Revision control
++ Qt 5.12.1 is a bug-fix release. It maintains both forward and backward
++ compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 5.12.0.
++
++ For more details, refer to the online documentation included in this
++ distribution. The documentation is also available online:
++
++
++ The Qt version 5.12 series is binary compatible with the 5.11.x series.
++ Applications compiled for 5.11 will continue to run with 5.12.
++
++ Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers

++ * Important Behavior Changes *
++ ****************************************************************************
++
++ - qmake / WinRT:
++ * Cross-builds will now ignore pre-set values of %INCLUDE% and %LIB%
++ when building target executables. If necessary, use configure's -I and
++ -L switches when building Qt, and pass QMAKE_INCDIR and QMAKE_LIBDIR
++ on qmake's command line when building own projects.

++
++ - Fixed the icons for the "file save" action that were inaccurate
++ representations of a 3.5-inch floppy disk (the cut edge was on the wrong
++ side). Now all floppy representations are physically accurate.
++

++ * QtCore *
++ ****************************************************************************
++
++ - [QTBUG-71256] QString, QByteArray and QLocale's toDouble return an infinity
++ on overflow (since 5.7), while setting ok to false; this was at odds with
++ their documented behavior of returning 0 on failure. The documentation now
++ reflects the actual behavior.
++ - [QTBUG-71868] QString, QByteArray and QLocale's toFloat returned an
++ infinity on double-overflow (since 5.7) but returned 0 on a finite double
++ outside float's range, while setting ok to false; this was at odds with
++ their documented behavior of returning 0 on any failure. They also
++ succeeded, returning zero, on underflow of float's range, unless double
++ underflowed, where they failed. Changed the handling of values outside
++ float's range to match that of values outside double's range: fail,
++ returning an infinity on overflow or zero on underflow. The documentation
++ now reflects the revised behavior, which matches toDouble().
++
++ - QCborStreamReader:
++ * [QTBUG-71426] Made setDevice() clear the last error.
++
++ - QCollator:
++ * [QTBUG-58621] Added support for collation in the C locale, albeit this is
++ only well-defined for ASCII. Collation sort keys remain unsupported on
++ Darwin.
++
++ - QContiguousCache:
++ * [QTBUG-52125] Fixed a memory leak.
++
++ - QObject:
++ * [QTBUG-32340] Fixed a bug that caused isSignalConnected() to return
++ true if the signal was connected and later disconnected.
++ * [QTBUG-71550] Fixed a bug that caused isSignalConnected() not to
++ report signals that were connected by the QML engine.
++
++ - QPluginLoader:
++ * [QTBUG-71443] Fixed the parsing of ELF headers (Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris,
++ etc.), which could cause certain valid plugins to not be deteced as
++ valid.
++
++ - QRegularExpression:
++ * [QTBUG-72539] The wildcardToRegularExpression method now returns a
++ properly anchored pattern.
++
++ - QSettings:
++ * [QTBUG-72007] Fixed QSettings parsing of blank spaces after comment lines
++ in INI-style configuration files.
++
++ - QStringListModel:
++ * setData will now emit the dataChanged() signal only if the string set
++ is different from the one already contained in the model
++
++ - QSysInfo:
++ * [QTBUG-72489] Now returns "Mojave" in prettyProductName() for macOS
++ 10.14.
++
++ - QUrl:
++ * [QTBUG-71973] Changed the normalization done by
++ QUrl::NormalizePathSegments) to match what web browsers do for non-local
++ URLs.
++
++ ****************************************************************************
++ * QtGui *
++ ****************************************************************************
++
++ - Text:
++ * Fixed a bug where eliding text could change the height of its bounding
++ rectangle for certain fonts.
++ * Improved appearance of monochrome text on some platforms.
++ * Fixed so ShowTabsAndSpaces will use the correct font.
++
++ ****************************************************************************
++ * QtSql *
++ ****************************************************************************
++
++ - PostgreSQL:
++ * Added support for PostgreSQL 11
++
++ ****************************************************************************
++ * QtWidgets *
++ ****************************************************************************
++
++ - Reverted a Qt 5.12.0 behavior change in QToolTip that made plain tooltip
++ text be wrapped automatically.
++ - [QTBUG-72844] Fixed a regression related to accepting a Drag'n'Drop event.
++ - [QTBUG-27110] Reverted a change that caused a regression related to
++ styling a QListView using CSS.
++
++ - QWidgetLineControl/security:
++ * Zero-out the string that contains a password entered into the
++ QLineEdit
++ * Preallocate a buffer for the string that contains the entered value
++ when the QLineEdit serves as a password input field to minimize
++ reallocations.
++
++ ****************************************************************************
++ * Platform Specific Changes *
++ ****************************************************************************
++
++ - Android:
++ * QClipboard now supports HTML and URI data.
++
++ - Windows:
++ * Reduced the number of font engines that are created when loading new
++ fonts, fixing crashes in some special cases where a large number of
++ fonts are created during a short period of time.
++
++ - X11:
++ * [QTBUG-71296] Fixed a bug with open/close hand cursors not being shown
++ correctly.
++ * [QTBUG-46626][QTBUG-70756] Fixed a bug with dialogs hidden by other
++ windows in certain use cases.
++
++ ****************************************************************************
++ * Third-Party Code *
++ ****************************************************************************
++
++ - [QTBUG-65503] Removed xkbcommon from bundled sources. This library is
++ present on all supported platforms. The minimal required version now is
++ 0.5.0.
++ - Updated bundled SQLite to version 3.26.0.
++
++ ****************************************************************************
++ * Tools *
++ ****************************************************************************
++
++ - moc now parses enum struct the same way as enum class therefore that
++ keyword can be used with the Q_ENUM macro as well as Q_FLAG and
++ Q_DECLARE_FLAGS.
