****************************************************************************
* Library *
****************************************************************************
QtCore
------
- QJsonObject:
* [QTBUG-86873] Fixed sorting in QJsonObject when parsing UTF-8 JSON text
so that searching works afterwards.
- QLocale:
* [QTBUG-74287] Fixed locale look-up when language is unspecified.
* [QTBUG-84669] Fixed QLocale::findLocaleDataById().
* [QTBUG-86306] Fixed incorrect guessing of the UTC time zone when the
system timezone name is unrecognized.
- QMimeDatabase:
* [QTBUG-85436] Fixed handling of glob-deleteall in QMimeDatabase.
- QStringView:
* [QTBUG-86516] A couple of methods have been added to QStringView that make
it easier to write code that is portable between Qt 5.15 and Qt 6. Those
include QStringView::split(), QStringView::count(), number conversion
methods (QStringView::toInt() and friends). A couple of overloads taking
QStringView have been added to QRegularExpression (match() and
globalMatch()) and QString (append(), prepend(), insert() and
localeAwareCompare()).
- QThreadPool:
* [QTBUG-87092] Fixed a race condition in QThreadPool::clear().
- QUrl:
* [QTBUG-86277] Changed QUrl::fromLocalFile() to accept Windows UNC paths
whose hostname component is not a valid Internet hostname. This makes QUrl
able to accept extended-length paths (\\?\), device namespace (\\.\),
WSL (\\wsl$), etc.
- QVector:
* [QTBUG-86392] Fixed a BC break in QVector's QArrayDataPointerRef constructor.
- Network:
* [QTBUG-85901] QNetworkRequest FollowRedirectsAttribute is now deprecated.

* [QTBUG-85123] QAuthenticator now tries to get credentials before using GSSAPI.
* [QTBUG-85902] If QNAM asks for HTTP/2 or 1.1 and the server doesn't list either,
we now try to connect using HTTP/1(.1) just in case, to keep compatibility.
* [QTBUG-86418] Huffman compression now handles QByteArray's elements as
unsigned char to avoid an HTTP/2 crash when using unicode in an http header.
QtGui
-----
- Image formats:
* [QTBUG-87320] Fixed a crash in QImage conversions still ongoing on shutdown.
* [QTBUG-86702] Fixed a gif read error.

- Input:
* [QTBUG-86207] We now ignore mouse events where globalPos contains NaN
to avoid a crash.
* [QTBUG-86253] Fixed a touch->mouse synthesis bug that caused widgets
to get stuck in pressed state.
- QPainter:
* [oss-fuzz-24615] Fixed a heap-buffer-overflow.
* [QTBUG-84267] Fixed a crash in QIcc::fromIccProfile.
- QScreen:
* [QTBUG-76902] QScreen now emits geometryChanged() when the logical DPI changes
so as to resize widgets and fonts after moving to a screen with different DPI.
- Text and fonts:
* [QTBUG-85016] Fixed a potential crash when rendering text with an empty font
database.
* [QTBUG-87267] We now fall back to using the family when doing an exact match
so that QFont::exactMatch() returns true for installed fonts.
* [QTBUG-85560] Fixed rendering unicode characters using a fallback font.
* [oss-fuzz-24702] QTextDocument's HTML parser now avoids an integer overflow that
resulted in extreme values for font pixelsize.

--------
- QCalendarWidget:
* [QTBUG-86307] The calendar widget now shows the year correctly after editing.
- QComboBox:
* [QTBUG-86580] QComboBox::currentText() now returns an empty string rather than
placeholderText if the text is empty.
- QGraphicsScene:
* [QTBUG-87174] Fixed a bug in the initialization of BSP trees to increase
the performance of QGraphicsScenes with non quadratic scene rectangles.
- QMenu:
* [QTBUG-77833] We now close popups on windowWillMiniaturize notification
so that context menus are not left visible when a window is minimized.
- QSpinBox:
* [QTBUG-86483] QSpinBox now avoids emitting valueChanged twice if the
application's handler takes longer than the press'n'hold timer.
- Dialogs:
* [QTBUG-87483] QFontDialog::selectedFont() is now correct at the time
the accepted signal is emitted.
* [QTBUG-10561] Fixed a reentrancy problem with processEvents() in
QProgressDialog::setValue() when using Qt::WindowModal with setValue()
connected to a signal in another thread using Qt::QueuedConnection.

as can fit into the view by by repeatedly calling canFetchMore() and
fetchMore() if necessary.
* [QTBUG-87057] Item views no longer allow CopyAction for InternalMove views,
and no longer lose items during drag-and-drop if a model only allows
MoveAction and doesn't override moveRows().
* [QTBUG-83313] Fixed CaseSensitivity handling for QRegularExpression in
QSortFilterProxyModel.
- Styles:
* [QTBUG-86411] Fixed a bug in Fusion that was adding unnecessary padding to
a groupbox without a title or indicator.

Third-Party Code
----------------
- Fixed copyright information for "XCB-XInput".
- Changed license text of "PCRE2 - Stack-less Just-In-Time Compiler"
component. The documentation (incorrectly) included the generic PCRE2
license so far.

Copyright year in the upstream MIT license text.
