    37   * Security fix (CVE-2006-3334): Buffer overflow allows context-dependent
       
    38     attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary
       
    39     code via unspecified vectors related to chunk error processing.
       
    40 
       
    41   * Security fix (CVE-2006-5793): The sPLT chunk handling code
       
    42     uses a sizeof operator on the wrong data type, which allows
       
    43     context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
       
    44     via malformed sPLT chunks that trigger an out-of-bounds read.
       
    45 
       
    46   * Security fix: Avoid profile larger than iCCP chunk.
       
    47     One might crash a decoder by putting a larger profile inside the
       
    48     iCCP profile than is actually expected.
       
    49 
       
    50   * Security fix: NULL pointer dereference.
       
    51 
       
    52   * Disabled MMX assembler code for Intel-Mac platforms to work
       
    53     around a compiler bug.
       
    54 
       
    55   * Disabled MMX assembler code for x86_64 platforms.
       
    56 
       
    57 - freetype
       
    58 
       
    59   * Security fix (CVE-2006-0747): Integer underflow allows remote
       
    60     attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a font file
       
    61     with an odd number of blue values, which causes the underflow
       
    62     when decrementing by 2 in a context that assumes an even number
       
    63     of values. 
       
    64 
       
    65   * Security fix (CVE-2006-1861): Multiple integer overflows allow
       
    66     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly
       
    67     execute arbitrary code.
       
    68 
       
    69   * Security fix (CVE-2006-2661): A null dereference flaw allows
       
    70     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a
       
    71     specially crafted font file.
       
    72 
       
    73   * Fixed memory leak.

    88 
       
    89 - QDateTime
       
    90         Made QDateTime::fromString(QString(), Qt::TextDate) work with locales
       
    91         that have two-digit day names (e.g. Di 16. Jan).
       
    92 
       
    93 - QDns
       
    94         Stability fixes for networks with missing DNS settings.

    97         Ensured that files are not accidentally replaced or lost during drag 
       
    98         and drop operations.
       
    99 
       
   100 - QFtp
       
   101         Fixed a crash when uploading data from a closed QIODevice.
       
   102         Fixed a potential crash when a FTP session gets deleted in a slot.
       
   103 	
       
   104 - QGLWidget
       
   105         renderText() no longer tries to convert the text passed in to
       
   106         a local 8 bit encoding (via local8Bit()). latin1() is used instead.
       
   107 
       
   108 - QGridLayout

   110 
       
   111 - QHttp
       
   112         Fixed an overflow that could occur when chunked downloading caused
       
   113         erroneous allocations.
       
   114 
       
   115 - QListBox

   118 
       
   119 - QListView
       
   120         Set internal startDragItem pointer to 0 in clear(). This can prevent
       
   121         crashes during drag and drop operations.
       
   122         Fixed a documentation error in setSelectable.

   130 	
       
   131 - QTextEdit
       
   132         setDocument() no longer crashes when 0 is passed as an argument.

   134         Fixed a potential crash when using undo/redo functionality.
       
   135         Fixed a regression when searching for space using QTextEdit::find().
       
   136 
       
   137 - SQL plugins
       
   138         Ensured that mysql_server_end() is only called once in the MySQL plugin.
       
   139         Fixed fetching of strings larger than 255 characters from a
       
   140         Sybase server through ODBC.
       
   141         Ensured that milliseconds are not stripped from ODBC time values.

   146 
       
   147

   204         Added support for Panther-style tabs for tabs on the bottom of a tab
       
   205         widget.
       
   206

   221 - Fixed a regression where full keyboard access was not being honored.
       
   222 
       
   223 - Fixed a regression preventing static file dialogs from being opened in a
       
   224   contextMenuEvent() handler.
       
   225  
       
   226 - Fixed a regression in navigating nested popup menus.
       
   227 
       
   228 
       
   229 X11:
       
   230 
       
   231 - Fixed rendering of Japanese text with XLFD fonts.
       
   232 
       
   233 - Fixed rendering of text with stacking diacritics.
       
   234 
       
   235 - Rendering fixes for Indic scripts.
       
   236 
       
   237 - Fixed problem with applications hanging while querying the clipboard. This is

   247 - The X input method language status window is no longer shown for popup menus
       
   248   on Solaris.
       
   249 
       
   250 - Fixed incorrect use of colors when painting on the default (TrueColor) screen
       
   251   when running a Qt application on a multi-screen display where the default
       
   252   screen uses a TrueColor visual and the secondary screen a PseudoColor visual.
       
   253 
       
   254 - Fixed a bug where calling newPage() directly before destroying the QPrinter
       
   255   caused the last page to be printed twice.

   257 - Fixed a bug on older Unix systems where incorrect font sizes could get used
