     2 
       
     3    support for spaces in filenames.
       
     4 
       
     5 2.00a -
       
     6 
       
     7    Automatic feature loading (from CONFIG) has been added, this allows qmake to be
       
     8    written using qmake language.
       
     9 
       
    10    The dependency generation system has been redesigned to be faster (as over time
       
    11    it had gotten slower and slower as features crept in). This new system is used
       
    12    for dependency calcuation and moc detection.
       
    13 
       
    14    qmake has been changed to allow features to be introduced without changes to
       
    15    C++ sources (ie project files).
       
    16 
       
    17    DEPENDS supported to allow hard coded dependencies (when qmake's depend are inadaquate)
       
    18 
       
    19    $$sprintf() added to allow easy expansion of complex strings (using %1..%n)
       
    20 
       
    21    for() iteration has been introduced to do simple looping in a qmake script. 
       
    22 
       
    23    CONFIG() test function added.
       
    24 
       
    25    $$basename() and $$dirname() added for file manipulation.
       
    26 
       
    27    warning() can be used in place of message() now.
       
    28 
       
    29    improved support for subdirs with .pro's listed
       
    30    support for QT added to add functionality from Qt
       
    31 
       
    32 1.07a -
       
    33 
       
    34    support for precompiled headers added
       
    35 
       
    36 1.06b -
       
    37   
       
    38    support for reading and writing libtool (.la) files
       
    39    support for reading pkgconfig (.pkg) files
       
    40 
       
    41    PWD added as an automatic variable to mean the directory
       
    42    the file being parsed is in (this change required that the
       
    43    directory be set to the file being parsed as well, function
       
    44    tests that query relative paths will need to be relative the
       
    45    file being parsed).
       
    46 
       
    47    persistant data cache introduced
       
    48 
       
    49 1.05a -
       
    50 
       
    51   caching of more information (speed ups)
       
    52   $$list() added to be used as a lambda function in qmake
       
    53   $$files() added to allow regular expression matching
       
    54   $$fromfile() added to grab one single variable value from a parsed file
       
    55   $$prompt() added to allow querying for user input from qmake
       
    56   include() modified to support specifying which variables to import
       
    57   equals() test added to test for equality
       
    58   MSVC.net generator added [partial solution files in vcsubdirs]
       
    59 
       
    60 1.04a -
       
    61 
       
    62   subdirs supports multiple project files in a single directory.
       
    63 
       
    64 1.03a -
       
    65 
       
    66   New function $$system() to extract the value of a shell call.
       
    67 
       
    68 1.02a -
       
    69 
       
    70   Dependency / Mocable caching. qmake can cache these expensive operations with qmake_cache
       
    71   CONFIG.
       
    72 
       
    73   The parser has been improved to cover more error cases, as well as more forgiving 
       
    74 
       
    75   qmake now includes a special else scope to invert the previous test
       
    76 
       
    77   Ability to add user defined targets to UnixMakefiles.
       
    78 
       
    79 1.01a -
       
    80 
       
    81  New system for library linking. This system allows a user several different features:
       
    82 
       
    83  1) libtool like library dependencies to static libraries build with qmake
       
    84  2) library dependencies, when on .pro depends on another library - it will
       
    85     automatically build that other library (unix makefiles only)
       
    86  3) automatic detection of configurations for Qt, if CONFIG qt is specified
       
    87     it will find the settings for the most recent Qt itself.
       
    88 
       
    89  Project Builder for Mac OS X is now a supported backend for qmake.
       
    90 
       
    91  qmake now offers a 'make uninstall' feature, to reverse the actions of a 'make install'.
       
    92 
       
    93  qmake can now do recursive searches in project-file mode (-r option).
       
    94 
       
    95 1.00a -
       
    96 
       
    97  First release, shipped with Qt 3.0.
       
    98 
       
    99  qmake ships with support for Unix make, MSVC (both dsp and nmake), Borland make.
