"Fossies" - the Fresh Open Source Software Archive

Member "qt-everywhere-src-6.3.1/qtbase/dist/changes-2.00" (25 May 2022, 4359 Bytes) of package /linux/misc/qt-everywhere-src-6.3.1.tar.xz:

As a special service "Fossies" has tried to format the requested text file into HTML format (style: standard) with prefixed line numbers. Alternatively you can here view or download the uninterpreted source code file. 
    1 Qt 2.0 introduces a wide range of major new features as well as
    2 substantial improvements over the 1.x series.  The documentation has
    3 been significally extended and improved.
    4 
    5 This file will only give an overview of the main changes since version
    6 1.44.  A complete list would simply be too large to be useful.  For
    7 more detail see the online documentation which is included in this
    8 distribution, and also available on http://qt.nokia.com/doc/
    9 
   10 The Qt version 2.x series is not binary compatible with the 1.x
   11 series.  This means programs compiled with Qt version 1.x must be
   12 recompiled to work with Qt 2.0.
   13 
   14 Qt 2.0 is mostly, but not completely, source compatible with Qt 1.x.
   15 See the document "Porting from Qt 1.x to Qt 2.0" in the Online
   16 Reference Documentation for information on how to port an existing Qt
   17 1.x-based program to Qt 2.0.  Note in particular the automatic porting
   18 script included - it does a lot of the work for you.
   19 
   20 As for 1.x, the API and functionality of Qt is completely portable
   21 between Microsoft Windows and X11.  And between Windows 95, 98 and NT:
   22 Unlike most toolkits, Qt lets a single executable work on all three.
