The Qt Library+
−
========================================+

−
Documentation+
−
-------------+
−
+

The extensive revision of Qt classes' documentation is complete. 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.+
