++ * Important Behavior Changes *
++ ****************************************************************************
++
++ - [QTBUG-57602] Introduce an extension interface for the virtual keyboard.
++ All the current input methods and some special keyboard layouts (e.g.
++ Hunspell, OpenWnn, etc.) have been moved to extensions. The extension
++ interface allows third party to create a new input method without having
++ to modify or rebuild the virtual keyboard. In addition, this change
++ makes it possible to add features and languages independently by copying
++ the desired extension to the system.
++ - [QTBUG-57602] Introduce a virtualkeyboard module, which can be linked
++ against an extension plugin. This module provides the C++ API necessary
++ for creating an input method.
++ - [QTBUG-57602] Wrap the entire virtual keyboard API into Qt namespace
++ (e.g. QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE/QT_END_NAMESPACE).
