PySide now uses multi-phase Python extension module initialization for the
non-deployed case. For scripting appplications, this implies that it is no
longer sufficient to call the Init() function of a module to load the module
in order to be able to access its type structs for binding variables.
Instead, PyImport_ImportModule() must be used (see scriptable application
example).

 - [PYSIDE-1735] @QEnum, @QFlag and QMetaEnum now support unsigned 64 bit
                 values for QML usage (with the exception of Qt Widgets
                 Designer), following the support added to Qt.
 - [PYSIDE-2840] It is now possible to use @QEnum/@QFlag-decorated
                 enumerations as properties of custom widgets in Qt Widgets
                 Designer.
 - [PYSIDE-2916] The invocation of functions overridden in Python
                 has been optimized for speed.
 - [PYSIDE-3012] type hints: The annotations of QPropertyAnimation
                 have been fixed.
 - [PYSIDE-3084] Enumerations are now stored as such instead of an opaque
                 PyObjectWrapper in functions returning QVariant.
 - [PYSIDE-3137] A warning occurring when doing the first signal connection
                 from a thread has been fixed.
 - [PYSIDE-3143] A bug causing events to be wrongly converted to
                 QStandardItem has been fixed. Also, a leak of QStandardItem
                 instances returned from QStandardItemModel functions
                 has been fixed.
 - [PYSIDE-3146] Deployment: Values generated into pysidedeploy.spec are
                 now sorted.
 - [PYSIDE-3147] Initial adaptations for the upcoming Python version 3.14
                 have been done.
 - [PYSIDE-3164] type hints: Enum values have been added to the stubs for
                 improved type checking.
 - [PYSIDE-3178] type hints: The return types of
                 QPoint(F)/QSize(F).toTuple have been fixed.
 - [QTBUG-110428] The QtExampleIcons module has been removed due to
                  the removal of the underlying library in Qt.

 - Template specializations like "std::optional<int>" can now be specified
   as primitive types with converter code.
 - [PYSIDE-2221] Multi-phase Python extension module initialization is now
                 used for the non-deployed case.
 - [PYSIDE-3011] It is now possible to inject code into the the wrapper
                 class declaration, which can be used to import base class
                 members via the "using" keyword.
 - [PYSIDE-3105] The support for cross compiling (using the correct target
                 for clang-based parsing) has been improved. Various options
                 have been added to shiboken to be able to specify target
                 platform and compiler.
 - [PYSIDE-2854] libshiboken: The internal map instances has been changed
                 to be a multimap to improve support for co-located objects.
 - [PYSIDE-3107] An automatic conversion from T to std::optional<T>
                 has been added (in case std::optional is specified in
                 the type system).
 - [PYSIDE-3138] A CMake package "Shiboken6Tools" has been introduced to make
                 integrating Shiboken with CMake easier. This significantly
                 reduces the amount of CMake code required by users,
                 replacing the previous method of calling the executable
                 directly with a Python script (`pyside_config.py`).
 - [PYSIDE-3171] libshiboken's replacement functions providing functions
                 missing from the limited API or appearing in future Python
                 versions have been moved from sbkpython.h (providing a
                 sanitized Python.h) to separate headers sbkpep.h and
                 sbkpepbuffer.h (providing buffer API). This should not
                 affect binding code as the generator includes the new
                 headers, but may require adaption in client code using
                 libshiboken/libpyside directly.
