+Here is a list of user-visible changes in Qt from 1.0 to 1.1. As
+usual, we fixed some bugs, made some more speedups, and improved the
+documentation.
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Changes that might affect runtime behavior *
+****************************************************************************
+
+We've added keyboard interface to more widgets, and changed the
+default focus policy radically. For example, by default you can TAB
+to button, but it does not grab focus when you click it. The new
+QWidget::setFocusPolicy() function can be used to change focus policy
+for all widgets.
+
+The font matching algorithm has been tweaked in order to provide more
+predictable fonts in more cases. For some users (such as those with a
+75dpi X server and only 100dpi fonts installed) it may change the
+output of some programs.
+
+sizeHint() and hence default size has been tweaked for some widgets;
+QMenuBar and QPushButton in particular.
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Changes that might generate compile errors *
+* when compiling old code *
+****************************************************************************
+
+We've renamed "declare" in qgeneric.h to Q_DECLARE due to naming
+conflicts. Though we try to provide backward compatibility, there may
+be problems for a few programs.
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Type changes that might generate warnings: *
+****************************************************************************
+
+none
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Obsoleted functions *
+****************************************************************************
+
+none
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* New classes *
+****************************************************************************
+
+QTabDialog (and QTabBar) provide a tabbed dialog. examples/pref shows
+simple usage of QTabDialog.
+
+QMultiLineEditor is the long-awaited multi-line editor.
+
+QGridLayout provides grid-like geometry management for any widget,
+with flexible row/column elasticity, minimum and maximum sizes.
+
+QBoxLayout provides more complex and powerful geometry management:
+boxes and widgets stacked inside other boxes, and finally a top-level
+box connected to a widget.
+
+QToolTip provides tool tips for any widget.
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Other changes from 1.0 to 1.1 *
+****************************************************************************
+
+Added QApplication::setColorMode() and colorMode().
+
+Added QColor::setAllocContext() and friends; these functions enable
+applications to allocate discardable colors and then discard them.
+
+Removed some GNU-make features from the makefiles.
+
+Added a QPalette constructor to construct an entire palette from a single
+background color, for convenience.
+
+moc output now has a version number #define.
+
+AIX support added. IRIX and NetBSD fixed.
+
+Rewrote a couple of functions to work around compiler bugs, or
+purify/boundschecker overzealousness.
+
+Fixed that ugly man-page SYNOPSIS bug.
+
+Added the static function QMessageBox::query().
+
+QRect::unite() now produces the desired results if exactly one of the
+rectangles is invalid.
+
+QObject::parent() is now public.
+
+QPainter::drawWinFocusRect() draws a Windows 95-style focus rectangle.
+(A focus rectangle can not be drawn using ordinary Windows drawing
+functions.)
+
+QApplication::processEvents() added to cater for long-running
+computations; it processes one round of window system events and
+timers and then returns.
+
+QComboBox has been extended to provide an editable combo box and Motif
+2.x compatible look and feel.
+
+We've also added a host of new workarounds for bugs in Borland C++,
+Microsoft VC++, DEC CXX and HP CC.
