* Important Notices *
****************************************************************************
Meta-Object System
------------------
Qt 4.0.0 introduced a change to the way type names outside the current
scope were handled in signals and slots declarations and connections
which differed from the behavior in Qt 3.x.
Unfortunately, this could lead to signal-slot connections that were
potentially type-unsafe. Therefore, in Qt 4.0.1 type names must be fully
qualified in signal-slot declarations and connections.
For example, in Qt 4.0.0, it was possible to write:
connect(socket, SIGNAL(error(SocketError)), ...);
In Qt 4.0.1, the above connection must be made in the following way:
connect(socket, SIGNAL(error(QAbstractSocket::SocketError)), ...);
Library
-------
Support for SGI Altix has been added for both gcc and Intel icc.
QX11EmbedContainer and QX11EmbedWidget are now exported classes.
This change only affects developers using Qt/X11 with gcc >= 4.0 and
symbol visibility enabled. Applications built against Qt 4.0.1 that
use these classes cannot be linked against Qt 4.0.0.
