Here is a list of user-visible changes in Qt from 1.1 to 1.2.  As+
−
usual, we fixed some bugs, made some more speedups, and improved the+
−
documentation.+

****************************************************************************+

*               Changes that might affect runtime behavior                 *+
−
****************************************************************************+
−
+
−
QGridLayout::addWidget() and addMultiCellWidget(): The align parameter+
−
is now interpreted correctly. (Previously up/down and right/left were+
−
reversed.) If you have worked around this bug, your widgets may now be+
−
incorrectly aligned.+
−
+
−
QWidget: Every widget is now guaranteed move and resize events. The+
−
event is deferred until the first show(). This may cause problems in+
−
rare cases involving event filters.+

****************************************************************************+
−
*               Changes that might generate compile errors                 *+

****************************************************************************+
−
+
−
QApplication::setColorMode() and colorMode() will be obsoleted. Use+
−
setColorSpec() and colorSpec() instead.+
−
+
−
qchecksum() will be obsoleted. Please use qChecksum() instead.+

−
****************************************************************************+
−
* 			     New classes				   *+
−
****************************************************************************+
−
+
−
QSlider is a widget to input values from a range. If you have been+
−
using a standalone QScrollBar, you will probably want to switch to a+
−
QSlider.+
−
+
−
OpenGL/Mesa support: QGLWidget, QGLContext and QGLFormat. To use these+
−
classes you need to build the Qt/OpenGL library (qgl) in qt/opengl/src.+
