+Here is a list of user-visible changes in Qt from 1.2 to 1.30. As
+usual, we fixed some bugs, made some more speedups, and improved the
+documentation.
+
+Keyboard accelerators and traversal are significantly improved.
+
+Two new extensions included with Qt 1.30. They are not part of the library:
+
+Netscape plugin support. You can now write portable Netscape plugins
+using Qt. See the qt/extensions/nsplugin directory in the distribution.
+
+The ImageIO extension library gives a framework for adding new image
+formats, including PNG and JPEG in this release. See the qt/extensions/imageio
+directory in the distribution.
+
+The OpenGL extension for Qt now resides in qt/extensions.
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* New classes *
+****************************************************************************
+
+* QProgressBar displays a progress bar.
+
+* QProgressDialog uses QProgressBar to give the user feedback during long
+ operations, as well as a means of aborting.
+
+* QMovie supports animated GIFs and incremental loading of images.
+
+* QHBoxLayout and QVBoxLayout are convenience classes giving a simpler
+ interface to QBoxLayout.
+
+* QValidator provides a mechanism for validating input.
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Enhancements from 1.2 to 1.30 *
+****************************************************************************
+
+QFont now supports charsets latin1 through latin9.
+
+New command-line arguments: -style motif and -style windows are
+accepted, as well as -style=motif and -style=windows, -visual, -ncols,
+-cmap.
+
+QMultiLineEdit is usable for much bigger documents than in 1.2
+
+More sizeHint() functions added, some existing ones tweaked.
+
+Many widgets have improved look and feel, particularly changes to
+Windows GUI style to match Windows more closely.
+
+Improved Postscript output.
+
+Color handling has been improved; better 32-to-8 conversion; Qt
+prefers to use Macintosh/Netscape color cube in 8-bit mode; more and
+better dithering support.
+
+GIF and PPM support.
+
+QMessageBox has a number of new static functions to replace the
+venerable message(): information(), warning(), critical() and about().
+
+QPopupMenu can now display icon and text in the same item.
+
+QPopupMenu::exec() to pop up a synchronous popup menu.
+
+QListBox now supports multi selection.
+
+QWidget::setBackgroundMode() gives a powerful way of managing widget
+backgrounds, to reduce flicker.
+
+QWidget::setIcon() now works under both X11 and Windows.
+
+The file dialog now remembers the previously selected directory.
+
+QApplication::setWinStyleHighlightColor() sets the highlight color in
+windows style.
+
+QApplication::setDoubleClickInterval() sets the double click timeout
+
+The layout example is new and more informative.
+
+There is a new openGL example; extension/opengl/examples/box/ shows
+how to control an openGL widget using Qt user interface components.
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* Changes that might affect runtime behavior *
+****************************************************************************
+
+Tab/Shift-Tab handling has been improved a lot; this means that
+widgets which couldn't get keyboard focus before now can.
+
+Some widgets (buttons, tab bars, tab dialogs) semi-automatically set
+up keyboard accelerators. ( setText("E&xit") will give Alt-X as an
+accelerator.) In some very rare cases, this will cause changes of
+behaviour.
+
+The QColor::light() function now works, and anything which relied on
+its buggy behaviour might be a little darker than expected until changed,
+usually just recompiling (the default argument has also changed).
+
+The colors used have been tuned a bit; pixmaps that "know" the RGB
+values of colorGroup().background() and the like will look just a tiny
+bit wrong.
+
+QApplication calls setlocale to the local environment, except for
+LC_NUMERIC which is set to the C locale. This means that input/output
+of floating point numbers will always use '.' as the decimal separator,
+while all other locale dependant operations will use the default locale.
