****************************************************************************

Qt for Unix (X11 and Mac OS X)
------------------------------

 -

Qt for Linux/X11
----------------

    in Qt/X11.

    application is destroyed.

 - [QTBUG-7312]: Menubar and dock disappear after hiding a fullscreen widget on Cocoa.
 - [QTBUG-7481]: Re-added the Close button in QPrintPreviewDialog for Mac/Carbon.
 - [QTBUG-7522]: Drawing fake buttons using QMacStyle+QStyleOptionViewItemV4 lead to crash.
 - [QTBUG-7625]: Calling showFullScreen() then showNormal() on a widget results in top menu hiding.

Qt for Windows CE
-----------------

 -

Qt for Symbian
--------------

  * [QTBUG-6556] Improve the DEF file handling scheme, to allow simple enable/
    disable of DEF file usage (for use _during development only_ to decouple
    the need to update the DEF files at the precise point that symbols are
    removed, therefore allowing builds by CI systems to succeed even if symbols
    have been removed.  This does not remove the need to update the DEF files
    before release.  NOTE: Builds generated using this flag are not binary
    compatible with previous versions of Qt.)
