****************************************************************************
+* Platform deprecation notice *
+****************************************************************************
+
+ - The support for the old implementation of QAtomicInt and
+ QAtomicPointer is deprecated in Qt 5.2 and will be removed in Qt
+ 5.3. Building with the following compilers or environments will not
+ be possible in Qt 5.3 or the build will suffer greatly in
+ performance, unless support is revived by writing new atomics code.
+ * Green Hills compiler for INTEGRITY
+ * Sun Studio compiler suite for Solaris
+ * IBM Visual Age compiler suite for AIX
+ * Kernel-mode VxWorks
+
+ Developers interested in picking up support should contact the
+ development mailing list at development@qt-project.org for more
+ information. Note that those platforms are currently not tested. Most
+ likely, they have further problems than just the atomics code.
