## Notable changes for future Qt version upgrade

### [Qt 5.13](https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.13)

- Added `SplitView`
- Added `cache` property to icon

### [Qt 5.14](https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.14)

- Applications can now opt-in to use non-integer scale factors.
  Use `QGuiApplication::highDpiScaleFactorRoundingPolicy`.

- Added `qmlRegisterSingletonInstance` function.
  This allows to expose a QObject as a singleton to QML, without having to
  create a factory function as required by `qmlRegisterSingletonType`.
  It is meant as a type safe replacement of `setContextProperty`.

- Added `qmlRegisterAnonymousType` as a replacement for `qmlRegisterType`.
  It allows to specify the URI and major version for better tooling support.

- qmllint gained an experimental -U option. If run with it, it warns about 
  about accesses to unqualified identifiers

- `Text` and `TextEdit` now support Markdown format
  (CommonMark and GitHub dialects) as an alternative to HTML.
  Includes the GitHub checklist extension, such that you can click to toggle
  checkboxes in a `TextEdit`.

- `TextEdit` uses an I-beam cursor by default, and a pointing-hand cursor when
  hovering a checkbox or a link

- Added `WheelHandler`, an Event Handler for the mouse wheel, and optionally
  for emulated mouse wheel events coming from a trackpad.

- Added `BoundaryRule` in Qt.labs.animation: a `PropertyValueInterceptor` that
  restricts the range of values a numeric property can have, applies
  "resistance" when the value is overshooting, and provides the ability to
  animate it back within range. It's particularly useful in combination with
  `WheelHandler`, to provide similar physics as Flickable has.

- `Image` and `BorderImage` now have the same `currentFrame` and `frameCount`
  properties that `AnimatedImage` has; this allows choosing an individual icon
  from an .ICO file that contains multiple icons, for example.
  In the future it's intended to support other multi-page formats such as
  PDF, TIFF and WEBP.

### [Qt 5.15](https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.15)

- Introduced inline components
  (ability to declare multiple QML components in the same file)

- Introduced `required` properties

- Added a declarative way of registering types to QML

- Added support for the Nullish Coalescing Operator (`??`)

- Added `qmlformat` tool which automatically formats any QML file according to
  the QML Coding Conventions.

- Added `cursorShape` property to pointer handlers. Most pointer handlers
  (e.g. `DragHandler`) will change the cursor when the active state is true.
  `HoverHandler` will change it when the mouse is hovering over the `Item` that
  contains the `HoverHandler`.
