+Qt 4.1 introduces many new features as well as many improvements and
+bugfixes over the 4.0.x series. For more details, see the online
+documentation which is included in this distribution. The
+documentation is also available at http://qt.nokia.com/doc/
+
+The Qt version 4.1 series is binary compatible with the 4.0.x series.
+Applications compiled for 4.0 will continue to run with 4.1.

+*                           General                                        *
+****************************************************************************
+
+Qt library
+----------
+
+- Introduced widget backing store support, allowing semi-transparent
+  (alpha-blended) child widgets and faster widget painting, as well
+  as solving long-lasting issues with non-rectangular widgets.
+
+- Integrated support for rendering Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
+  drawings and animations (QtSvg module).
+
+- A Portable Document Format (PDF) backend for Qt's printing system.
+
+- A unit testing framework for Qt applications and libraries.
+
+- Modules for extending Qt Designer and dynamic user interface
+  building.
+
+- Additional features for developers using OpenGL, such as support
+  for pixel and sample buffers.
+
+- A flexible syntax highlighting class based on the Scribe rich text
+  framework.
+
+- Support for network proxy servers using the SOCKS5 protocol.
+
+- Support for OLE verbs and MIME data handling in ActiveQt.
+
+- Support for universal binaries on Mac OS X.
+
+Qt Designer
+-----------
+
+- Added support for editing menu bars and tool bars.
+
+- Added support for adding comments to string properties.
+
+- Added new static QtUiTools library with improved
+  QUiLoader API for loading designer forms at run-time.
+
+- Added support for namespaces in uic generated code.
+
+- Added support for dock widgets in main windows.
+
+- Added support for editing table, tree and list widgets.
+
+- Improved palette editing and resource support.
+
+QTestLib
+--------
+
+- Added QTestLib, the Qt Unit Testing Library. See the "QTestLib"
+  chapter in the Qt documentation for more information.
+
+- Users of older versions of QtTestLib can use the updater utility in
+  tools/qtestlib/updater to convert existing autotests to work with
+  QTestLib.
+
+Boost
+-----
+
+Added boost compatible syntax for declaring signals and slots. If you
+define the macro QT_NO_KEYWORDS, "Q_SIGNALS" and "Q_SLOTS" are
+recognized as keywords instead of the default "signals" and "slots".
+Added a new keyword to qmake to enable this macro: CONFIG += no_keywords.
+
+ActiveQt
+--------
+
+QAxServer now supports mime-type handling - a ActiveX control can be
+registered to handle a certain file extension and mime-type, in which
+case QAxBindable::load and QAxBindable::save can be reimplemented to
+serialize the object.
+
+Build system
+------------
+
+Added support for linking static plugins into the application.
+
+Qt 3 to 4 Porting Tool
+----------------------
+
+Q(V|H)BoxLayout and QGridLayout usage is now ported to use
+Q3(V|H)BoxLayout/Q3GridLayout, to retain the margin/spacing behavior
+as in Qt 3.
+
+Meta Object Compiler (moc)
+--------------------------
+
+- Added support for const signals.
+
+Qt Assistant
+------------
+
+- Added -docPath command line option for easy setting of the
+  document root path.
+
+QMake
+-----
+
+- Added support for new FORMS3 profile variable to make it possible
+  to have Qt Designer forms from Qt 3 and Qt 4 in the same project.
+
+- Added support for precompiled headers on win32-g++ (MinGW)
+
+Compilers
+---------
+
+Added support for Solaris 10 on AMD64 with the compiler provided by
+Sun.

+  qToBigEndian endian helper conversion functions (qendian.h)
+
