+ \title Supported Platforms
+ \brief The platforms supported by Nokia for Qt.
+ \ingroup platform-notes
+
+ Qt Software strives to provide support for the platforms most
+ frequently used by Qt users. We have designed our internal testing procedure to
+ divide platforms into three test categories (Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3) in order
+ to prioritize internal testing and development resources so that the most
+ frequently used platforms are subjected to our most rigorous testing processes.
+
+ Qt is supported on a variety of 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and can
+ usually be built on each platform with GCC, a vendor-supplied compiler, or
+ a third party compiler. Although Qt may be built on a range of platform-compiler
+ combinations, only a subset of these are actively supported by Nokia.
+
+ \tableofcontents
+
+ Information about the specific platforms Qt runs on can be found on the
+ \l{Platform Notes} page. Information about the compilers used on each platform
+ can be found on the \l{Compiler Notes} page.
+
+ \section1 Tier 1 Platforms
+
+ All Tier 1 platforms are subjected to our unit test suite and other internal
+ testing tools on a frequent basis (prior to new version releases, source tree
+ branching, and at other significant period points in the development process).
+ Errors or bugs discovered in these platforms are prioritized for correction
+ by the development team. Significant errors discovered in Tier 1 platforms can
+ impact release dates and Qt Development Frameworks strives to resolve all known
+ high priority errors in Tier 1 platforms prior to new version releases.

+
+ \section1 Tier 2 Platforms
+
+ Tier 2 platforms are subjected to our unit test suite and other internal testing
+ tools prior to release of new product versions. Qt users should note, however,
+ that errors may be present in released product versions for Tier 2 platforms and,
+ subject to resource availability, known errors in Tier 2 platforms may or may not
+ be corrected prior to new version releases.

+
+ All platforms not specifically listed above are not supported by Nokia. Nokia does
+ not run its unit test suite or perform any other internal tests on platforms not
+ listed above. Qt users should note, however, that there may be various open source
+ projects, community users and/or Qt partners who are able to provide assistance with
+ platforms not supported by Nokia.
+
+ \section1 General Legal Disclaimer

+ of any kind and that our products are not error or bug free. To the maximum extent
