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