qt.labs.handlers not found - qt

I am trying to use qml handlers for the first time.
import Qt.labs.handlers 1.0 is not working
My Qt version is 5.13.0 MingW32/64 . Using on windows 10.
snapshot 1 of error
snapshot of qt.labs identified modules

As the docs points out:
In Qt 5.10, these handlers were introduced in a separate
Qt.labs.handlers module. Now they are included with Qt Quick since
5.12. The pre-existing Keys attached property is similar in concept, so we refer to the pointing-device-oriented handlers plus Keys
together as the set of Input Handlers. We expect to offer more
attached-property use cases in future versions of Qt.
(emphasis mine)
So in Qt 5.13 it is no longer necessary to import module Qt.labs.handlers 1.0 since it has been moved to module QtQuick 2.13.

Symfony: Profiler sees twig deprecations, but cannot find where they come from

I'm trying to upgrade a Symfony instance from 2.8 to 3.0, and, while I was checking the deprecations in profiler, I found:
The Twig\Template class implements Twig_TemplateInterface that is deprecated since 1.12 (to be removed in 3.0) (2 times)
The Twig\Lexer class implements Twig_LexerInterface that is deprecated since 1.12 (to be removed in 3.0)
The Twig\Compiler class implements Twig_CompilerInterface that is deprecated since 1.12 (to be removed in 3.0)
The Twig\Node\Node class implements Twig_NodeInterface that is deprecated since 1.12 (to be removed in 3.0)
The Twig\Parser class implements Twig_ParserInterface that is deprecated since 1.12 (to be removed in 3.0)
My Twig version is 1.42.4
Just to confirm: we agree this is deprecation messages from twig itself, telling it will remove those functions in its own 3.0 version ? I mean: it's not Symfony telling it will not support this anymore in its 3.0.0 ?
I also suppose upgrading Twig will not help on this. It is the the responsible for those calls I guess ;)
After confirming the above basics, how can I locate the bundle which uses those deprecated functions, because I suppose THIS is the package I need to upgrade first (I'm pretty sure the problem is not in my own code...) ?
The message does not give so many details, and... the stack is just unclear to me...
DebugClassLoader::loadClass()
spl_autoload_call()
class_exists() (called from Template.php at line 5)
require() (called from DebugClassLoader.php at line 169)
DebugClassLoader::loadClass()
spl_autoload_call()
ReflectionClass::__construct() (called from ClassCollectionLoader.php at line 307)
ClassCollectionLoader::getOrderedClasses() (called from ClassCollectionLoader.php at line 120)
ClassCollectionLoader::load() (called from Kernel.php at line 405)
Kernel::doLoadClassCache() (called from Kernel.php at line 124)
Kernel::boot() (called from Kernel.php at line 180)
Kernel::handle() (called from app_dev.php at line 28)
Maybe that can help to answer: I noticed the deprecation warnings appear ONLY when I load a page for the first time, or when I just deleted the cache... So, it's something generating the Symfony cache, which is calling deprecated features...
At last, but not least, I tried to upgrade Twig from 1.x to 2.x, knowing Symfony composer tells "twig/twig": "^1.0||^2.0". I first though it would go to 2.x, but it just upgraded it to the lmatest 1.x (1.42.4), my current version... Composer message was not clear about what was reponsible of the fact it did not go higher...
IF I understood well, those deprecation warnings are not about Symfony upgrade itself, so I 'could eventually go for it. I have something in my instance, that uses old Twig functions, so I would like to get rid of it...
BONUS question: sometimes, I wonder... it's so complicated to fight with all those version constraints... Wouldn't it be more simple just to use generic composer.json, provided with the symfony version we are trying to reach, instead of editing the one we get for years, in our old version ? At least, I guess all libraries would be updated at versions tested by developpers ?
Thanks for helping, and happy new year ;)
In short, sometimes deprecations are reported for vendor code that you can't really change. This is the case. It's useless for you.
It will go away eventually, once you upgrade to higher Symfony/Twig.

Can QML caching in Qt 5.8 be disabled for a particular project?

Qt 5.8 was supposed to come with the optional use ahead of time qtquick compiler, instead it arrived with a sort-of-a-jit-compiler, a feature that's enabled by default and caches compiled QML files on disk in order to improve startup performance and reduce memory usage.
The feature however arrives with serious bugs which greatly diminish, or in my case even completely negate its benefits, as I didn't have a problem with startup times to begin with, and testing didn't reveal any memory usage improvements whatsoever.
So what I would like to do is opt out of that feature in my project, but I don't seem to find how to do that. Going back to Qt 5.7.1 is not an option since my project relies on other new features, introduced with 5.8.
Add QML_DISABLE_DISK_CACHE (set to 1) to your environment variables. You should be able to do it inside your application via qputenv -- put it somewhere in main before loading QML content.
Credit to peppe for informing us of the environment variable, but qputenv()only takes a QByteArray as the value parameter, so 1 won't work.
The two options that work:
qputenv("QML_DISABLE_DISK_CACHE", "1"); // or
qputenv("QML_DISABLE_DISK_CACHE", "true");
This successful disables the cache and prevents the associated bugs from manifesting.

FXMLLoader template flag

Looking at FXMLLoader#load, a "template flag" is mentioned - yet I see no explanation of how to set this flag. Presumably there should be a FXMLLoader#setTemplate, but no such method exists in the linked JavaDoc, and using the latest 1.8 OpenJDK (build 1.8.0_72-internal-b05) I can't see such method either.
So what is this flag, and how do I set it?
There was some discussion on the JavaFX developer list about creating this flag in order to generate a better-performing mode for loading FXML files for certain use cases. It seems this idea was not included in the final release of JavaFX 8.0, but clearly the API documentation didn't fully reflect that decision.
So the actual answer to your question is that the API documentation is wrong: there is no such flag.

Flex Sub-Apps and MarhsallingSupport missing in 3.x SDK's

I'm looking at using Sub-Applications within flex, to enable mutli-versioned compilation.
Specifically, I'm looking to have a Flex 4.x host app that loads Flex 3.6 sub-apps.
The docs state this is possible (and the purpose of sub-apps). However they specify this:
When compiling each of these types of applications, you should include
the MarshallingSupport class into the main application and
sub-applications. You do this with the includes compiler argument, as
the following example shows:
-includes=mx.managers.systemClasses.MarshallingSupport
However, from what I can tell, MarhsallingSupport wasn't included until the 4.x releases.
Looking at the mx.managers.systemClasses package for 3.5.0.12683 and 3.4.1.10084 shows no reference of MarshallingSupport (see svn here and here)
This is also true for 3.6a (download of SDK available, but can't find the source).
Am I missing something? How am I supposed to include this class in the 3.x sub-apps, when it's not available?
see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/enterpriseplatform/10.0/AEPDeveloperGuide/WS8cbf8723eeed7311-4cca458e1328d74a115-7fff.html
Like module bundles, there are no special compilation requirements. You can build the
application bundle SWF in any way that is convenient. Note, however,
that application bundles must include marshalling support.
This is automatic with Flex 3, but with Flex 4 you must force the inclusion
of the MarshallingSupport class in your SWF.
For Flex 4 this can be
done by referencing the MarshallingSupport class in your application
code (as in the previous example). You can also explicitly force
inclusion of the MarshallingSupport class on the mxmlc command line
using the following option:
-includes+=mx.managers.systemClasses.MarshallingSupport

JDK, JRE an JARs compatibility

I know a bit about JDK and JRE source and binary compatibility (e.g. this and this), but not sure about the following situation:
Consider I have an application which is compiled using JDK5 and runs on JRE6. It uses some libraries (jars) which are also compiled using JDK5.
Now I want to compile my application using JDK6. What new problems could arise in runtime in such a case (particularly, in compatibility with the "old" jars)? Should I fully retest the application (touch every library) or can rely on promised JDK/JRE compatibility?
Normally no problems should arise if you set the compiler option of JDK6 to use 1.5 source compatibility. However sometimes this is not always true.
I remember once when compiling 1.4 code with 1.5 compiler (using 1.4 compatibility). The jars where ok (1.4 binary level) but the application crashed due to a funny conversion.
We used a BigDecimal number passing an integer as argument to the constructor. The 1.4 version had only a constructor from double but the 1.5 version had both, the int and the double constructors. So when compiling with 1.4 compiler made the automatic conversion from int to double, but with the 1.5 compiler it checked that the int constructor existed and did not realize that conversion. Then when using the perfect binary compatible code on 1.4 JRE the program crashed with a NoSuchMethodException.
I have to admit that it was a strange case, but it is one of those cases where logic does not work. So my advice is if you plan to compile for older versions of JRE try to use the target version JDK whenever possible.
Untill and unless you have not changed your code and added new Java 6 features, there should be no issues.
With regards to other jars there should be no issues at all.
JDK always maintains backward compatibility.
Compatibility mostly works. I would not expect any issue for you to arise aside from various warnings for e.g. not using generics. Maybe some barely used APIs were deprecated, but I assume they were left in place, just marked as deprecated.
Just try it, if it compiles you should be fine.
A key design aspect of Java - unfortunately - is full backwards compatibility.
There are very few exceptions where backwards compatibility was not preserved; most prominently Eclipse suffered when the sorting algorithm was changed from a stable to a non-stable sort algorithm (the order of objects that sort identically was no longer preserved); but that was never part of the Java specification, but a bug in Eclipse.
It's unfortunate, because there were a few poor choices that now cannot be changed. Iterator should not have had a remove() function in the API, Vector should not have been synchronized (solved by having ArrayList now), StringBuffer should not have been synchronized, hence StringBuilder. String should probably have been an interface, not a class, to allow for e.g. 8-bit strings, 32-bit strings - CharSequence is the better string interface, but too many methods do not accept CharSequence and require returning a String. Observable should be an interface too: you cannot make a subclass observable with this API. To name a few. But because of backwards compatibility, these cannot be fixed anymore until maybe JDK modularization (at which point some can at least disappear into an donotuse module ...).
Of course you should already have thousands of unit tests to help you test with the new JDK... :-)
