- 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

- On X11, popup menus do not grab the keyboard anymore, but rely on

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

- 16bpp support in QVFb.
