1177 * [228017] - QMenu will now close when expanding a system menu.
1178 * Added support for Qt to use Cocoa as its backend instead of Carbon. This
1179 is primarily for 64-bit applications, but is also available for 32-bit

1181 architecture or -cocoa on the command-line will build Qt against Cocoa.
1182 Using Cocoa requires Mac OS X 10.5 (or higher) and cannot be used with
1183 the -static nor -no-frameworks option. The define QT_MAC_USE_COCOA is
1184 available when Qt is built against Cocoa.

1196 event loop source, like timers and normal input events. This means that
1197 is should no longer be necessary to run a busy loop to sendPostedEvents()
1198 when QApplication is not the main event loop (e.g. when using Qt in a
1200 * [239646] Shortcuts for sub-menu are now disabled when the menu item is

1426 ****************************************************************************
1428 ****************************************************************************
1433 ****************************************************************************
1434 * Important Behavior Changes *
1435 ****************************************************************************
1440 On Mac, native dialogs are now used when calling show, open, or exec
1441 on a QFileDialog, QColorDialog, QPrintDialog, or QFontDialog (i.e not
1442 only when using the static functions)
1444 QFileDialog/QFileSystemModel always return Qt separators ("/")
1445 regardless of the platform. It can still handle native separators for
1446 Windows. To convert the Qt separators to native separators use
1447 QDir::toNativeSeparators().
1450 Tab input is send to the document by default, inserting a <tab>
1451 character. You can get the old behavior of switching Tab focus by
1452 setting setTabChangesFocus(true) (QGraphicsTextItem's Tab handling now
1453 behaves identically to QTextEdit and QTextBrowser).
1456 QGraphicsView now propagates Qt::Key_Tab and Qt::Key_Backtab to the
1457 scene, which sends this to the items. Similar to how QWidget works,
1458 this event is caught in QGraphicsItem::sceneEvent() and
1459 QGraphicsWidget::event() to handle tab input. Tab input is also
1460 proxied to embedded widgets. This allows and item or widget to handle
1461 Tab keys (e.g., text input).
1464 The locale database was updated to the Unicode CLDR database
1467 When the system locale is changed, the LocaleChange event will
1468 be sent to all widgets that don't have a locale explicitely
1472 Starting with Qt 4.5, the base brush is used for the default
1473 background color of the web page. Before, it was the background
1477 Font and palette settings assigned to QWidget directly take
1478 precedence over application fonts and palettes.
1480 Focus policies that are set on a widget are now propagated to
1481 a focus proxy widget if there is one.
1483 Windows with fixed size (that are set with QWidget::setFixedSize()
1484 function or Qt::MSWindowsFixedSizeDialogHint window hint) might
1485 not have a maximize button on the titlebar.
1487 The behaviour of the window hints was changed to follow the
1488 documentation. When the Qt::CustomizeWindowHint is set, the
1489 window will not have a titlebar, system menu and titlebar
1490 buttons unless the corresponding window hints were explicitely
1493 Setting Qt::WA_PaintOnScreen no longer has any effect on
1494 normal widgets. The flag can still be used in conjuction with
1495 reimplementing paintEngine() to return 0 so that GDI or
1496 DirectX can be used, as previously documented.
