+Qt 3.1 introduces many significant new features and many improvements
+over the 3.0.x series. This file provides an overview of the main
+changes since version 3.0.5. For further details see the online
+documentation which is included in this distribution, and also
+available at http://qt.nokia.com/doc/.
+
+The Qt version 3.1 series is binary compatible with the 3.0.x series:
+applications compiled for 3.0 will continue to run with 3.1.

+*                                 General                                  *
+****************************************************************************
+
+Qt Script for Applications
+--------------------------
+Qt 3.1 is the first Qt release that can be used with Qt Script for
+Applications (QSA). QSA provides a scripting engine, an IDE for
+creating and editing scripts and script forms, and bindings to the Qt
+API. Script-enabling a Qt application is not difficult and the IDE
+makes it easy for resellers and end-users to write their own scripts.
+QSA is due for release after Qt 3.1.
+
+
+Qt Designer
+-----------
+Qt Designer, the visual GUI builder, has undergone several usability
+improvements. A new dialog for creating and editing signals and slots
+connections has been created: it is much easier to use and much faster
+for setting up multiple connections. The widgets are now presented in
+an easy-to-use toolbox rather than in toolbars (although you can still
+have the toolbars if you want). The property editor now handles common
+properties in multiple widgets simultaneously. By popular demand,
+WYSIWYG support for QWidgetStack has been added. Rich text is now
+supported with a rich text editor. And the code editor can be used for
+ordinary member functions as well as for slots.
+
+
+Qt Assistant
+------------
+Qt Assistant, the Qt documentation browser, can now be used with
+custom documentation sets. This new functionality combined with the
+new QAssistantClient class means that you can use Qt Assistant as a
+help browser for your own applications. Qt Assistant has also been
+enhanced by the addition of a fast full text search engine.
+
+
+Motif
+-----
+The general industry-wide move away from Motif is leaving more and
+more companies in need of a migration solution. But converting large
+legacy applications in one step is often impractical. To minimize
+risks and to manage the workload companies often want to port code on
+a module by module basis. Qt 3.1 includeds a completely new Motif
+module that supports hybrid applications in which Qt code and Motif
+code coexist. (This obsoletes the earlier rudimentary Qt Xt/Motif
+extension.)
+
+
+ActiveX
+-------
+With the release of Qt 3.1, customers who use Qt for Microsoft Windows
+development can now use Qt with ActiveX. The new ActiveQt module
+provides a simple API for COM and ActiveX. The module can be used to
+create applications which host ActiveX controls, and also to create
+applications that serve ActiveX controls (e.g. Internet Explorer
+plugins).
+
+
+Qt/Mac
+------
+The introduction of Qt/Mac, a Mac OS X port of Qt, with Qt 3.0 has
+proved a great success. This port has undergone many improvements in
+Qt 3.1, especially with respect to Appearance Manager, anti-aliased
+text and user settings. The Qt OpenGL support is greatly improved, and
+uses the hardware-accelerated drivers.
+
+
+Qt/Embedded
+-----------
+Graphics, mouse and keyboard drivers can now be compiled as plugins.
+
+
+Qt library
+----------
+In addition to the new additions and enhancements referred to above,
+as with all major Qt releases, Qt 3.1 includes hundreds of
+improvements in the existing class library. Here is a brief summary of
+the most significant changes:
+
+- QTextEdit has a new text format: LogText. This is a performance and
+  memory optimized format especially designed for the fast display of
+  large amounts of text. The format supports basic highlighting,
+  including bold and colored text.
+
+- The new QSyntaxHighlighter class makes it both easy and efficient to
+  add syntax highlighting capabilities to a QTextEdit.
+
+- QHttp and QFtp in earlier Qt's were implementations of the
+  QNetworkProtocol. Both have been extended to stand in their own
+  right. If you missed some flexibility in the network protocol
+  abstractions of earlier Qt's, the new QHttp and QFtp classes should
+  provide the solution.
+
+- QAccel, used to handle keyboard shortcuts, now gracefully copes with
+  shortcut clashes. If a clash occurs, a new signal,
+  activatedAmbiguously(), is emitted. Classes that use QAccel, like
+  QButton and QPopupMenu, make use of this new functionality.
+  Futhermore QAccel can now handle multi-key sequences, for example,
+  Ctrl+X,Ctrl+F.
+
+- QClipboard has been extended to simplify data exchange between
+  programs.
+
+- Thread support: almost all methods in the tools classes have been
+  made reentrant. QApplication::postEvent() and a few other methods
+  are now thread-safe if Qt is compiled as a multi-threaded library.
+  (The documentation now states if a class or function is thread-safe
+  or reentrant.)
+
+- A QMutexLocker class has been added to simplify the locking and
+  unlocking of mutexes.
+
+- Input methods: A selectionLength() function has been added to
+  QIMEvent. Japanese compositions are now handled correctly. Support
+  for AIMM based input methods (those working on non-Asian versions of
+  Win95/98/Me) has been added.
+
+- Large File support: Qt's internals have been modified to support
+  Large Files (> 2GB). QFileDialog will now correctly display and
+  select Large Files.
+
+- SQL module: Support for prepared query execution and value binding
+  has been added. Among other benefits, this makes it possible to
+  write large BLOBs (> 2 KB) to Oracle databases, and to write Unicode
+  strings to SQL Server databases.
+
+
+Build process
+-------------
+The build process has been improved:
+
+- The configure script does not need QTDIR to be set anymore.
