIM contacts operations
    * A work-around for issue on S60 3.1 products that made the device reboot when trying to delete non-existing contacts
    * Bug fix: Batch saving of SIM contacts did not update contact details
    * The schema definition of SIM backend now does not include e-mail and nick name details in case they are not supported by the SIM card
    * Trying to save too long details to a SIM card now gives an appropriate error
