The +front page of the Qt documentation (index.html) has been redesigned +to provide better access to other documentation than class +documentation. + +OpenGL Module +------------- + +Qt beta 5 provides some fixes which will make rendering GL widgets to +pixmaps work on a wider range of X servers. + +QDateTimeEdit +------------- + +The QDateTimeEdit, QDateEdit and QTimeEdit widgets have been moved +from the SQL module to the Qt core widget set. All users of Qt can +now use these widgets. + + +Qt Designer +======================================== + + - Some bugs related to the .ui.h feature were fixed. + + - The generation of code related to QSqlCursor has been fixed. + + - When removing a slot implementation from the Qt Designer + interface, do not accidentally remove a preceding comment. + + - Improved the C++ code indenter in the editor for some C++ + constructs, including try-catch blocks. + + +Qt Linguist +======================================== + + - Fixed problem with loading phrase books containing non-ASCII + characters. + + +Qt Classes +======================================== + +QApplication +------------ + + - Fixed a clipboard bug related to drag-and-drop on X11. + +QColorDialog +------------ + + - Fixed repaint problem. + +QComboBox +--------- + + - Never inserts empty strings in the list. + - Use the drop-down listbox's size hint in the combobox if the + listbox has been set manually. + +QComponentInterface +------------------- + + - This class has been renamed QComponentInformationInterface. + +QComponentServerInterface +------------------------- + + - This class has been renamed QComponentRegistrationInterface. + +QDataBrowser +------------ + + - The setCursor() function is obsolete and has been removed due to + problems with some compilers. Use setSqlCursor() instead. + +QDataTable +---------- + + - Fixed a rare crash when the database is deleted while its popup is + still open. + - Made setColumnWidth() a public slot like in the base class. + - The setCursor() function is obsolete and has been removed due to + problems with some compilers. Use setSqlCursor() instead. + +QDateTimeEdit +------------- + + - Fixed the minimumSizeHint() for better behavior in a layout. + +QDom +---- + + - Added a sanity check. + +QFileDialog +----------- + + - Fixed a crash in MotifPlus style. + - Use the existing file-icon provider rather than the default + Windows one if one is set. + +QFont +----- + + - Fixed background color for more than 8 bits per channel. + - Added the font's pixel size to the value returned by key(). + +QFtp +---- + + - Correcty sets the default password to "anonymous". + +QGL +--- + + - Added robustness on X11 for invalid pixmap parameters. + +QImage +------ + + - Fixed loading of BGR BMP files. + - Changed the signature of the constructor to accept "const char * + const *" objects without a cast. + +QLatin1Codec +------------ + + - Provide the missing mimeName(). + +QLibrary +-------- + + - Construct Unix-specific filenames correctly. + +QLineEdit +--------- + + - Fixed offset for right-aligned text. + +QListView +--------- + + - Fixed a bug with in-place renaming. + +QMime +----- + + - Fixed infinite loop when searching for a mime-source. + +QMutex +------ + + - Unlock the Qt library mutex when enter_loop() is called the first + time, rather than when exec() is called. A programmer might call + QDialog::exec() and never QApplication::exec(), and then she will + wait for the mutex. + +QPixmap +------- + + - Do transformations correctly on big-endian systems. + +QPrinter +-------- + + - Respect the PRINTER environment variable on X11, as stated in the + documentation. + - Work around a display-context bug on Windows 95 and 98. + +QProcess +-------- + +New functions: + void clearArguments(); + int communication() const; + void setCommunication( int c ); + +QProgressBar +------------ + + - Fixed bug in repainting when a background pixmap is set. + +QPtrList +-------- + + - Reverted a semantics change introduced in beta 4 when deleting the + current item. + +QRegExp +------- + + - Fixed matchedLength() when used with exactMatch(). This bug + affected QRegExpValidator. + +QRichText +--------- + + - Added support for "color" attribute in
tag. + - Fixed selectedText(). + +QSqlCursor +---------- + + - Don't generate calculated fields. + +QStatusBar +---------- + + - Made addWidget() and removeWidget() virtual. + +QSpinBox +-------- + + - Fixed the minimumSizeHint() for better behavior in a layout. + +QStyle +------ + + - Allow separator custom menu items to use a different size than + specified by the style. + +Qt +-- + + - Renamed Qt::Top, Qt::Bottom, Qt::Left, Qt::Right to Qt::DockTop, + Qt::DockBottom, Qt::DockLeft, Qt::DockRight. + +QTable +------ + + - Fixed currentChanged() and valueChanged() emits. + +QTextEdit +--------- + + - Moved eventFilter() from the public slots section to the public + section of the class definition. + - Reformat after changing tab-stop size. + - Implemented undo for clear(). + +New function: + void zoomTo( int size ); + +QTextIStream +------------ + + - Fixed QTextIStream with a QString. + +QToolBar +-------- + + - Fall back to text property in extension popup if no pixmap label + has been set. + - Made mainWindow() const. + +QToolButton +----------- + + - Fixed the minimumSizeHint() for better behavior in a layout. + +QToolTip +-------- + + - Fixed the transparent tooltip effect a la Windows 2000. + +QUrl +---- + + - Fixed the return value of QUrl::dirPath() on Windows. + - Set ref to nothing when merging URLs. + +QUrlOperator +------------ + + - Added a default parameter for single copy to specify the "to" file + name and not just the file path. + +New function: + QPtrList copy( const QString& from, + const QString& to, bool move, bool toPath ); + +QValueList +---------- + + - Added a return value to remove(), as stated in the documentation. + +QWidget +------- + + - Fixed a bug in QPainter on X11 that caused a crash when paint + events were dispatched from other paint events. + - Fixed showMaximized() and deferred map handling. + - When specifying WDestructiveClose as a widget flag, + QWidget::close() does not immediately delete the widget anymore, but + calles QObject::deferredDelete() + + +QWorkspace +---------- + + - Fixed cascade().
