+Qt 4.6.1 is a bug-fix release. It maintains both forward and backward
+compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 4.6.0. 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.
