+****************************************************************************
+*                   Important Behavior Changes                             *
+****************************************************************************
+
+QtQml
+-----
+
+   * [QTBUG-44934] Assigning a char to a string will now create a string
+     with the actual character instead of a string representation of the
+     character's code-point. A side effect of this change is that a
+     one-character string also can be assigned to a character type.
+
+QtQuick
+-------
+
+   * Flickable.DragAndOvershootBounds value changed from 2 to 3. This will
+     only affect you if you've worked around enum type checking and have
+     the integer value explicitly in your code.
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+*                          Library                                         *
+****************************************************************************
+
+
+Android
+-------
+
+ - [QTBUG-43515] Fixed a vertex shader compilation issue on certain OpenGL
+   drivers.
+
+QtQml
+-----
+
+ - [QTBUG-29769] Custom C++ value types annotated with Q_GADGET are now
+   fully accessible in the QML and QJSEngine JavaScript environment.
+
+ - Added qjsEngine(QObject*) getter similar to qmlEngine(object) that
+   allows retrieving the engine for an exposed object.
+
+ - Added Qt.hsva() function
+
+ - XMLHttpRequest:
+   * [QTBUG-35892] XMLHttpRequest now supports the OPTION method in
+     HTTP requests.
+   * QQmlXMLHttpRequest now supports "arraybuffer" binary response type.
+   * Support for synchronous requests
+
+QtQuick
+-------
+
+ - BorderImage: Add support for @2x HiDPI border images. This means, no more need to
+   multiply the border sizes by the device pixel ratio.
+
+ - [QTBUG-37946] Image: An autoTransform property has been added to control
+   whether metadata image transforms such as EXIF orientation are
+   automatically applied. By default it enabled for TIFF images and
+   disabled for JPEG.
+
+ - Changed to use the threaded render loop by default on Windows when
+   running with desktop OpenGL (opengl32.dll).
+ - [QTBUG-42813] QQuickRenderControl can now be used to render the Qt Quick
+   scene on a dedicated render thread, similarly to how the built-in
+   threaded render loop operates.
+ - Added Window.width and Window.height attached properties
+ - Added a Shortcut utility type for catching keyboard shortcuts
+
+ - Flickable:
+   * Introduced Flickable.OvershootBounds behavior that allows content
+     overshooting the boundary when flicked, but does not allow dragging
+     content beyond the boundary of Flickable.
+   * [QTBUG-22407] Flickable handles pixel deltas from trackpad gestures as
+     drags, for a more native feel
+
+ - PinchArea:
+   * Pinch gestures are recognized by the operating system on OSX
+   * Fix infinite recursion when TouchCancel events are received.
+
+ - TextInput:
+   * SetFocusOnTouchRelease is honored
+
+ - [QTBUG-44743] Text: Fixed assert when setting an invalid width or height on an
+   <img> tag in a text element.
+
+ - TextEdit:
+   * [QTBUG-44492] Fixed positioning of text decoration with some fonts.
+   * [QTBUG-45032] Fixed issues with using other vertical alignments than
+   AlignTop.
