1 Here is a list of user-visible changes in Qt from 1.0 to 1.1.  As

     2 usual, we fixed some bugs, made some more speedups, and improved the

     3 documentation.

     7 *               Changes that might affect runtime behavior                 *

     8 ****************************************************************************

     9 

    10 We've added keyboard interface to more widgets, and changed the

    11 default focus policy radically.  For example, by default you can TAB

    12 to button, but it does not grab focus when you click it.  The new

    13 QWidget::setFocusPolicy() function can be used to change focus policy

    14 for all widgets.

    15 

    16 The font matching algorithm has been tweaked in order to provide more

    17 predictable fonts in more cases.  For some users (such as those with a

    18 75dpi X server and only 100dpi fonts installed) it may change the

    19 output of some programs.

    20 

    21 sizeHint() and hence default size has been tweaked for some widgets;

    22 QMenuBar and QPushButton in particular.

    23

    25 ****************************************************************************

    26 *               Changes that might generate compile errors                 *

    27 *                        when compiling old code                           *

    28 ****************************************************************************

    29 

    30 We've renamed "declare" in qgeneric.h to Q_DECLARE due to naming

    31 conflicts.  Though we try to provide backward compatibility, there may

    32 be problems for a few programs.

    33 

    34 

    35 ****************************************************************************

    36 *               Type changes that might generate warnings:                 *

    43 *                         Obsoleted functions                              *

    50 * 			     New classes				   *

    51 ****************************************************************************

    52 

    53 QTabDialog (and QTabBar) provide a tabbed dialog.  examples/pref shows

    54 simple usage of QTabDialog.

    55 

    56 QMultiLineEditor is the long-awaited multi-line editor.

    57 

    58 QGridLayout provides grid-like geometry management for any widget,

    59 with flexible row/column elasticity, minimum and maximum sizes.

    60 

    61 QBoxLayout provides more complex and powerful geometry management:

    62 boxes and widgets stacked inside other boxes, and finally a top-level

    63 box connected to a widget.

    64 

    65 QToolTip provides tool tips for any widget.

    66

    69 *		       Other changes from 1.0 to 1.1			   *

    70 ****************************************************************************

    71 

    72 Added QApplication::setColorMode() and colorMode().

    73 

    74 Added QColor::setAllocContext() and friends; these functions enable

    75 applications to allocate discardable colors and then discard them.

    76 

    77 Removed some GNU-make features from the makefiles.

    78 

    79 Added a QPalette constructor to construct an entire palette from a single

    80 background color, for convenience.

    81 

    82 moc output now has a version number #define.

    83 

    84 AIX support added.  IRIX and NetBSD fixed.

    85 

    86 Rewrote a couple of functions to work around compiler bugs, or

    87 purify/boundschecker overzealousness.

    88 

    89 Fixed that ugly man-page SYNOPSIS bug.

    90 

    91 Added the static function QMessageBox::query().

    92 

    93 QRect::unite() now produces the desired results if exactly one of the

    94 rectangles is invalid.

    95 

    96 QObject::parent() is now public.

    97 

    98 QPainter::drawWinFocusRect() draws a Windows 95-style focus rectangle.

    99 (A focus rectangle can not be drawn using ordinary Windows drawing

   100 functions.)

   101 

   102 QApplication::processEvents() added to cater for long-running

   103 computations; it processes one round of window system events and

   104 timers and then returns.

   105 

   106 QComboBox has been extended to provide an editable combo box and Motif

   107 2.x compatible look and feel.

   108 

   109 We've also added a host of new workarounds for bugs in Borland C++,

   110 Microsoft VC++, DEC CXX and HP CC.
