# General * CMake and Qbs builds now fully support building with Qt6. * Qbs now prints the old properties set when refusing to build a project with changed properties. * Added convenience command to qbs-config to add a profile in one go instead of setting properties separately (QTCREATORBUG-25463). * Added profiling timer for module providers. # C/C++ Support * Added support for the COSMIC COLDFIRE (also known as M68K) compiler (QBS-1648). * Added support for the COSMIC HCS08 compiler (QBS-1641). * Added support for the COSMIC HCS12 compiler (QBS-1640). * Added support for the COSMIC STM8 compiler (QBS-1639). * Added support for the COSMIC STM32 compiler (QBS-1638). * Added support for the new Digital Mars toolchain (QBS-1636). * The new cpp.enableCxxLanguageMacro property was added for the MSVC toolchain that controls the /Zc:__cplusplus required for proper support of the new C++ standards (QBS-1655). * Added support for the "c++20" language version for the MSVC toolchain which results in adding the /std:c++latest flag (QBS-1656). # Qt Support * Consider "external" modules * Fix support for qml binaries that were moved to the libexec directory in Qt 6.2 (QBS-1636). # Android Support * Added option to use dex compiler d8 instead of dx. * Ministro support was removed. * Fix link with static stl on Android (QBS-1654) * The default Android Asset Packaging Tool was change from aapt to aapt2. # Apple Support * Qbs now uses embedded build specs from Xcode 12.4 when bundle.useXcodeBuildSpecs is true instead of older specs from Xcode 9.2. # Important Bug Fixes * Fix handling cpp.linkerWrapper with the MSVC toolchain (QBS-1653). # Infrastructure * Windows-only tests are moved to a separate tst_blackbox_windows binary. * Qbs was updated to 1.18.2 in Docker images as well as in GitHub actions jobs. * Added Qbs build and tests with the MinGW toolchain. * Added CMake build with Qt6 on Linux. # Contributors * Christian Kandeler * Denis Shienkov * Eike Ziller * Ivan Komissarov * Jan Blackquill * Mitch Curtis * Oswald Buddenhagen * Raphaƫl Cotty * Richard Weickelt
