There are eleven new widget classes in 1.40. Asynchronous I/O +support is now in the official Qt API. + +Since Qt no longer supports any platforms that only supports 8.3 +format file names, the file names of the Qt source and include files +have been made simpler. #include <qcombobox.h> instead of qcombo.h, +etc. The old names are still present for compatibility. + +The new Qt Xt/Motif Extension allows Qt widgets and applications to +coexist with old Xt/Motif-based applications and widgets. + +There are more than one hundred new functions added to existing +classes and, as usual, we fixed some bugs, made some more speedups, +and improved the documentation. + + +**************************************************************************** +* New classes * +**************************************************************************** + +* New widgets + + QHeader - Table header + QListView - Multicolun listview/treeview + QMainWindow - Application main window + QScrollView - Scrolling area (successor of QwViewPort) + QSpinBox - Spin button + QSplitter - Paned window + QStatusBar - Status bar + QToolBar - Container for tool buttons (and other widgets) + QToolButton - Fancy push button with auto-raise + QWhatsThis - Light weight help system + QWidgetStack - Stack of widgets + +* Support classes + + QFileIconProvider - Provides icons for the file dialog + QIconSet - Set of icons for different states + QListViewItem - Content of a QListView + QCheckListItem - Checkable list view item + +* Drag and drop related classes + + QDragObject + QStoredDrag + QTextDrag + QImageDrag + QDragManager + QDropSite + +* Asynchronous I/O + + QAsyncIO + QDataPump + QDataSink + QDataSource + QDataStream + QIODeviceSource + QImageConsumer + QImageDecoder + QImageFormat + QImageFormatType + + +* New Events + + QShowEvent + QHideEvent + QDragMoveEvent + QDragEnterEvent + QDragResponseEvent + QDragLeaveEvent + QDropEvent + QChildEvent + + + +**************************************************************************** +* Enhancements from 1.33 to 1.40 * +**************************************************************************** + +The file and print dialogs are far better. + +Layouts will now automatically readjust if child widgets change +maximum/minimum sizes, or are deleted. + +QFont now supports KOI8R + +The reference documentation of the extensions is now integrated with +the main reference documentation in the qt/html directory. + +**************************************************************************** +* Changes that might affect runtime behavior * +**************************************************************************** + +None known. + + +**************************************************************************** +* Changes that might generate compile errors * +* when compiling old code * +**************************************************************************** + +none + +**************************************************************************** +* Type changes that might generate warnings: * +**************************************************************************** + +none + +**************************************************************************** +* Deprecated functions * +**************************************************************************** +Old function: Replaced by: +------------- ----------- +QPixmap::isOptimized QPixmap::optimization +QPixmap::optimize QPixmap::setOptimization +QPixmap::isGloballyOptimized QPixmap::defaultOptimization +QPixmap::optimizeGlobally QPixmap::setDefaultOptimization + + +**************************************************************************** +* New global functions +**************************************************************************** + + bitBlt( QImage* dst, int dx, int dy, const QImage* src, + int, int, int, int, int conversion_flags );
