QtBearer
------

 - Various memory leaks.
 - Documentation fixes.
 - QNetworkSession API changes.
    * Renamed isActive() to isOpen().
    * Renamed property key "ActiveConfigurationIdentifier" to
      "ActiveConfiguration".
    * Renamed property key "UserChoiceConfigurationIdentifier" to
      "UserChoiceConfiguration".
    * bearerName() function moved to QNetworkConfiguration::bearerName().
 - Symbian
    * Add Symbian build time declarations to examples and tests (capabilities,
      UIDs etc).
 - Improved unit test coverage and stability.


QtContacts
------

 - QContactManager (and QContactManagerEngine where applicable)
    * add QContactManager(QObject* parent) ctor
    * deprecate filterSupported(), add isFilterSupported()
    * deprecate synthesizeDisplayLabel(), add synthesizedDisplayLabel()
    * managerFeature - enums as powers of two (deprecation strategy?)
    * deprecate implementationVersion(), add managerVersion()
    * deprecate splitUri(), add parseUri()
    * deprecate contacts() functions, replace with contactIds() functions
    * add new contacts() functions which return QList<QContact> and can be limited to particular details
       - add a restrictToDefinitions/Fields parameter in contacts() and contact()
    * deprecate old batch saveContacts() and removeContacts() functions, replace with new ones
       - return bool, and take new param: map of int (input list index) to error which occurred for the item at that index
       - consistent with async request changes, clearer, and more consistent with single save/remove functions too.

 - QContactManagerEngine
    * deprecated request-related functions in QCME, replaced with better/cleaner ones
       - deprecated updateRequest() functions in QCME, replaced with:
          . updateContactFetchRequest()
          . updateContactSaveRequest()
          . updateContactRemoveRequest()
          . updateContactLocalIdFetchRequest()
          . updateDetailDefinitionSaveRequest()
          . updateDetailDefinitionRemoveRequest()
          . updateDetailDefinitionFetchRequest()
          . updateRelationshipSaveRequest()
          . updateRelationshipFetchRequest()
          . updateRelationshipRemoveRequest()
       - deprecated updateRequestStatus() and replace with a new updateRequestState() function.
       - state and results are now updated separately and a distinct signal is emitted for each.

 - QContactDetail
    * deprecate values(), add variantValues()
    * access constraints now in detail instead of definition (set by backend on a per-detail basis)
       - possible constraints are now: ReadOnly, Irremovable, NoConstraint.  Deprecated CreateOnly constraint.

 - QContactDetailDefinition
    * deprecate fields() returning nonconst reference. (To be removed after transition period has elapsed).
    * Rename QContactDetailDefinitionField class to QContactDetailFieldDefinition (deprecated via typedef).

 - QContactAction
    * deprecate metadata(), add metaData()

 - QContactDetails
    * Deprecate QContactGeolocation, add QContactGeoLocation
    * QContactName -> deprecate first() add firstName(), same for middle() and last().
    * QContactOnlineAccount -> added Capabilities (string list) field

 - QContactAbstractRequest and leaf classes
    * QContactDetailDefinitionFetchRequest: deprecated names()/setNames, add definitionNames()/setDefinitionNames()
    * Deprecate Status enum, add State enum (values suffixed by State; eg, ActiveState)
    * deprecate status(), add state()
    * deprecate waitForProgress() -- to be removed (unnecessary API).
    * add stateChanged() signal to base class
    * deprecate progress() signal, add resultsAvailable() signal to base class
       - note that resultsAvailable() signal does not contain a ptr to self - use sender() instead.
       - state and results are now updated separately in the backend, with distinct signal emitted for each.
    * QContact*RemoveRequest -> take a list of items as input arguments, instead of a filter / filtering values.
       - allows detailed error reporting for remove requests, and is more intuitive / simpler API.
       - current selection criteria functions in RemoveRequests have been deprecated.
       - this change affects QContactRemoveRequest, QContactDetailDefinitionRemoveRequest and QContactRelationshipRemoveRequest.
    * deprecated errors() function from base QContactAbstractRequest class
    * added errorMap() function to various leaf classes where that class' selection input is a list of items
       - errorMap() returns a map of input list index to an error which occurred for the item at that index.
 - SamplePhonebook
    * UI layout refactored to fit small screen better

QtLocation
------

 - QGeoPositionInfoSource
    * Renamed requestTimeout to updateTimeout().
    * updateTimeout() is now emitted during periodic updates if
      the update is late or an error occurs.
 - QGeoCoordinate
    * Renamed QGeoCoordinate:DecimalDegrees to QGeoCoordinate::Degrees.
 - QGeoPositionInfo
    * Renamed property() to attribute().
    * Renamed setProperty() to setAttribute().
    * Renamed hasProperty() to hasAttribute().
    * Renamed removeProperty() to removeAttribute().
    * Renamed QGeoPositionInfo::Heading to QGeoPositionInfo::Direction.
 - QGeoSatelliteInfo
    * Renamed property() to attribute().
    * Renamed setProperty() to setAttribute().
    * Renamed hasProperty() to hasAttribute().
    * Renamed removeProperty() to removeAttribute().
 - QNmeaPositionInfoSource
    * Added protected virtual function parsePosInfoFromNmeaData() to 
      enable clients to handle non-standard NMEA sentences if they need to.

QtMessaging
------

 - Wrap QMessageStore with QMessageManager.
    * In order to provide a consistent interface with other components
      of QtMobility that provide a central data manager interface, the
      existing QMessageStore interface is now private, and replaced in
      the public interface by the QMessageManager class.
    
      The new class provides exactly the same interface as the old class
      except that it is instantiated as a handle rather than accessed as
      a singleton.  Internally the handle object can be instantiated as
      needed, but in documentation or examples the class should be treated
      as if it were potentially expensive to create and destroy; this will
      give a consistent form of use for all Q{x}Manager classes between
      the various QtMobility projects.
    
      The old QMessageStore class is still used internally by the
      QMessageManager, so the latter class need not be reimplemented for
      multiple platforms.

 - Rename Q{X}Ordering to Q{X}SortOrder.
    * For increased consistency between QtMobility APIs.

 - Support ordering via a list of SortOrder objects.
    * For consistency with other QtMobility APIs, allow a composite ordering
      to be specified using a list of Q{X}SortOrder objects rather than
      requiring the objects to be accumulated via the + operator.

 - Rename QMessageDataComparator::Options to MatchFlags.

 - Rename QMessageServiceAction to QMessageService.
    * The term 'action' is already used with conflicting meanings;
      it can represnt a user-input (QAction), or a facility provided
      by a service provider which is exposed to the user (as in
      QContactAction).
    
      QMessageService provides a proxy, dispatcher or broker
      facility, but adding any of these terms to the class name has
      been judged as not constituting an improvement to readability.

 - Return int from size() functions.
    * Consistent with standard Qt practice.

 - Rename write{Text}ContentTo to write{Text}Content.
    * For improved consistentcy with Qt naming.

 - Rename QMessageManager::ErrorCode to QMessageManager::Error.
    * For improved consistency with Qt naming.

 - Reorder the parameters for QMessageAddress(Type, Address).
    * There is a logical dependency of address on type.

 - API improvements to QMessageService.
    * Use the same State enum values as used by the QtMobility Contacts
      API, and provide the same stateChanged() signal signature.
    
      Rename cancelOperation() to cancel() for consistency with Qt.

 - Rename QMessageStore:: and QMessageManager::lastError() to error().
    * This is the more common form in Qt, and in line with the equivalent
      Contacts interface name.

 - Rename QMessageFolder::displayName() to name().
    * DisplayName should be used where the name used for display purposes
      differs from the fundamental name property.

 - Symbian specific fixes
    * Added correct Symbian UID to Messaging DLL
    * Corrected exporting of public headers (to /epoc32/include/)
    * Changed DLL capability to: ALL -TCB (was previously: ALL -TCB -AllFiles -DRM)
    * Fixed "." (application private) folder support (attachments)
      Now all auto tests can use "." folder for test files
    * Fixed auto tests to use "." folder (just like in other backends)
    * Fixed file type recognition bug (.png files)
    * Fixed bug: Messaging queries list unknown (for example bluetooth)
                 messages from Inbox
    * Nested filters support for account, folder & message filters finalized, all auto tests pass
    * MIME type handling related bugs fixed
    * Character set handling bugs fixes
    * Default account bug fixed
    * Message attachment memory usage optimized
    * Standard folder support for emails improved (Inbox filtering)
    * Message size calculation accuracy improved
    * CEikonEnv usages removed (relations to Symbian UI Framework)
    * message type handling improved (if message type is not defined, message type is retrieved from parentAccount)
      Related to bug that prevented MMS message sending from MessagingEx
      (Note: MMS message sending in writemessage example worked)
    * MMS Message content retrieval bug fixed (related to QByteArray QMessageContentContainer::content() const; bug)

    * Replaced QMediaObject* constructor parameter with setMediaObject()
      function.

    * Renamed uri() to url().
    * Renamed channels() to channelCount().
    * Renamed size() to dataSize().

*                      Platform Specific Changes                           *
****************************************************************************

Qt Mobility for Embedded Linux
------

 -

Qt Mobility for Unix (X11 and Mac OS X)
------

 - 

Qt Mobility for Linux/X11
------

 -

Qt Mobility for Windows
------

 - Added Direct Show based media player service implementation.

Qt Mobility for Mac OS X
------

 -

Qt Mobility for Windows CE
------

 -

Qt Mobility for Maemo5
------

 - Experimental support for QtLocation
 - Experimental support for QtSystemInfo
 
 Qt Mobility for Symbian
------

 - QContactManager backends
    * QContactAvatar: Added support for pixmap field and VideoRingtone subtype. For pixmap field there is a known issue that it is not always shown in the name list view of S60 platform Phonebook.
    * The display label now uses the same formatting rules as the platform phonebook application, except that "unnamed" contact label is not localised.
    * When filtering with QContactDisplayLabel and match flag MatchStartsWith is set the filtering rules follow the platform Phonebook's name list view filtering rules.
    * When filtering with a phone number detail and match flags MatchPhoneNumber is set the filtering rules follow the platform Phonebook's phone number matching rules. Known issue: the matched phone number needs to be at least 7 digits.
    * Contact filtering: added support for intersection and union filters. This improves performance in those cases where the contained filters give only a sub-set of the contacts.
    * Fixed a bug where modifying the details of a self-contact failed.
    * Added an experimental support for SIM ADN contacts with QContactManager implementation named "symbiansim".
    * Several bug fixes to contact relationships.
    * Fixed the error handling when a client tries to update the contact type. This is not supported.
    * Bugfix: Saving and deleting contacts in quick successive manner caused the contact database server to fail on S60 3.2 devices.
    * Bugfix [QTMOBILITY-54]: Loading a QContact for a contact database contact with an undefined field type caused a crash. 

 - Installpath for Symbian headers changed
    * Contacts and Versit installed to EPOCROOT/include/app
    * All other API headers installed to EPOCROOT/include/mw

 - Multimedia
    * Symbian backend added for 3rd ed FP1, 3rd ed FP2 and 5th ed. Following services supported
      - AudioCapture

      - Radio support (needs sim-card when testing)
        * listen radio
        * search channels / frequency
        * change volume
      - Mediaplayer
        * play local files
        * play local video
        * play stream e.g. from youtube working

	* read extended metadata supported
        * writing metada to file not supported by S60
        * codec support depends on device model
        * AudioDeviceControl not implemented for mediaplayer, defaults to device default.

****************************************************************************
*                          Tools                                           *
