Qt 4.6.2 is a bug-fix release. It maintains both forward and backward
compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 4.6.0 and 4.6.1.  For more
details, refer to the online documentation included in this
distribution. The documentation is also available online:

  http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6

The Qt version 4.6 series is binary compatible with the 4.5.x series.
Applications compiled for 4.5 will continue to run with 4.6.

Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers
corresponding to tasks in the Qt Bug Tracker, the (now obsolete) Task
Tracker, or the Merge Request queue of the public source repository.

****************************************************************************
*                      Platform Specific Changes                           *
****************************************************************************

Qt for Linux/X11
----------------
 - Fix a bug where QPixmap::serialNumber was not set on a transformed pixmap
   in Qt/X11.
 - Fixed a crash when an input method tries to create a widget after the
   application is destroyed.
 - [QTBUG-6952] Fixed a problem using NoButtons in spinbox with QGtkStyle.
 - [QTBUG-7504] Fixed missing focus rect on check- and radiobutton with
    some GTK+ themes.
 - [QTBUG-6522] Fixed missing menu separator in some GTK+ themes.

Qt for Mac OS X
---------------

 - [QTBUG-7832]: Restored missing margins around non-unified toolbars.
 - [QTBUG-7312]: Menubar and dock disappear after hiding a fullscreen widget
   on Cocoa.
 - [QTBUG-7481]: Re-added the Close button in QPrintPreviewDialog for
   Mac/Carbon.
 - [QTBUG-7522]: Drawing fake buttons using QMacStyle+QStyleOptionViewItemV4
   lead to crash.
 - [QTBUG-7625]: Calling showFullScreen() then showNormal() on a widget results
   in top menu hiding.
 - [QTBUG-7086]: QFileDialog now correctly responds to fileMode & acceptMode
   changes.
 - [QTBUG-7162]: Fixed a crash in Designer when previewing a QMainWindow with
   native toolbar.
 - [QTBUG-7305]: Fixed a crash when deleting QMainWindow with native toolbar
   on Cocoa.
 - [QTBUG-6882]: Fixed a text layout issue with QHeaderView in right-to-left
   mode.

DirectFB
--------

 - Fix a bug where QPixmap::serialNumber was not set on a transformed pixmap
   in DirectFB.
 - Reimplement QPixmapData::scroll for QDirectFBPixmapData which optimizes
   QPixmap::scroll.
 - Fix a rendering issue for semi-transparent top level windows in DirectFB.
 - Make it possible to fall back to the raster engine for stretch blits in
   DirectFB using QT_NO_DIRECTFB_STRETCHBLIT.

Qt for Symbian
--------------

 - [QTBUG-6556] Improve the DEF file handling scheme, to allow simple enable/
   disable of DEF file usage (for use _during development only_ to decouple
   the need to update the DEF files at the precise point that symbols are
   removed, therefore allowing builds by CI systems to succeed even if symbols
   have been removed.  This does not remove the need to update the DEF files
   before release.  NOTE: Builds generated using this flag are not binary
   compatible with previous versions of Qt.)
 - QProcess
   * [QTBUG-7667] Fixed no-timeout case for QProcess::waitForFinished.
 - qmake
   * [QTBUG-7695] Added support for ifdeffing for manufacturer in generated

****************************************************************************
