Qt 4.6.2 is a bug-fix release. It maintains both forward and backward

compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 4.6.0 and 4.6.1.  For more

details, refer to the online documentation included in this

distribution. The documentation is also available online:

  http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6

The Qt version 4.6 series is binary compatible with the 4.5.x series.

Applications compiled for 4.5 will continue to run with 4.6.

Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers

corresponding to tasks in the Qt Bug Tracker, the (now obsolete) Task

Tracker, or the Merge Request queue of the public source repository.

****************************************************************************

Qt for Linux/X11

 - [QTBUG-7312]: Menubar and dock disappear after hiding a fullscreen widget

   on Cocoa.

 - [QTBUG-7481]: Re-added the Close button in QPrintPreviewDialog for

   Mac/Carbon.

 - [QTBUG-7522]: Drawing fake buttons using QMacStyle+QStyleOptionViewItemV4

   lead to crash.

   in top menu hiding.

   QPixmap::scroll.

Qt for Symbian

--------------

 - [QTBUG-6556] Improve the DEF file handling scheme, to allow simple enable/

   disable of DEF file usage (for use _during development only_ to decouple

   the need to update the DEF files at the precise point that symbols are

   removed, therefore allowing builds by CI systems to succeed even if symbols

   have been removed.  This does not remove the need to update the DEF files

   before release.  NOTE: Builds generated using this flag are not binary

   compatible with previous versions of Qt.)

 - QProcess

   * [QTBUG-7667] Fixed no-timeout case for QProcess::waitForFinished.

   * The behaviour of PreferCache and PreferNetwork modes now match

     the documentation more closely

 - QUrl

    * QUrl will now accept hostnames ending in dot and will not treat
