+Qt 4.5.0-garden
+---------------
+
+The Qt for S60 "Garden" release is the fourth pre-release from the
+Qt for S60 porting project. "Garden" is based on the Qt 4.5 codebase
+and release focus has been on proper GUI integration.
+
+Up to and including change: b7621555cb1d1c97967dd40d63dd7e85a418407c
+
+Lists just S60 fixes, for general 4.5.0 changes go to:
+
+ http://qt.nokia.com/developer/changes/changes-4.5.0
+
+Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers
+corresponding to tasks in the Task Tracker:
+
+ http://qt.nokia.com/developer/task-tracker
+
+Each of these identifiers can be entered in the task tracker to obtain
+more information about a particular change. Sometimes the task is internal
+and cannot be viewed by the public, a lot of them are non-public for Qt for
+S60 at the moment.

+****************************************************************************
+* New features *
+****************************************************************************
+
+New modules
+-----------
+
+- qtmain
+ * Added a small static library called qtmain which is linked in
+ automatically for Qt applications on S60. qtmain includes an
+ implementation of E32Main() that sets up Qt correctly for S60. This
+ means that Qt no longer links to libcrt0.lib but uses qtmain instead.
+ However, if you are not linking against QtGui, you'll still have to
+ link to libcrt0.
+
+New classes
+------------
+
+- QS60Style
+ * Native look for Qt applications on S60 3.1 and later versions. The
+ style picks up the current theme parts, palettes and font settings
+ through the skinserver and uses these when painting in Qt.
+ The layout data for different resolutions is considered.
+
+Ported classes
+--------------
+
+- QDesktopServices
+ * Provides methods for accessing common desktop services: Opening the
+ browser with an url, launching documents with the standard application
+ and getting default system directories.
+
+- QClipboard
+ * Provides access to the window system clipboard.
+
+- QSysInfo
+ * QSysInfo class provides information about the system.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- Input methods
+ * QInputMethodEvent will now be generated by Qt.
+ To use it, widgets must set the attribute WA_InputMethodEnabled and
+ implement QWidget::inputMethodQuery(...).
+ * Qt will use the underlaying FEP framework from S60.
+ * Multitap and T9 supported.
+ * Virtual keyboard for touch phones is supported.
+ * Most of the Qt widgets already have support for input methods.
+
+- Drag-n-Drop
+ * At the moment works only within same Qt process.
+
+- STL support for QtS60
+ * use -stl switch when configuring Qt.
+
+Optimizations
+-------------
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Build issues *
+****************************************************************************
+
+- Fixed compilation on private S60 platforms by adding neccessary include paths.
+- Fix compiler error if --gnu flag is given to RVCT.
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Changes to existing classes *
+****************************************************************************
+
+- qapplication_s60.cpp (non-public)
+ * Simplified by introduction of qtmain.
+ * added CCoeControl to be the native representation of QWidget.
+ * Use window group from CEikonEnv instead of creating our own.
+ * No need to create/destroy RWsSession, this is now done by the Avkon
+ application.
+ * Handle pointer events from QSymbianControl.
+ * Stopped using QETWidget for translation, now handled by
+ QSymbianControl.
+ * MouseButtonDblClick mapped to EModifierDoubleClick (after dblclick
+ Symbian will send mouseButtonRelease.
+
+- QApplication
+ * Implemented setDoubleClickInterval(...).
+ * Improved widgetAt().
+ * Added support for resizing widget's when the screen orientation
+ changes from portrait to landscape. For fullscreen and maximized
+ widgets this will ensure that they look correct in the new screen
+ layout.
+
+- qwindowsurface_s60.cpp (non-public)
+ * Stopped creating our own CWindowGc based on the RWindow and get
+ SystemGc from the CCoeControl we are currently painting on instead.
+
+- qeventdispatcher_s60.cpp
+ * Stopped using Active Objects to recieve events, we get them from
+ C*AppUi and CCoeControl instead.
+
+- QWidget
+ * Proper implementation for QDesktopWidget::availableGeometry.
+ * Improved raising and lowering widgets.
+ * Implemented setWindowTitle(...).
+ * Implemented QWidget::setWindowIcon(...) and made it to react to
+ different statuspane layouts.
+ * Improved focus handling (improved setFocus_sys).
+ * Fixed native window scrolling. Only use accelerated scroll if we are
+ scrolling a window owning widget.
+ * Improved setWindowState(...).
+ * Added implementation for createDefaultWindowSurface_sys().
+ * Added implementation for setMask_sys().
+ * Not creating a backing store for the top level widget (saves memory).
+ * winId() now returns a CCoeControl instead of RWindow.
+
+- QMenuBar
+ * Added support for using native S60 menues.
+ * Supported infinite level of menues inside menues.
+ * Supported checkboxes next to menu items).
+
+- QtCore and QtGui
+ * link to CONE and Uikon libraries and stop linking to glib and gthread.
+ * Renamed qt_deployment.pro to qt_libs.pro as it is more consistent.
+
+- Event loop / Event dispatcher
+ * We now integrate with the native loop, allowing CActiveScheduler and
+ QEventLoop to be used interchangably.
+ * Enabled posted events to work from the Symbian active scheduler too.
+ * Enable use of QEventLoop::ExcludeSocketEvents on Symbian.
+ * Improved handling of zero timers.
+
+- QColumnView
+ * Fixed a typo in one instance of QT_NO_QCOLUMNVIEW.
+
+- font rendering
+ * Speed increase
+ * Correctly render RTL text
+ * Proper shaping of complex writing systems
+ * Automatic font linking (aka merging) of different writing systems
+ * Rudimentary fallback glyph outline support
+ * Defaults to Symbians native (usually iType based) font rendering.
+ Alternatively, supports FreeType. Configure with -qt-freetype.
+
+- qcore_symbian_p.h (non-public)
+ * Added helper functions to convert QRect <-> TRect.
+ * Renamed qstringToTPtrC to qt_QString2TPtrC.
+ * Added helper function qt_TDisplayMode2Format.
+ * Added helper function to convert QSize <-> TSize.
+ * Added helper function to convert QString ->HBufC.
+ * Added helper function to convert TDesC -> QString.
+
+- QGraphicsSystem
+ * QRasterPixmapData(...) is specified as default pixmap data for S60.
+
+- QPixmap
+ * Improved grabWindow(...) when it comes to selecting client rect.
+
+- QDirModel
+ * Returns root dir name similary as done in Windows
+
+- QFSFileEngine
+ * copy(...) now uses Symbian native copy implementation which is more efficient
+ and doesn't leave temp files behind
+
+- QLocale
+ * Now has Symbian system locale support.
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Examples and demos *
+****************************************************************************
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Tools *
+****************************************************************************
+
+- qmake
+ * Support for QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS and QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS variables.
+ * Support BLD_INF_RULES variable. Adds entries to generated bld.inf file
+ * Added 'make' targets '<build>-<platform>' 'distclean' and 'run'
+ * New platform_paths.prf and data_caging_paths.prf contain several
+ variables and replacement functions for including known paths.
+ * The .pro file qt_libs.pro was moved to src/s60installs.
+ * Support for ICON variable for setting application icon.
+ * Support for RSS_RULES variable, which enables entries to be added to
+ generated application registration files.
+ * When bulding qmake and other bootstrapped tools we now use
+ "-warnings on" instead of "-warnings all".
+ * Improved error message if calls to $$system() fails.
+ * Fixed several issues when qmake is built for platform win32-mwc.
+ * Moved mocing step to the build step so it is not longer required to
+ do "abld build" or "abld makefile" to remoc.
+ * Improved "make clean".
+ * Increased max heap to 8Mb.
+ * Enabled __CC_ARM flag used by some versions of RVCT.
+ * Removed hard coded INCLUDEPATH from qmake - developer can control
+ the whole include path hierachy.
+ * Symbian export mechanism is no longer used for emulator deployment,
+ instead copy commands are generated to wrapper makefile and
+ executed during final phase of building, after post link.
+ * Removed -O1 flag from WINSCW builds.
+ * Added qmake function (size) to ask number of items in QStringList.
+ * Qt demos are now installed to QtDemos folder in S60 emulator.
+ * Qt examples are now installed to QtExamples folder in S60 emulator/HW.
+ * Plugin stubs suffix changed to ".qtplugin".
+ * Paths containing $${EPOCROOT}/epoc32 will now properly generate
+ absolute paths in mmps.
+
+
+-configure
+ * Defaults for FREETYPE and SCRIPTTOOLS set to "no".
