1 Qt 2.0 Beta2 is not binary compatible with Beta1, this means that any
2 programs linked with Beta1 must be recompiled.
4 The most important fixes since Beta 1:
7 Fixed the libzlib typo.
8 Added -lflags argument.
11 Fixes for Borland C++, Solaris and AIX
14 Several user interface improvements
17 Plain text printing works again.
18 Multiple page printing fixed.
21 New widget flag WStyle_Dialog
24 Major changes since 1.4x:
26 The Qt version 2.x series is not binary compatible with the 1.x
27 series. This means programs compiled with Qt version 1.x must be
28 recompiled to work with Qt 2.0.
30 Qt 2.0 is mostly, but not completely, source compatible with Qt 1.x.
31 See the document "Porting from Qt 1.x to Qt 2.0" in the Online
32 Reference Documentation for information on how to port an existing
33 Qt 1.x-based program to Qt 2.0.
