As +usual, we fixed some bugs, made some more speedups, and improved the +documentation. + +Keyboard accelerators and traversal are significantly improved. + +Two new extensions included with Qt 1.30. They are not part of the library: + +Netscape plugin support. You can now write portable Netscape plugins +using Qt. See the qt/extensions/nsplugin directory in the distribution. + +The ImageIO extension library gives a framework for adding new image +formats, including PNG and JPEG in this release. See the qt/extensions/imageio +directory in the distribution. + +The OpenGL extension for Qt now resides in qt/extensions. + + +**************************************************************************** +* New classes * +**************************************************************************** + +* QProgressBar displays a progress bar. + +* QProgressDialog uses QProgressBar to give the user feedback during long + operations, as well as a means of aborting. + +* QMovie supports animated GIFs and incremental loading of images. + +* QHBoxLayout and QVBoxLayout are convenience classes giving a simpler + interface to QBoxLayout. + +* QValidator provides a mechanism for validating input. + + +**************************************************************************** +* Enhancements from 1.2 to 1.30 * +**************************************************************************** + +QFont now supports charsets latin1 through latin9. + +New command-line arguments: -style motif and -style windows are +accepted, as well as -style=motif and -style=windows, -visual, -ncols, +-cmap. + +QMultiLineEdit is usable for much bigger documents than in 1.2 + +More sizeHint() functions added, some existing ones tweaked. + +Many widgets have improved look and feel, particularly changes to +Windows GUI style to match Windows more closely. + +Improved Postscript output. + +Color handling has been improved; better 32-to-8 conversion; Qt +prefers to use Macintosh/Netscape color cube in 8-bit mode; more and +better dithering support. + +GIF and PPM support. + +QMessageBox has a number of new static functions to replace the +venerable message(): information(), warning(), critical() and about(). + +QPopupMenu can now display icon and text in the same item. + +QPopupMenu::exec() to pop up a synchronous popup menu. + +QListBox now supports multi selection. + +QWidget::setBackgroundMode() gives a powerful way of managing widget +backgrounds, to reduce flicker. + +QWidget::setIcon() now works under both X11 and Windows. + +The file dialog now remembers the previously selected directory. + +QApplication::setWinStyleHighlightColor() sets the highlight color in +windows style. + +QApplication::setDoubleClickInterval() sets the double click timeout + +The layout example is new and more informative. + +There is a new openGL example; extension/opengl/examples/box/ shows +how to control an openGL widget using Qt user interface components. + + +**************************************************************************** +* Changes that might affect runtime behavior * +**************************************************************************** + +Tab/Shift-Tab handling has been improved a lot; this means that +widgets which couldn't get keyboard focus before now can. + +Some widgets (buttons, tab bars, tab dialogs) semi-automatically set +up keyboard accelerators. ( setText("E&xit") will give Alt-X as an +accelerator.) In some very rare cases, this will cause changes of +behaviour. + +The QColor::light() function now works, and anything which relied on +its buggy behaviour might be a little darker than expected until changed, +usually just recompiling (the default argument has also changed). + +The colors used have been tuned a bit; pixmaps that "know" the RGB +values of colorGroup().background() and the like will look just a tiny +bit wrong. + +QApplication calls setlocale to the local environment, except for +LC_NUMERIC which is set to the C locale. This means that input/output +of floating point numbers will always use '.' as the decimal separator, +while all other locale dependant operations will use the default locale. + + +**************************************************************************** +* Changes that might generate compile errors * +* when compiling old code *
