 CHANGES

+GA (04-02-2010)
+
+  Improvements:
+
+  - general: Switched the compiler to the GCC 4.4.2 build provided by Paul
+    Smeldey. This gives better standard conformance, better code optimization
+    and provides more compact DLLs and EXEs whose size is greater than ~1M.
+
+  - corelib: QSettings: Use IniFormat (plain INI files) when NativeFormat is
+    requested instead of the Open32 registry which is known to be unstable and
+    can be easily corrupted. The old behavior may be restored using the
+    QT_PM_REGISTRY environment variable.
+
+  - corelib: Use UniStrcoll for QString::localeAwareCompare() for locale-aware
+    comparison of NLS strings.
+
+  - gui: Implemented full Direct Manipulation (Drag And Drop) support. This
+    includes dragging text, URLs and files between PM and Qt applications,
+    dragging any MIME data across Qt applications, setting custom drag pointer
+    pixmaps, painting in widgets while dragging.
+
+  - gui: Implemented session management with the QSessionManager class.
+
+  - gui: Fully implemented the QDesktopServices class.
+
+  - gui: Added support for numpad keys and for some common multimedia keys
+    recognized by eCS (volume, home, search, favorites).
+
+  - gui: QCursor: Added missing cursor shapes and implemented support for custom
+    cursor shapes.
+
+  - gui: Implemented QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont()/removeApplicationFont()
+    and friends.
+
+  - gui: Implemented proper generation of possible key and modifier combinations
+    for a given key event. This in particular enables Ctrl+<letter> shortcuts
+    for non-Latin languages and also makes Ctrl+<letter>, Alt+<letter> and
+    similar shortcuts language-neutral.
+
+  - gui: QWidget: When setting the parent, take the parent's resolve masks to
+    make sure attributes imposed by the user on the parent won't be overriden
+    byv the natural palette for this widget if it differs from
+    QApplication::palette() [vendor bug].
+
+  - gui: Use a normal border for top-level Tool widgets since the thin one is
+    too thin and cannot be resized.
+
+  - gui: Implemented delivering of QEvent::NonClientAreaMouse* events to
+    top-level widgets. This enables undocked dock widgets to be docked back by
+    a double click on the title bar and also by moving over the dock areas.
+
+  - plugins: Enabled the sqlite3 plugin which makes the sql module (and
+    applications depending on it) actually usable.
+
+  - tools: Enabled the Qt Designer application.
+
+  - tools: Enabled the following toos: pixeltool, q3toq4, xmplatterns.
+
+  - qmake/os2-g++: Recognize the "map" option in the CONFIG variable that allows
+    to turn the generation of .map files on and off.
+
+  Fixes:
+
+  - corelib: Created wrappers for all Win* and Gpi* calls that restore the FPU
+    Control Word to what C/C++ programs expect. This fixes crashes in various
+    Qt applications (e.g. mp3diags) due to SIGFPE.
+
+  - corelib: QLibraryInfo: Fixed: qt.conf would not have been loaded if a
+    component path was requested before QCoreApplication instance creation.
+
+  - corelib: QLibraryInfo: Changed default "Settings" path to %ETC%/xdg.
+    Also use %ETC%/qtsys.conf as the system-wide qt.conf instead of
+    %ETC%/qt/qtsys.conf.
+
+  - corelib: QFSFileEngine: Fixed: On OS/2, trailing spaces in file names are
+    ignored ("readme " = "readme") but kLIBC doesn't handle this well so strip
+    them before passing to LIBC APIs.
+
+  - corelib: QFile::copy(): Use DosCopy() instead of read/write.
+
+  - corelib: Fixed: QProcess::startDetached() would either crash or fail to
+    start a process.
+
+  - gui: Fixed: Popups shown when another application is active were not
+    controllable with keyboard and didn't close on an outside mouse click.
+
+  - gui: Fixed: Visible title bar and frame of the top-level window after
+    switching to fullscreen.
+
+  - gui: Fixed: Wrong widget-relative mouse position in mouse events. This fixes
+    problems with dragging widget splitters (separators) in applications using
+    dock widgets.
+
+  - gui: Fixed: QEvent::Enter/Leave events were delivered incorrectly if the
+    alien child widget belonging to a native parent intersected with a native
+    child of this parent (this in particular caused extended tool bars to
+    immediately un-extend once the mouse moves over the extended part).
+
+  - gui: Fixed: Mouse press events replayed after closing the popup by clicking
+    outside it had incorrect coordinates. This resulted into various kinds of
+    misbehavior including spatial text selection in QTextEdit widgets after
+    closing popups by clicking inside these widgets.
+
+  - gui: Fixed: The default application icon embedded into the executable was
+    not actually used as the default window icon for top-level widgets.
+
+  - qmake/os2-g++: Do not use EXEPACK tool on static libraries.
