One of the new modules that will be officially available with Qt 5.1.0 is QtSerialPort, a way to have support for serial ports such as those that follow the RS-232 standard. As described previously in my post, serial port modules for Qt have existed for some time (QExtSerialPort likely the most known of them) however none of them were officially part of Qt.
Although QtSerialPort supports Qt versions 4 and 5, with versions of Qt prior to 5.1.0 you need to get the source code separately from gitorious.org. All the Qt deskptop platforms are supported now, with some other OSs available as well with partial support (i.e. Windows CE and Symbian) but not expect active support for them in the future.
Please find a very detailed introduction to this new module in this ICS blog post. Happy serial connections!
