+Qt Solutions Component: Property Browser
+
+A property browser framework enabling the user to edit a set of
+properties.
+
+The framework provides a browser widget that displays the given
+properties with labels and corresponding editing widgets (e.g.
+line edits or comboboxes). The various types of editing widgets
+are provided by the framework's editor factories: For each
+property type, the framework provides a property manager (e.g.
+QtIntPropertyManager and QtStringPropertyManager) which can be
+associated with the preferred editor factory (e.g.
+QtSpinBoxFactory and QtLineEditFactory). The framework also
+provides a variant based property type with corresponding variant
+manager and factory. Finally, the framework provides three
+ready-made implementations of the browser widget:
+QtTreePropertyBrowser, QtButtonPropertyBrowser and
+QtGroupBoxPropertyBrowser.
+
+Version history:
+
+2.1: - QtTreePropertyBrowser - tooltip of property applied to
+ first column, while second column shows the value text of property
+ in its tooltip
+ - QtAbstractPropertyManager - initializeProperty() and
+ uninitializeProperty() without const modifier now
+ - QtTreePropertyBrowser and QtGroupBoxPropertyBrowser - internal
+ margin set to 0
+ - QtProperty - setEnabled() and isEnabled() methods added
+ - QtTreePropertyBrowser - "rootIsDecorated", "indentation" and
+ "headerVisible" properties added
+ - QtProperty - hasValue() method added, useful for group
+ properties
+
+2.2: - FocusOut event now filtered out in case of
+ Qt::ActiveWindowFocusReason reason. In that case editor is not
+ closed when its sub dialog is executed
+ - Removed bug in color icon generation
+ - Decimals attribute added to "double" property type
+ - PointF, SizeF and RectF types supported
+ - Proper translation calls for tree property browser
+ - QtProperty - ensure inserted subproperty is different from
+ "this" property
+ - QtBrowserItem class introduced, useful for identifying browser's
+ gui elements
+ - Possibility to control expanded state of QtTreePropertyBrowser's
+ items from code
+ - QtTreePropertyBrowser - "resizeMode" and "splitterPosition"
+ properties added
+ - QtGroupBoxPropertyBrowser - fixed crash in case of deleting the
+ editor factory and then deleting the manager
+ - "Decoration" example added - it shows how to add new
+ responsibilities to the existing managers and editor factories
+
+2.3: - Various bugfixes and improvements
+ - QtProperty - setModified() and isModified() methods added
+ - QtTreePropertyBrowser - disabling an item closes its editor
+ - KeySequence, Char, Locale and Cursor types supported
+ - Support for icons in enum type added
+ - Kerning subproperty exposed in Font type
+ - New property browser class added - QtButtonPropertyBrowser with
+ drop down button as a grouping element
+
+2.4: - Fixed memory leak of QtProperty
+ - QtTreePropertyBrowser - group items are rendered better
+ - QtTreePropertyBrowser - propertiesWithoutValueMarked and
+ alternatingRowColors features added
+ - QtTreePropertyBrowser - possibility of coloring properties added
+ - QtTreePropertyBrowser - keyboard navigation improved
+ - New factories providing popup dialogs added:
+ QtColorEditorFactory and QtFontEditorFactory
+ - Single step attribute added to: QtIntPropertyManager and
+ QtDoublePropertyManager
+
+2.5: - "Object Controller" example added. It implements a similar
+ widget to the property editor in QDesigner
+ - Compile with QT_NO_CURSOR
+ - Expand root item with single click on the '+' icon
+ - QtRectPropertyManager and QtRectFPropertyManager - by default
+ constraint is null rect meaning no constraint is applied
+
+2.6: - QtGroupPropertyBrowser - don't force the layout to show the
+ whole labels' contents for read only properties, show tooltips for
+ them in addition.
+ - QtTreePropertyBrowser - fixed painting of the editor for color
+ property type when style sheet is used (QTSOLBUG-64).
+ - Make it possible to change the style of the checkboxes with a
+ stylesheet (QTSOLBUG-61).
+ - Change the minimum size of a combobox so that it can show at
+ least one character and an icon.
+ - Make it possible to properly style custom embedded editors (e.g.
+ the color editor provided with the solution).
