General Improvements
--------------------

- Legal
    * This version introduces the GPL version 3 as an alternative
      license for the Open Source Edition of Qt, in addition to the
      existing licenses.
    * Updated the GPL Exception to version 1.2, which grants additional
      rights to developers using the LGPL version 3.0 and other licenses
      for their software.

- Configuration/Compilation
    * [102113, 151125] Make it possible to use Qt headers with MSVC's
      warning level 4.
    * [129841] Make Qt compile with Intel C++ 9.0 and Intel C++ 10 compilers
      on Windows.
    * [168868] Add experimental support for the Blackfin processor.
    * [188167] Fixed a bug in the solaris-cc mkspec that would cause
      it to always use RPATH, even when configured with -no-rpath.
    * [176029] Added qmalloc.cpp with qMalloc() and qFree() implementation
      to make it easier to replace the default container allocators with
      custom allocators (by providing your own qmalloc.o(bj) file).
    * Enable -reduce-exports automatically on linux-icc* mkspecs when
      using version 10.1 of the Intel C++ Compiler for Linux.
    * Add experimental support for the AVR32 processor.
    * Allow building Qt with -release and the Intel C++ Compiler for
      Linux. This required working around several compiler bugs by
      turning optimizations off for certain modules. See the compiler
      notes for more details.
    * Add support for MSVC 2008, and add separate mkspecs for MSVC 2002 &
      2003.
    * [189185] Avoid quoting the the include and library paths for iconv.

- Documentation and Examples
    * The Qt Designer Manual was updated to include new Qt Designer features.
    * QtScript module overview was updated with more examples and reference
      material.
    * [161404] The 40000 Chips demo no longer shifts when clicking the OpenGL
      button.
    * [188676] Fixed text item moving in Diagram Scene example.
    * New demo: Embedded Dialogs
    * New demo: Browser
    * New example: Graphics View / Pad Navigator
    * New example: Item Views / Address Book
    * New example: WebKit / Previewer
    * New Example: XmlPatterns / Recipes
    * New tutorial: Address Book
    * Multiple bug fixes for the Torrent Client example.
    * Speed-ups in the Ported Asteroids Example.
    * [164223] All examples that use resources now include
      Q_INIT_RESOURCES to avoid breakage in static builds.

- Translations
    * Added a Traditional Chinese translation of the Qt and tools courtesy
      of Franklin.
    * Added a Spanish translation of Qt courtesy of Enrique Matias Sanchez.

- Signals and slots
    * [147681] Added support for 'long long' and 'unsigned long long'
      in queued connections.
    * [125987] Optimized QMetaObject::activate(), the function that
      actually delivers signals to all connected slots.
    * [164558] Fixed a bug that caused queued signals to be delivered out
      of order (not in the order they are emitted).
    * [169554] Added Q_EMIT, to correspond to Q_SIGNAL and Q_SLOT.

- Multithreaded painting
    * [66358, 142031] Added support for painting on QImage, QPicture,
      and QPrinter in multiple threads. See the Multithreaded
      Programming documentation for more details on supported features
      and known limitations.

- Embedded QWidget support for Graphics View
    * [177204] Added support for using layouts, styles, palettes and fonts,
      as well as embedding QWidgets into a QGraphicsScene.

- XML support in QtCore
    * The QXmlStreamReader, QXmlStreamWriter and supporting classes
      have moved from the QtXml module to the QtCore module. This change is
      both source- and binary-compatible with previous versions. New
      applications can opt to not link to QtXml when using these classes.

- Printing
      Made a number of improvements to printing in Qt 4.4, including
      support for setting custom page sizes and custom margins as well as
      the ability to programatically enumerate printers via the new
      QPrinterInfo class. A couple of new classes, QPrintPreviewWidget
      and QPrintPreviewDialog, have been added to make it easy to add a
      print preview to an application. The QPrintDialog and QPageSetupDialog
      for X11 have been redesigned and are hopefully easier to use.

New features
------------

- XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 support provided through the new QtXmlPatterns
  module.

- Qt Help module for embedding documentation into applications.

- QSystemSemaphore provides a general counting system semaphore.

- QSharedMemory provides access to a shared memory segment between multiple
  threads and processes.

- QLocalServer class provides a local socket-based server with a matching
  new QLocalSocket class.

- QFileSystemModel provides a data model for the local file system. Unlike
  QDirModel, QFileSystemModel will fetch directory listings in a background
  thread to prevent any locking in the GUI. QFileSystemModel is also much
  faster and has a few more features then QDirModel.

- QCommandLinkButton to support Vista style command links on all platforms.

- QFormLayout provides a layout designed for convenient form creation with
  the appropriate appearance on different platforms. This class previously
  appeared in Qtopia/4.3, but has been integrated into Qt.

- QtConcurrent provides a high level multi-threading API.

- QPlainTextEdit provides a highly scalable plain text editor. It uses
  similar technology and concepts as QTextEdit, but is optimized for plain
  text handling; e.g. as a log viewer.

- QTextBoundaryFinder is a new class implementing the Unicode text
  boundaries specification.


Third party components
----------------------

- Updated Qt's SQLite version to 3.5.4.

- Updated Qt's libpng version to 1.2.25.

- Added CLucene version 0.9.17.

- Added WebKit (see the src/3rdparty/webkit/VERSION file for the version).

- Added Phonon version 4.1.

      CoreGraphics engine is used. This makes aliased text, or text with
      a small point size, look much better.
    * [188102] For Indexed image, fixed setColor() to expand the
      colortable if necessary. Made colortable manipulation more robust.

****************************************************************************
*                   Important Behavior Changes                             *
****************************************************************************

- Event filters

        The behavior of event filters has changed starting with
        4.4. Previously, thread affinity was ignored when adding,
        removing, and activating an object's event filters. Now, event
        filters must have the same thread affinity as the object they
        are filtering. Qt will warn when it detects a filter that is
        in a different thread from the object being filtered.

- QFont
        Starting with Qt 4.4, the '-' characters in the raw font names
        are no longer substituted with a ' ' (space character). This
        may impact your application if you use fonts that have '-'
        characters in their raw font names.

- QReadWriteLock
        Starting with Qt 4.4, recursive lock support is disabled by
        default in QReadWriteLock. Code that relies on recursive write
        locking will need to be changed to construct the
        QReadWriteLock with recursive lock support enabled. Previously,
        recursive write-lock support (introduced in 4.3) was enabled by
        default, but QReadWriteLock did not properly support recursive
        read-lock support. QReadWriteLock now supports both and needs to
        be constructed explicitly with recurive lock support enabled
        (QMutex works in the same way).

- QPainterPath
        We have changed QPainterPath::angleAtPercent() to use the same
        angle definition as in the rest of Qt. This means that the angle
        returned will be from 0 to but not including 360, specifying
        the degrees from the 3 o'clock position in the counter-clockwise
        direction.

- QDirectPainter [Qt for Embedded Linux-specific class]
        startPainting() in Qt 4.3 had a default parameter lock=false,
        the value of which was not used. The function would lock for
        client processes, but not for the server process. From Qt 4.4,
        the default value is changed to true, and startPainting() will
        lock if lock == true, and not lock if lock == false. This means
        that client processes running code that has not been recompiled
        with Qt 4.4 may show flicker and/or painting problems. To get
        exactly the same behaviour as for Qt 4.3, change startPainting()
        to startPainting(QApplication::type() == QApplication::GuiClient).

- QPrinter
        QPrinter::pageRect() did not return consistent values on
        Linux/Mac/Windows when QPrinter::fullPage() was set to true. On
        Mac and Windows pageRect() was not influenced by the fullPage()
        setting. This has now been changed so that pageRect() returns
        the same as paperRect() when fullPage() is true on all
        platforms.

- QPixmap
        Using QPixmap outside of the GUI thread is dangerous and error
        prone. Because of this, starting with 4.4, any QPixmap created
        outside of the GUI thread will always be a null pixmap.

- QDateTime
        When using QDateTime::fromString() to parse dates, QDateTime
        no longer tries to use English month names because that would
        cause some dates to become unparseable. If you need to parse
        date times in the English locale, use QLocale::toDateTime (in
        specific, the QLocale::c() locale).

- Qt/Mac
        Starting a Qt application no longer makes it the front process. This is
        more in-line with other applications on Mac OS X. What this means is
        that you can start a Qt application, do something else and not have the
        Qt application steal your focus. If you desire for the Qt application
        to become the front process, you can call QWidget::raise()
        programmatically or launch the application with open(1) or using
        QDesktopServices.  This should not have any affect if launched from
        double-clicking in Finder or run in a debugger.

- Qt/X11 on MIPS Linux
        qreal is changed from float to double, breaking binary compatibility.
        This change fixes a bug introduced in Qt 4.3.0 when qreal was
        changed from double to float for embedded MIPS processors.
