<a name="new-features-in-qt-5-5"></a>
<h2 id="new-features-in-qt-5-5">New Features in Qt 5.5</h2>
<a name="qt-bluetooth-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt Bluetooth Module</h3>
<ul>
<li>Classic Bluetooth support added for <a href="osx.html">macOS</a>.</li>
<li>Bluetooth Low Energy support added for <a href="android-support.html">Android</a>, <a href="ios-support.html">iOS</a> and <a href="osx.html">macOS</a></li>
</ul>
<a name="qt-core-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt Core Module</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added a possibility to have <a href="../qtcore/qobject.html#Q_PROPERTY">Q_PROPERTY</a> and <a href="../qtcore/qobject.html#Q_INVOKABLE">Q_INVOKABLE</a> within a <a href="../qtcore/qobject.html#Q_GADGET">Q_GADGET</a>, with a way to query the <a href="../qtcore/qmetaobject.html">QMetaObject</a> of such gadgets using the <a href="../qtcore/qmetatype.html">QMetaType</a> system.</li>
<li>Added <a href="../qtcore/qobject.html#Q_ENUM">Q_ENUM</a> to replace Q_ENUMS, which allows to get a <a href="../qtcore/qmetaenum.html">QMetaEnum</a> at compile time using <a href="../qtcore/qmetaenum.html#fromType">QMetaEnum::fromType</a><T>. Such enums are now automatically registered as metatypes, and can be converted to strings within <a href="../qtcore/qvariant.html">QVariant</a>, or printed as string by <a href="../qtcore/qtglobal.html#qDebug">qDebug</a>().</li>
</ul>
<a name="qt-gui-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt GUI Module</h3>
<ul>
<li>All Windows packages are now built with <code>-opengl dynamic</code>. No OpenGL-only or ANGLE-only builds are provided anymore.</li>
<li>On Windows, the OpenGL implementation to use can now be configured based on the GPU vendor and driver versions using JSON configuration files. This allows shipping fine-grained card and driver blacklists with the applications when necessary.</li>
<li><a href="../qtgui/qimage.html">QImage</a>: Added 8-bit alpha map and grayscale formats.</li>
</ul>
<a name="qt-multimedia-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt Multimedia Module</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added GStreamer 1.0 support. Note that the default is still 0.10. Version 1.0 support can be enabled by configuring Qt with <code>-gstreamer 1.0</code>.</li>
<li>Added a new video filtering framework to integrate frameworks like OpenCV or compute APIs such as OpenCL or CUDA with <a href="../qtmultimedia/qml-qtmultimedia-videooutput.html">VideoOutput</a> elements.</li>
<li>Added a new API to control camera viewfinder settings.</li>
<li>Improved camera support on iOS (focus, zoom, exposure, image and viewfinder settings).</li>
<li>The QML <a href="../qtmultimedia/qml-qtmultimedia-mediaplayer.html">MediaPlayer</a> is now rendered in an OpenGL texture on iOS. This means <a href="../qtmultimedia/qml-qtmultimedia-videooutput.html">VideoOutput</a> supports advanced transformation and shader effects, and doesn't have to be always on top of other items anymore.</li>
</ul>
<a name="qt-nfc-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt NFC Module</h3>
<ul>
<li>Ported to <a href="linux.html">Linux</a> using Neard v0.14 or later.</li>
</ul>
<a name="qt-network-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt Network Module</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added a new SSL backend for iOS and OS X, based on Secure Transport.</li>
<li>Added support for <i>libproxy</i>.</li>
<li>Added support for TLS PSK ciphersuites.</li>
<li>Added support for elliptic curve certificates.</li>
<li>Added ability to select specific curves when using elliptic curve ciphersuites.</li>
</ul>
<a name="qt-platform-abstraction-qpa"></a>
<h3 >Qt Platform Abstraction (QPA)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added support for Raspberry Pi 2.</li>
<li>On supported desktops, the xcb plugin now uses the D-Bus based <code>org.kde.StatusNotifier</code> protocol for system tray icons, and <code>org.freedesktop.Notifications</code> for notifications.</li>
<li>Added a KMS/DRM backend for EGLFS. This replaces the now deprecated KMS platform plugin. It allows running applications with eglfs on the console on systems with Mesa and devices that come with DRM support.</li>
<li>Added a plugin-based backend mechanism for EGLFS, in addition to the existing, statically compiled-in solution. Most compiled-in hooks are converted to be dynamically loaded plugins that are built based on configure time tests. This reduces the reliance on the device makespecs for Raspberry Pi, i.MX6 and Mali-based devices.</li>
<li>Input handling is now unified for EGLFS and <a href="embedded-linux.html#linuxfb">LinuxFB</a>, avoiding the need to launch and configure <a href="embedded-linux.html#linuxfb">LinuxFB</a>-based applications differently compared when using EGLFS.</li>
<li><i>tslib</i> is now better integrated with EGLFS and <a href="embedded-linux.html#linuxfb">LinuxFB</a> to provide support for resistive single-touch touchscreens often used in industrial environments.</li>
<li>xcb is refactored to move GLX and EGL support into plugins.</li>
<li>Added a TUIO Touch plugin for receiving remote touch events via UDP.</li>
<li>Added a <i>libinput</i> plugin.</li>
<li>iOS: Added support into <a href="../qtwidgets/qfiledialog.html">QFileDialog</a> for browsing system photos using a native image picker dialog. Selected photos can be loaded using <a href="../qtcore/qfile.html">QFile</a>.</li>
</ul>
<a name="qt-qml-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt QML Module</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added a possibility to conveniently expose custom C++ value types into the JavaScript environment of QML and <a href="../qtqml/qjsengine.html">QJSEngine</a>.</li>
<li>Added support for JavaScript typed arrays.</li>
<li>Various performance improvements, notably <a href="../qtqml/qjsvalue.html">QJSValue</a>.</li>
<li>Added a convenience qJsEngine(<a href="../qtcore/qobject.html">QObject</a>*) getter function.</li>
</ul>
<a name="qt-quick-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt Quick Module</h3>
<ul>
<li>Windows now defaults to the threaded Qt Quick render loop when using desktop OpenGL (<code>opengl32.dll</code>).</li>
<li>Added support for threaded rendering in <a href="../qtquick/qquickrendercontrol.html">QQuickRenderControl</a>.</li>
<li>Improved behavior of <a href="../qtquick/qml-qtquick-flickable.html">Flickable</a> on OS X trackpads using pixel deltas from native gestures.</li>
<li>Added support for <a href="../qtquick/qml-qtquick-pincharea.html">PinchArea</a> to handle native pinch gestures when the OS provides them (so far, only on OS X).</li>
<li>Added a smart zoom signal to <a href="../qtquick/qml-qtquick-pincharea.html">PinchArea</a> to react to that gesture on an OS X trackpad.</li>
<li>Added a <a href="../qtquick/qml-qtquick-mousearea.html#scrollGestureEnabled-prop">scrollGestureEnabled</a> property to <a href="../qtquick/qml-qtquick-mousearea.html">MouseArea</a> to control whether native scroll gestures from the OS will be handled by the wheel signal handler.</li>
</ul>
<a name="qt-quick-controls-module"></a>
<h3 >Qt Quick Controls Module</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="../qtquickextras/qtquickextras-index.html">Qt Quick Extras</a>, formerly Qt Quick Enterprise Controls, was added under the <a href="../qtqml/qtquick-qmlmodule.html">QtQuick</a>.Extras import.</li>
<li>Added a <a href="../qtquickcontrols/qml-qtquick-controls-treeview.html">TreeView</a> control for <a href="../qtcore/qabstractitemmodel.html">QAbstractItemModel</a>-derived models. Supports <a href="../qtcore/qitemselectionmodel.html">QItemSelectionModel</a> selection.</li>
