 - The usage of macros from CPython (limited API) has been reduced in favor
   of calling functions directly.

                  and translated code snippets. Enum values automatically
                  converted to "None_" are also correctly documented.
 - [PYSIDE-2714]  Qt Creator 17.x+ and PySide tools now support projects that
                  have a pyproject.toml instead of a *.pyproject
 - [PYSIDE-2846]  The type annotation of the Slot() decorator has been fixed.
 - [PYSIDE-2966]  A bug making it possible to instantiate non-constructible
                  classes and namespaces has been fixed.
 - [PYSIDE-2891]  A bug in signature handling affecting 32bit builds
                  has been fixed.
 - [PYSIDE-2958]  Building against unsupported python versions has been
                  enabled.
 - [PYSIDE-2997]  Type hints: The signature of QMessageBox.information()
                  has been fixed.
 - [PYSIDE-3001]  QtAsyncio: The error messages printed on an exceptions
                  in tasks have been improved.
 - [PYSIDE-3002]  QPaintEngine's virtual functions taking a
                  C-style array of geometry primitives have been fixed.
 - [PYSIDE-3003]  Type hints: A bug causing overloads to be omitted has
                  been fixed.
 - [PYSIDE-3004]  A crash in slots when receiving an object-type parameter
                  passed by const-ref has been fixed.
 - [PYSIDE-3005]  A bug affecting
                  QOpenGLShaderProgram.setUniformValueArray(int,float*,int,int)
                  has been fixed.
 - [PYSIDE-3012]  Type hints: Since using Callable, Iterable and Sequence from
                  typing is deprecated, they are imported from collections.abc.
 - [PYSIDE-3012]  Type hints: Object inheritance has been removed from classes.
 - [PYSIDE-3013]  QFont.Tag(str), QFont.Tag.fromString(), QFont.Tag.fromValue()
                  have been added.
 - [PYSIDE-3014]  QAbstractSpinBox.fixup() has been fixed.

                  filters has been changed to "qintptr" for Qt 6.
 - [QTBUG-108199] PySide has been adapted to the deprecation of Qt::TimeSpec
                  in Qt.

 - Helper class AutoArrayPointer has been renamed to ArrayPointer. A
   convenience typedef is provided.
 - It is now possible to use file snippets for XML template content.
 - Warnings about rejected functions/fields have been removed or redirected
   to log files to reduce clutter.
 - An additional log file, mjb_shiboken.log has been introduced which
   contains informational messages about the types encountered.
 - [PYSIDE-454]   It is now possible to exclude smart pointer instantiations
                  from underlying base modules to prevent symbol clashes.
 - [PYSIDE-2701]  The size of the generated modules has been reduced by
                  applying several optimizations to the code generated for
                  virtual functions.
 - [PYSIDE-2701]  Function modifications are now correctly inherited also in
                  case of multiple inheritance.

                  injected documentation snippets.
 - [PYSIDE-3004]  The detection of copy constructibility of value type
                  classes has been improved using functionality from Clang.
                  New typesystem attributes have been introduced to enable
                  overriding the detection.
 - [PYSIDE-3004]  The handling of move only value types has been improved.
 - [PYSIDE-3004]  A documentation page about value versus objects has been

                  about object types that could be value types.
 - [QTBUG-133704] It is now possible to specify in the type system whether
                  Qt meta type registration code should be generated for enums.
