****************************************************************************
* Important Behavior Changes *
****************************************************************************
- [QTBUG-34345][QTBUG-26008][QTBUG-26430] QPrinter no longer allows you to
set an invalid printer name.
- [QTBUG-34141] Parsing of Qt::ISODate by QDate::fromString() and
QDateTime()::fromString() is not as lenient as before, the date
component separators are now required to be non-numeric. This means a
string like "2000901901" will no longer be recognized as a valid ISO
Date, but "2000/01/01" will still be even though it doesn't strictly
meet the ISO format of "2000-01-01".

U+2212.
