|
66 * add QContactManager(QObject* parent) ctor |
|
67 * deprecate filterSupported(), add isFilterSupported() |
|
68 * deprecate synthesizeDisplayLabel(), add synthesizedDisplayLabel() |
|
69 * managerFeature - enums as powers of two (deprecation strategy?) |
|
70 * deprecate implementationVersion(), add managerVersion() |
|
71 * deprecate splitUri(), add parseUri() |
|
72 * deprecate contacts() functions, replace with contactIds() functions |
|
73 * add new contacts() functions which return QList<QContact> and can be limited to particular details |
|
74 - add a restrictToDefinitions/Fields parameter in contacts() and contact() |
|
75 * deprecate old batch saveContacts() and removeContacts() functions, replace with new ones |
|
76 - return bool, and take new param: map of int (input list index) to error which occurred for the item at that index |
|
77 - consistent with async request changes, clearer, and more consistent with single save/remove functions too. |
|
78 |
|
79 - QContactManagerEngine |
|
80 * deprecated request-related functions in QCME, replaced with better/cleaner ones |
|
81 - deprecated updateRequest() functions in QCME, replaced with: |
|
82 . updateContactFetchRequest() |
|
83 . updateContactSaveRequest() |
|
84 . updateContactRemoveRequest() |
|
85 . updateContactLocalIdFetchRequest() |
|

|
90 . updateRelationshipFetchRequest() |
|
91 . updateRelationshipRemoveRequest() |
|
92 - deprecated updateRequestStatus() and replace with a new updateRequestState() function. |
|
93 - state and results are now updated separately and a distinct signal is emitted for each. |
|
94 |
|
95 - QContactDetail |
|
96 * deprecate values(), add variantValues() |
|
97 * access constraints now in detail instead of definition (set by backend on a per-detail basis) |
|
98 - possible constraints are now: ReadOnly, Irremovable, NoConstraint. Deprecated CreateOnly constraint. |
|
99 |
|
100 - QContactDetailDefinition |
|
101 * deprecate fields() returning nonconst reference. (To be removed after transition period has elapsed). |
|
102 * Rename QContactDetailDefinitionField class to QContactDetailFieldDefinition (deprecated via typedef). |
|
103 |
|
104 - QContactAction |
|
105 * deprecate metadata(), add metaData() |
|
106 |
|
107 - QContactDetails |
|
108 * Deprecate QContactGeolocation, add QContactGeoLocation |
|

|
111 |
|
112 - QContactAbstractRequest and leaf classes |
|
113 * QContactDetailDefinitionFetchRequest: deprecated names()/setNames, add definitionNames()/setDefinitionNames() |
|
114 * Deprecate Status enum, add State enum (values suffixed by State; eg, ActiveState) |
|
115 * deprecate status(), add state() |
|
116 * deprecate waitForProgress() -- to be removed (unnecessary API). |
|
117 * add stateChanged() signal to base class |
|
118 * deprecate progress() signal, add resultsAvailable() signal to base class |
|
119 - note that resultsAvailable() signal does not contain a ptr to self - use sender() instead. |
|
120 - state and results are now updated separately in the backend, with distinct signal emitted for each. |
|
121 * QContact*RemoveRequest -> take a list of items as input arguments, instead of a filter / filtering values. |
|
122 - allows detailed error reporting for remove requests, and is more intuitive / simpler API. |
|
123 - current selection criteria functions in RemoveRequests have been deprecated. |
|
124 - this change affects QContactRemoveRequest, QContactDetailDefinitionRemoveRequest and QContactRelationshipRemoveRequest. |
|
125 * deprecated errors() function from base QContactAbstractRequest class |
|
126 * added errorMap() function to various leaf classes where that class' selection input is a list of items |
|
127 - errorMap() returns a map of input list index to an error which occurred for the item at that index. |
|
128 - SamplePhonebook |
|
129 * UI layout refactored to fit small screen better |
|
130 |
|
131 QtLocation |
|
132 ------ |
|
133 |
|
134 - foo |
|
135 * bar |
|
136 |
|
137 QtMessaging |
|
138 ------ |
|
139 |
|
140 - Wrap QMessageStore with QMessageManager. |
|
141 * In order to provide a consistent interface with other components |
|
142 of QtMobility that provide a central data manager interface, the |
|
143 existing QMessageStore interface is now private, and replaced in |
|
144 the public interface by the QMessageManager class. |
|
145 |
|
146 The new class provides exactly the same interface as the old class |
|
147 except that it is instantiated as a handle rather than accessed as |
|
148 a singleton. Internally the handle object can be instantiated as |
|
149 needed, but in documentation or examples the class should be treated |
|
150 as if it were potentially expensive to create and destroy; this will |
|
151 give a consistent form of use for all Q{x}Manager classes between |
|
152 the various QtMobility projects. |
|
153 |
|
154 The old QMessageStore class is still used internally by the |
|
155 QMessageManager, so the latter class need not be reimplemented for |
|
156 multiple platforms. |
|
157 |
|
158 - Rename Q{X}Ordering to Q{X}SortOrder. |
|
159 * For increased consistency between QtMobility APIs. |
|
160 |
|
161 - Support ordering via a list of SortOrder objects. |
|
162 * For consistency with other QtMobility APIs, allow a composite ordering |
|
163 to be specified using a list of Q{X}SortOrder objects rather than |
|
164 requiring the objects to be accumulated via the + operator. |
|
165 |
|
166 - Rename QMessageDataComparator::Options to MatchFlags. |
|
167 |
|
168 - Rename QMessageServiceAction to QMessageService. |
|
169 * The term 'action' is already used with conflicting meanings; |
|
170 it can represnt a user-input (QAction), or a facility provided |
|
171 by a service provider which is exposed to the user (as in |
|
172 QContactAction). |
|
173 |
|
174 QMessageService provides a proxy, dispatcher or broker |
|
175 facility, but adding any of these terms to the class name has |
|
176 been judged as not constituting an improvement to readability. |
|
177 |
|
178 - Return int from size() functions. |
|
179 * Consistent with standard Qt practice. |
|
180 |
|
181 - Rename write{Text}ContentTo to write{Text}Content. |
|
182 * For improved consistentcy with Qt naming. |
|
183 |
|
184 - Rename QMessageManager::ErrorCode to QMessageManager::Error. |
|
185 * For improved consistency with Qt naming. |
|
186 |
|
187 - Reorder the parameters for QMessageAddress(Type, Address). |
|
188 * There is a logical dependency of address on type. |
|
189 |
|
190 - API improvements to QMessageService. |
|
191 * Use the same State enum values as used by the QtMobility Contacts |
|
192 API, and provide the same stateChanged() signal signature. |
|
193 |
|
194 Rename cancelOperation() to cancel() for consistency with Qt. |
|
195 |
|
196 - Rename QMessageStore:: and QMessageManager::lastError() to error(). |
|
197 * This is the more common form in Qt, and in line with the equivalent |
|
198 Contacts interface name. |
|
199 |
|
200 - Rename QMessageFolder::displayName() to name(). |
|
201 * DisplayName should be used where the name used for display purposes |
|
202 differs from the fundamental name property. |
|
203 |
|
204 - Symbian specific fixes |
|
205 * Added correct Symbian UID to Messaging DLL |
|
206 * Corrected exporting of public headers (to /epoc32/include/) |
|
207 * Changed DLL capability to: ALL -TCB (was previously: ALL -TCB -AllFiles -DRM) |
|
208 * Fixed "." (application private) folder support (attachments) |
|
209 Now all auto tests can use "." folder for test files |
|
210 * Fixed auto tests to use "." folder (just like in other backends) |
|
211 * Fixed file type recognition bug (.png files) |
|
212 * Fixed bug: Messaging queries list unknown (for example bluetooth) |
|
213 messages from Inbox |
|
214 * Nested filters support for account, folder & message filters finalized, all auto tests pass |
|
215 * MIME type handling related bugs fixed |
|
216 * Character set handling bugs fixes |
|
217 * Default account bug fixed |
|
218 * Message attachment memory usage optimized |
|
219 * Standard folder support for emails improved (Inbox filtering) |
|
220 * Message size calculation accuracy improved |
|
221 * CEikonEnv usages removed (relations to Symbian UI Framework) |
|
222 * message type handling improved (if message type is not defined, message type is retrieved from parentAccount) |
|
223 Related to bug that prevented MMS message sending from MessagingEx |
|
224 (Note: MMS message sending in writemessage example worked) |
|
225 * MMS Message content retrieval bug fixed (related to QByteArray QMessageContentContainer::content() const; bug) |
|
226 |
|
227 |
|

|
229 ------ |
|
230 |
|

|
251 periods in media items. |
|
252 - QMediaPlayerControl |
|
253 * Renamed seekRanges() to availablePlaybackRanges(). This method now |
|
254 returns a QMediaTimeRange, which can contain multiple disjoint time |
|
255 intervals representing buffered portions of media. |
|

370 Qt Mobility for Symbian |
|
371 ------ |
|
372 |
|
373 - QContactManager backends |
|
374 * QContactAvatar: Added support for pixmap field and VideoRingtone subtype. For pixmap field there is a known issue that it is not always shown in the name list view of S60 platform Phonebook. |
|
375 * The display label now uses the same formatting rules as the platform phonebook application, except that "unnamed" contact label is not localised. |
|
376 * When filtering with QContactDisplayLabel and match flag MatchStartsWith is set the filtering rules follow the platform Phonebook's name list view filtering rules. |
|
377 * When filtering with a phone number detail and match flags MatchPhoneNumber is set the filtering rules follow the platform Phonebook's phone number matching rules. Known issue: the matched phone number needs to be at least 7 digits. |
|
378 * Contact filtering: added support for intersection and union filters. This improves performance in those cases where the contained filters give only a sub-set of the contacts. |
|
379 * Fixed a bug where modifying the details of a self-contact failed. |
|
380 * Added an experimental support for SIM ADN contacts with QContactManager implementation named "symbiansim". |
|
381 * Several bug fixes to contact relationships. |
|
382 * Fixed the error handling when a client tries to update the contact type. This is not supported. |
|
383 * Bugfix: Saving and deleting contacts in quick successive manner caused the contact database server to fail on S60 3.2 devices. |
|
384 * Bugfix [QTMOBILITY-54]: Loading a QContact for a contact database contact with an undefined field type caused a crash. |
|
385 |
|
386 - Installpath for Symbian headers changed |
|
387 * Contacts and Versit installed to EPOCROOT/include/app |
|
388 * All other API headers installed to EPOCROOT/include/mw |

|
394 - Radio support (needs sim-card when testing) |
|
395 * listen radio |
|
396 * search channels / frequency |
|
397 * change volume |
|
398 - Mediaplayer |
|
399 * play local files |
|
400 * play local video |
|
401 * play stream e.g. from youtube working |
|
402 * retrieve metadata ( following tags supported: title, artist, comment, genre, ye ar, copyright, album, composer, albumtrack, audiobitrate, videobitrate, duration, content type) |
|
403 * read extended metadata supported |
|
404 * writing metada to file not supported by S60 |
|
405 * codec support depends on device model |
|
406 * AudioDeviceControl not implemented for mediaplayer, defaults to device default. |
|
407 - Camera |
|
408 * camera support is expiremental |
|
409 * still capture |
|
410 * mediacapture |
|
