+Qt 2.0 introduces a wide range of major new features as well as
+substantial improvements over the 1.x series.  The documentation has
+been significally extended and improved.
+
+This file will only give an overview of the main changes since version
+1.44.  A complete list would simply be too large to be useful.  For
+more detail see the online documentation which is included in this
+distribution, and also available on http://qt.nokia.com/doc/
+
+The Qt version 2.x series is not binary compatible with the 1.x
+series.  This means programs compiled with Qt version 1.x must be
+recompiled to work with Qt 2.0.
+
+Qt 2.0 is mostly, but not completely, source compatible with Qt 1.x.
+See the document "Porting from Qt 1.x to Qt 2.0" in the Online
+Reference Documentation for information on how to port an existing Qt
+1.x-based program to Qt 2.0.  Note in particular the automatic porting
+script included - it does a lot of the work for you.
+
+As for 1.x, the API and functionality of Qt is completely portable
+between Microsoft Windows and X11.  And between Windows 95, 98 and NT:
+Unlike most toolkits, Qt lets a single executable work on all three.
+

+    QTextCodec (and subclasses)
+    QString is now a 16-bit Unicode string with good support for
+	legacy 8-bit interoperation. (The old 8-bit string class
+	from Qt 1.x has been renamed to QCString.)
+    QChar - a Unicode character

+* Convenient and powerful new collection classes:
+    QMap<Key,Type> - QDict with arbitrary keys
+    QValueList<Type> - QList of types other than pointers
+    QStringList - QValueList<QString> with helper functions
+
+* Dialogs
+    QColorDialog - user picks a color

+    QWizard - framework for leading users through steps
+
+* Layout

+    QHGroupBox/QVGroupBox - easy framed groups of widgets
+    QSizePolicy - a widget's abilities to change size in different ways
+
+* Custom layouts
+    New, much simpler and more powerful API for creating custom layouts
+
+* PNG Support
+    PNG support is now included in the core library
+
+* Support for generalized configurable GUI styles:
+    QStyle and subclasses
+
+* Session management
+    QSessionManager - saving state when the system shuts down
+
+* Extended coordinate system
+    QPoint, QPointArray, QSize and QRect now have 32-bit coordinates
+
+* Cleaner namespace
+    Global functions, enums and macros now either start with a 'q' or
