What's New in 1.8

Qt Quick Ultralite maintains source compatibility between minor releases. However, some changes may require you to adapt the application code accordingly. The following sections highlight such changes:

New features

  • Added API to drive main loop from application code
  • Added QtQuick Ultralite Shapes API for vector graphics, with implementation for NXP's i.MX RT1170.
  • Added support for Renesas EK-RA6M3G Evaluation Kit. Use the QUL_PLATFORM=EK-RA6M3G-baremetal CMake option to configure your project for this platform.
  • Added IAR compiler toolchain support for i.MX RT1170.
  • Added support for building Qt Quick Ultralite as a static library to enable integrating with an existing project.
  • Added RGB332 pixel format to support 8-bit images.
  • Added the QUL_GLYPHS_COPY_TO_RAM and QUL_FONT_FILES_COPY_TO_RAM CMake target properties to configure glyph and font file run-time storage.

Fixed issues

  • Removed the refreshInterval variable on i.MX RT1170 to avoid compilation failure using the IAR toolchain.
  • Removed expiry time for Renesas RH850-D1M1A binaries built using Green Hills.
  • Refactored input event handling, separating the event filtering and acceptance logic.
  • Documented the FreeRTOS directory name changes between the NXP SDK versions.
  • Fixed flickering on STM32H750B-Disco.
  • Changed example kit extension in the shipped packages.
  • Added the fallback renderer as default for the blendImage function on STM32.
  • Fixed issue where the Monotype Spark font engine integration was bypassing glyph cache and therfore would affect run-time performance.

Other changes

  • Fixed the version number in the kit description files for the armgcc and greenhills toolchains.
