Bumping QML Module Versions: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:17, 8 March 2018

This page documents the process for bumping a QML module in Qt, using Qt Quick Controls 2 as an example.

MODULE_VERSION determines the module version used by "make qmltypes" (which runs qmlplugindump, a tool used to create plugins.qmltypes).

qmldir files are explained here. In the case of Qt Quick Controls 2, it has a dependency to Qt Quick Templates, hence why it must be bumped.

This patch bumps all three at once:

For example:

For example:

Qt's version is bumped by increasing MODULE_VERSION in qtbase/.qmake.conf:

QT_VERSION is then deduced from that:

After that, the Qt version bump in qtbase will need to integrate to qt5.git. For example, in the case of the commit above, that was done here:

Once all of that has happened, any imports of a module whose version follows the Qt version (such as QtQuick) can be bumped:
