+****************************************************************************
+*                            Qt Wayland QPA Plugin                         *
+****************************************************************************
+
+- Fix show/hide: destroy the Wayland surface instead of attaching a
+  null buffer. This fixes an xdg-shell protocol error, close animations,
+  and problems with hide on some EGL drivers.
+
+- Fix crash when trying to run on a compositor without outputs
+
+- Fix bug that updated the Wayland cursor on every mouse move
+
+- XDG shell: popup fixes
+
+- Fix geometry when FramelessWindowHint is changed
+
+- Allow running without any shell extension
+
+- Multiple stability improvements
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+*                       Qt Wayland Compositor API                          *
+****************************************************************************
+
+QtWaylandCompositor is now officially released. It is not source or binary
+compatible with the tech preview released with Qt 5.7. From now on the
+normal Qt compatibility guarantees apply, so QtWaylandCompositor 5.8 will
+be source and binary compatible with Qt 5.9.
+
+- Add IVI application support for Qt-based compositors
+
+- General API renaming
+   * Rename isShm -> isSharedMemory
+        and BufferType_Shm -> BufferType_SharedMemory
+   * Rename inputDevice -> seat
+   * Rename throttlingView -> primaryView
+   * Rename isMapped -> hasContent
+   * Rename bufferLock -> bufferLocked
+   * Rename discardFrontBuffers -> allowDiscardFrontBuffer
+   * Rename QWaylandView::attach() -> bufferCommitted()
+   * Rename XdgShell -> XdgShellV5
+   * Rename enableWSCursor -> windowSystemCursorEnabled
+   * Rename signals:
+      - createSurface -> surfaceRequested
+      - createXdgSurface -> xdgSurfaceRequested
+      - createXdgPopup -> xdgPopupRequested
+      - createShellSurface -> wlShellSurfaceRequested
+      - shellSurfaceCreated -> wlShellSurfaceCreated
+
+- Major QML API Changes
+   * View is removed from the Qt Quick API (use WaylandItem instead)
+   * Changing keymap from QML is now supported
+   * QWaylandDrag is now available to QML as WaylandDrag
+
+- Major C++ API changes
+   * New texture/buffer handling: bindToTexture() is replaced by
+     toOpenGLTexture() which returns a QOpenGLTexture.
+   * New and improved keymap support
+   * New and improved mode support (monitor size/refresh rate)
+   * Remove touch focus, allowing touch input to multiple clients
+     at the same time
+   * Add common QWaylandShell base class
+
+- Behavior changes
+   * sizeFollowsWindow now defaults to false
+   * Touch events are now enabled by default for Qt Quick compositors
