Changelog:

compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 2.2.3
****************************************************************************

- Platform and Compiler fixes for AIX and BSDi. Building a Qt DLL with
the Borland Builder is again supported.
- Printing quality and postscript output on X11 has been improved.
The page and text formatting now handles different Windows versions
correctly.
- Image loading of PNG and GIF files is much more robust against broken
files.
- On X11, popup menus do not grab the keyboard anymore, but rely on
and enforce the application to have focus. This works around an X11
bug where deadkeys do not work while the keyboard is grabbed.

- Binary compatibility is NOT maintained with previous Qt/Embedded release,
you will need to recompile any old executables to use with this release.
- Source compatibility is NOT maintained with Qt/Embedded-specific functions.
You may get minor compilation errors if you have used previous
- QCopChannel now inherits QObject. If you have multiply-inherited a QObject
subclass and QCopChannel, you should instead connect your QObject to the
QCopChannel::received() signal.
- The identifier "TTF" in fontdir is now "FT". This reflects the fact that
the FreeType library supports Type1, Windows FNT, and other font formats
in addition to TrueType. FreeType 2.0.1 is now used (src/3rdparty/freetype).
- 16bpp support in QVFb.
- QDirectPainter experimental direct-video access.
