Here is a list of user-visible changes in Qt from 1.0 to 1.1.  As+
−
usual, we fixed some bugs, made some more speedups, and improved the+
−
documentation.+

****************************************************************************+
−
*               Changes that might affect runtime behavior                 *+
−
****************************************************************************+
−
+
−
We've added keyboard interface to more widgets, and changed the+
−
default focus policy radically.  For example, by default you can TAB+
−
to button, but it does not grab focus when you click it.  The new+
−
QWidget::setFocusPolicy() function can be used to change focus policy+
−
for all widgets.+
−
+
−
The font matching algorithm has been tweaked in order to provide more+
−
predictable fonts in more cases.  For some users (such as those with a+
−
75dpi X server and only 100dpi fonts installed) it may change the+
−
output of some programs.+
−
+
−
sizeHint() and hence default size has been tweaked for some widgets;+
−
QMenuBar and QPushButton in particular.+
−
+
−
+

****************************************************************************+
−
*               Changes that might generate compile errors                 *+
−
*                        when compiling old code                           *+
−
****************************************************************************+
−
+
−
We've renamed "declare" in qgeneric.h to Q_DECLARE due to naming+
−
conflicts.  Though we try to provide backward compatibility, there may+
−
be problems for a few programs.+
−
+
−
+
−
****************************************************************************+
−
*               Type changes that might generate warnings:                 *+

****************************************************************************+
−
+
−
QTabDialog (and QTabBar) provide a tabbed dialog.  examples/pref shows+
−
simple usage of QTabDialog.+
−
+
−
QMultiLineEditor is the long-awaited multi-line editor.+
−
+
−
QGridLayout provides grid-like geometry management for any widget,+
−
with flexible row/column elasticity, minimum and maximum sizes.+
−
+
−
QBoxLayout provides more complex and powerful geometry management:+
−
boxes and widgets stacked inside other boxes, and finally a top-level+
−
box connected to a widget.+
−
+
−
QToolTip provides tool tips for any widget.+
−
+

****************************************************************************+
−
*		       Other changes from 1.0 to 1.1			   *+
−
****************************************************************************+
−
+
−
Added QApplication::setColorMode() and colorMode().+
−
+
−
Added QColor::setAllocContext() and friends; these functions enable+
−
applications to allocate discardable colors and then discard them.+
−
+
−
Removed some GNU-make features from the makefiles.+
−
+
−
Added a QPalette constructor to construct an entire palette from a single+
−
background color, for convenience.+
−
+
−
moc output now has a version number #define.+
−
+
−
AIX support added.  IRIX and NetBSD fixed.+
−
+
−
Rewrote a couple of functions to work around compiler bugs, or+
−
purify/boundschecker overzealousness.+
−
+
−
Fixed that ugly man-page SYNOPSIS bug.+
−
+
−
Added the static function QMessageBox::query().+
−
+
−
QRect::unite() now produces the desired results if exactly one of the+
−
rectangles is invalid.+
−
+
−
QObject::parent() is now public.+
−
+
−
QPainter::drawWinFocusRect() draws a Windows 95-style focus rectangle.+
−
(A focus rectangle can not be drawn using ordinary Windows drawing+
−
functions.)+
−
+
−
QApplication::processEvents() added to cater for long-running+
−
computations; it processes one round of window system events and+
−
timers and then returns.+
−
+
−
QComboBox has been extended to provide an editable combo box and Motif+
−
2.x compatible look and feel.+
−
+
−
We've also added a host of new workarounds for bugs in Borland C++,+
−
Microsoft VC++, DEC CXX and HP CC.+
