+
+Qt 2.2.1 is a maintainance release. It keeps backward binary compatibility
+with Qt 2.1 and both forward and backward source compatibility with Qt 2.2.x.
+
+Qt 2.2.0 had a binary compatibility problem with the following:
+
+ bool QRect::contains( const QRect &r, bool proper=FALSE ) const
+
+Qt 2.2.1 corrects this. Programs compiled with 2.1.x now continue
+running with 2.2.1. Programs compiled with versions other than 2.2.0
+may not run with 2.2.0, so upgrading to 2.2.1 is additionally important.
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* General *
+****************************************************************************
+
+- Various compilation problems on particular platforms fixed
+
+- Many improvments in QThread. More platforms supported
+ (e.g. HPUX 11.x), uses native threads on Solaris rather than
+ compatibility posix threads
+
+- A few newly discovered memory leaks and free memory reads fixed
+
+- As usual, many minor bugfixes, too small to be mentioned here.
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Designer *
+****************************************************************************
+
+- in KDE mode: don't show all KDE widgets in the toolbars, since we do
+ not have icons for them (yet). They are accessible through the menu
+ structure, though.
+
+- Introduced concept of a global /etc/designerrc and a templatePath
+ for the sake of Linux Standard Base (LSB) and the way Linux
+ ditributors like to package the Qt Free Edition.
+
+- Support for tab names in a QTabWidget, and page names in a QWizard.
+
+- Support for button IDs in a button group, makes it possible to utilize
+ one single slot for all buttons in a group.
+

+ a unicode font)
+
+QHeader: removing labels fixed, important for QTable and QListView
+
+QIconView: drawing problem with missleading font metrices and
+ bounding rectangles fixed

+
+QLayout: synchronize the behaviour of sublayouts and subwidgets with
+ layouts.

+QPrinter: MS-Windows only: Fixed invalidation when setup dialog was
+ cancelled
+
+QSgiStyle: Small drawing problem with QTabBar fixed.
+ Fixed drawing of special prefix in menu items

+ the event loop on mouse events for widgets of type
+ WType_Popup.
+ X11 only: set input context when setting the active
+ window
+ X11 only: when dialogs were closed, the main window looked
+ like it lost focus with some window managers. This has been
+ fixed now.
+
+QWidgetStack: potential flicker issue fixed
+
+QWorkspace: normalize minimized children when they get focus
+ removed occasional flashing (e.g. when maximizing child
+ windows)
+ Look and feel adjustments to emulate MS-Windows even
+ closer
+ Documented that the active window can be 0 if there is no
+ active window
+ Slightly modifed the button decorations to be more general
+ and less KDE2 specific
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Changes that might affect runtime behavior *
+****************************************************************************
+
+QLayout:
+
+We synchronized the behaviour of sublayouts and subwidgets with
+layouts. This shows great effect in the designer, were you usually
+operate on container subwidgets in the design phase, but get a
+complete layout in the preview mode or the generated code. For
+example, the influence of a spacer item on a sublayout's size policy
+has been reduced. The modifications may slightly affect the layout of
+some dialogs.
+
+
