Qt 3.2 introduces new features as well as many improvements over the
3.1.x series. This file gives an overview of the main changes since
version 3.1.2. For more details, see the online documentation which
is included in this distribution. The documentation is also available
at http://qt.nokia.com/doc/
The Qt version 3.2 series is binary compatible with the 3.1.x series.
Applications compiled for 3.1 will continue to run with 3.2.

* General *
****************************************************************************
ActiveQt
--------
Controls developed with ActiveQt support aggregation, which makes it
possible to use them in containers that require this form of containment to
be supported. ActiveQt also supports masked controls in containers that
support this for window'ed controls.
Compilers
---------
Note: Qt 3.2 is the last version to officially support IRIX MIPSpro
o32 and Sun CC 5.0. A script, $QTDIR/bin/qt32castcompat, is provided
for 3.2 which needs to be run for these compilers.
