The other two additional re-introducing modules from Qt 5 include:
Qt Application Manager: Used to create embedded Linux systems that have a highly complex UI setup. The main functional blocks of the application manager are Wayland Window Compositor, Application Launcher, User Input Management, Notifications, and Application Installation.
Qt Interface Framework (earlier called Qt IVI): this provides both the tools and the core APIs, for you to implement Middleware APIs, Middleware backends, and Middleware services. The module provides a flexible way to define new APIs via an Interface Definition Language (IDL) and generate classes for use, from C++ and QML.
