+
+****************************************************************************
+* Library *
+****************************************************************************
+
+QtBluetooth
+-----------
+
+ - Added various improvements to the existing Bluetooth examples.
+ - Added various documentation improvements.
+ - Added new heartrate-game example replacing the old heartlistener example.
+
+QtNfc
+-----
+
+ - Introduced QNearFieldTarget::maxCommandLength() to make it possible to
+ check the maximum supported length for commands.
+ - Introduced QNearFieldTarget::(set)keepConnection() permitting control over
+ the connection behavior. If this flag is set the NFC device does not disconnect
+ automatically after reading an NFC message. QNearFieldTarget::disconnect()
+ was added to permit manual separation of the connection. This feature is currently
+ only implemented on Android.
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Platform Specific Changes *
+****************************************************************************
+
+Android
+-------
+
+ - Added support for QNearFieldTarget::sendCommand().
+ - Fixed crash due to references leak in QBluetoothDeviceDiscoveryAgent on Android.
+ - Added more detailed GATT error reporting.
+ - [QTBUG-58085] Fixed unnecessarily dangerous right request for ACCESS_COURSE_LOCATION
+ during BTLE scanning on Android platforms below version 23.
+ - Prevented nil exception if reading of a descriptor failed during discovery.
+ - [QTBUG-58056] Fixed not reported characteristic if system failed to read its value
+ during the service discovery.
+ - [QTBUG-53483] Added support for BTLE peripheral on Android.
+ - [QTBUG-56078] Improved likelyhood that BluetoothGatt.connectGatt() succeeds. This addresses
+ the GATT_ERROR 133 (0x85) problem on Android v23+ devices. There is no fix available
+ on older Android versions.
+ - [QTBUG-57646] Fixed problems when using QtNfc when running as a service.
+ - [QTBUG-59343] Fixed crash on restart of NFC applications.
+ - [QTBUG-59455] Fixed detection of all NFC tags even non-NDEF tags.
+ - [QTBUG-59917] Added workaround for BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED security exception when
+ attempting to read a BTLE HID service.
+
+iOS/macOS
+---------
+
+ - Fixed missing behavior whereby QLowEnergyController::disconnectFromDevice()
+ did not stop advertisement.
+ - [QTBUG-58080] Changed priority of advertised BTLE device name. Qt prefers the
+ device name as set by the advertisement data over the GAP name.
+
+Linux/BlueZ
+-----------
+
+ - [QTBUG-52692] Prevented stalling of Linux central BTLE implementation.
+ - Fixed continued advertisement of peripheral data once
+ QLowEnergyController::disconnectFromDevice() was called. Public documentation
+ was added to publically state the behavior.
+ - [QTBUG-57417] Fixed duplicated QBluetoothLocalAdapter:deviceConnected() and
+ deviceDisconnected() signal emissions if the local device has several Bluetooth adapter.
+ - [QTBUG-59392] Ensured that pairing passkey and pincode are truly random.
+ - [QTBUG-59754] Ensured that QLowEnergyController::connected() is emitted on peripheral.
+ Previously the signal was never emitted.
+
+WinRT
+-----
+
+ - [QTBUG-37779] Added support for Classic Bluetooth on WinRT.
