Initial import from the monolithic Qt.
This is the beginning of revision history for this module. If you want to look at revision history older than this, please refer to the Qt Git wiki for how to use Git history grafting. At the time of writing, this wiki is located here: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/pages/GitIntroductionWithQt If you have already performed the grafting and you don't see any history beyond this commit, try running "git log" with the "--follow" argument. Branched from the monolithic repo, Qt master branch, at commit 896db169ea224deb96c59ce8af800d019de63f12

+Here is a list of user-visible changes in Qt from 1.1 to 1.2. As
+usual, we fixed some bugs, made some more speedups, and improved the
+documentation.
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Changes that might affect runtime behavior *
+****************************************************************************
+
+QGridLayout::addWidget() and addMultiCellWidget(): The align parameter
+is now interpreted correctly. (Previously up/down and right/left were
+reversed.) If you have worked around this bug, your widgets may now be
+incorrectly aligned.
+
+QWidget: Every widget is now guaranteed move and resize events. The
+event is deferred until the first show(). This may cause problems in
+rare cases involving event filters.
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Changes that might generate compile errors *
+* when compiling old code *
+****************************************************************************
+
+none
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Type changes that might generate warnings: *
+****************************************************************************
+
+none
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Deprecated functions *
+****************************************************************************
+
+QApplication::setColorMode() and colorMode() will be obsoleted. Use
+setColorSpec() and colorSpec() instead.
+
+qchecksum() will be obsoleted. Please use qChecksum() instead.
+
+****************************************************************************
+* New classes *
+****************************************************************************
+
+QSlider is a widget to input values from a range. If you have been
+using a standalone QScrollBar, you will probably want to switch to a
+QSlider.
+
+OpenGL/Mesa support: QGLWidget, QGLContext and QGLFormat. To use these
+classes you need to build the Qt/OpenGL library (qgl) in qt/opengl/src.
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Other changes from 1.1 to 1.2 *
+****************************************************************************
+
+QApplication::setColorSpec() can specify private colormaps or
+non-default visuals
+
+New function QButton::setAutoRepeat().
+
+QComboBox: New function currentText(), two new insertion policies:
+AfterCurrent and BeforeCurrent.
+
+QCursor: added new global cursor blankCursor.
+
+QFont::key(), new function for caching.
+
+QFontMetrics::QFontMetrics( const QFont& ) new constructor gives
+fontmetrics directly for a font. This is much faster than using
+QWidget::fontMetrics() or QPainter::fontmetrics().
+
+QImage: image load/save functions:
+ QImage( const char *filename )
+ imageFormat(), load(), loadFromData(), save()
+ operator>>(), operator<<()
+ XPM support, QImage( const *xpm[] )
+ Alpha channel support:
+ hasAlphaBuffer(), setAlphaBuffer()
+ createAlphaMask(),
+ Automatic mask generaton: createHeuristicMask()
+ Filling the entire image: fill()
+
+QLCDNumber now supports filled segments:
+ setSegmentStyle(), segmentStyle()
+
+QLabel now supports accellerated labels:
+ setBuddy(), buddy() and a new constructor.
+
+QLineEdit new functions:
+ show/hide frame: setFrame(), frame()
+ password entry mode: setEchoMode(), echoMode()
+
+QMouseEvent: x() and y() convenience functions.
+
+QPainter: new constructor QPainter( const QPaintDevice* ) does automatic
+begin() and end(). New function flush().
+
+QPixmap new functions:
+ serialNumber() for caching purposes.
+ selfMask() QPixmap( const char *xpm[] )
+ createHeuristicMask()
+
+QPopupMenu: Added functions to enable checkmarks:
+ setCheckable(), isCheckable()
+
+QScrollBar: sizeHint() implemented.
+
+QTabBar now supports keyboard input. New function currentTab().
+
+QTabDialog: new function setOKButton().
+
+Added support for XFree86 on OS/2.
+
+New examples:
+ examples/tooltip demonstrates dynamic tooltips
+ examples/table demonstrates QTableView
+ examples/hello is a different program
+
+examples/xshape has been removed.
