++ over the 5.7.x series. For more details, refer to the online documentation
++ included in this distribution. The documentation is also available online:
++
++
++ The Qt version 5.8 series is binary compatible with the 5.7.x series.
++ Applications compiled for 5.7 will continue to run with 5.8.

++ ****************************************************************************
++ * 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
