<div class="descr"> <a name="details"></a>
<p>The focus for Qt 5.3 is mainly about improving the stability, performance, and first-time user experience of the product. Qt 5.3 will also offer a good amount of new and exciting features, and a new platform: <a href="build-sources.html#winrt">WinRT</a>/Windows Phone.</p>
<p>This page is a summary of new features. For specific API changes, the <a href="whatsnew59.html#list-of-api-changes">List of API Changes</a> section contains links to new and obsolete classes.</p>
<a name="new-modules"></a>
<h2 id="new-modules">New Modules</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.3/enginio-index.html">Enginio</a> - A client-side library for <a href="https://qtcloudservices.com/">Qt Cloud Services</a>.</li>
<li><a href="../qtwebsockets/qtwebsockets-index.html">Qt WebSockets</a> - An add-on module that implements the <a href="nolink">WebSocket</a> standard <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455">RFC 6455</a></li>
</ul>
<p>For more information, visit the <a href="qtmodules.html">All Modules</a> page.</p>
<a name="new-platforms"></a>
<h2 id="new-platforms">New Platforms</h2>
<p>Qt 5.3 introduces support for <a href="build-sources.html#winrt">WinRT</a> and Windows Phone on a beta quality level. Most features in Qt Core, GUI, Network, Widgets, QML, Quick, and Sensors are already working.</p>
<ul>
<li>Windows Runtime platforms: Windows 8/RT (Modern UI), Windows Phone 8. The documentation is available at <a href="winrt-support.html">Qt for WinRT</a>.</li>
</ul>
<a name="new-features"></a>
<h2 id="new-features">New Features</h2>
<a name="qt-core-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt Core Module</h3>
<ul>
<li>Logging: It is now possible to configure logging rules (for example, the message types for which categories are printed) on the filesystem or in <i>QtProject/qtlogging.ini</i>. You can also use <a href="../qtcore/qloggingcategory.html#qCDebug">qCDebug</a> and friends in a printf-style way, in addition to the streaming operator syntax.</li>
</ul>
<a name="qt-gui-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt GUI Module</h3>
<ul>
<li>Qt's iOS plugin now implements support for input methods, spell checking and word completion.</li>
<li>Embedded Linux platform specifics (plugins like eglfs and linuxfb) are now documented.</li>
</ul>
<a name="qt-quick-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt Quick Module</h3>
<ul>
<li>Introduced <a href="../qtquick/qquickwidget.html">QQuickWidget</a> for easy and flexibe integration of views with <a href="../qtwidgets/qwidget.html">QWidget</a>-based UIs.</li>
</ul>
<a name="qt-quick-controls-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt Quick Controls Module</h3>
<ul>
<li>The <a href="../qtquickcontrols/qml-qtquick-controls-calendar.html">Calendar</a> control was added. Calendar allows selection of dates from a grid of days, similar to <a href="../qtwidgets/qcalendarwidget.html">QCalendarWidget</a>.</li>
<li><a href="menustyle-qmlmodule.html">MenuStyle</a> and <a href="menubarstyle-qmlmodule.html">MenuBarStyle</a> controls introduced.</li>
</ul>
<a name="qt-quick-dialogs-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt Quick Dialogs Module</h3>
<ul>
<li>The QML implementations are now built with <a href="../qtqml/qtquick-qmlmodule.html">QtQuick</a>.Controls (and therefore the source is moved from qtdeclarative.git to qtquickcontrols.git), which enables adding some features such as folder shortcuts (both standard locations and bookmarked locations), and comboboxes for file filters and writing systems.</li>
<li>There is a new Dialog type which provides only the standard buttons, so that you can construct dialogs with arbitrary contents, such as various types of input dialogs and pickers.</li>
</ul>
<a name="qt-network-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt Network Module</h3>

In addition, the class provides a way to list available cameras on the system and deprecates QCamera::availableDevices().</li>
</ul>
<a name="qt-webkit-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt WebKit Module</h3>
<ul>

</ul>
<a name="xinput2-smooth-scrolling"></a>
<h3 >XInput2 Smooth Scrolling</h3>
