Qt 4.7.1 is a bug-fix release. It maintains both forward and backward compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 4.7.0. For more details, refer to the online documentation included in this distribution. The documentation is also available online: http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.7 The Qt version 4.7 series is binary compatible with the 4.6.x series. Applications compiled for 4.6 will continue to run with 4.7. 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.

Therefor the scale factors are initialized to 1.0 and for every new sequence the totalScaleFactor is multiplied with the scaleFactor of the new sequence. - QLineEdit * [QTBUG-13520] Fixed the scrolling of text with right alignment - QPixmap * [QTBUG-12560] Fixed a regression preventing loading images without extensions QtDBus ------ QtMultimedia ------------ QtNetwork --------- - QSslConfiguration * [QTBUG-13265] fix crash with empty configuration - QSslCertificate * [QTBUG-12489] support dates > 2049 - Bearer Management * Improved reliability on Symbian and Maemo.

QtOpenVG -------- QtWebKit -------- QtSql ----- QtSvg ----- QtXmlPatterns ------------- - XML Schema internals: * [QTBUG-11559] Only parse 3 digits of time fraction QtDeclarative ------------- - QML debugging: * [QTBUG-5162] The debugger is now activated with -qmljsdebugger command line arg to enable support for platforms without environment variables Qt Plugins ---------- - Jpeg image IO plugin * [QTBUG-13653] Fixed infinite loop when loading jpeg without EOI marker from memory. **************************************************************************** * Platform Specific Changes * **************************************************************************** Qt for Unix (X11 and Mac OS X) ------------------------------ - Event System: * [QT_3553] Fix invalid memory write during recursive timer activation. Qt for Linux/X11 ---------------- - The configure script now detects all vector extensions of x86 and x86_64 Qt for Windows -------------- - Event System: * [QTBUG-12721] Fix Qt applications freezing until mouse/keyboard events occur. - Drag & Drop: * [QTBUG-13787] Fixed a possible crash with mingw - QPrinter * [QTBUG-12263] Strokes were in some cases not printed with the correct color under Windows. - QGLWidget * [QTBUG-13141] Fixed multi-sampling support for ATI based cards under Windows. Qt for Mac OS X --------------- - The configure script now detects all vector extensions of x86 and x86_64 * [QTBUG-10500] Fixed a bug which causes the QMainWindow geometry to be calculated wrongly, when used with native toolbars. * [QTBUG-13878] Application menu entries can now also be translated using the QMenuBar context. Qt for Symbian -------------- - configure * [QTBUG-11671] Fixed audio-backend detection in configure tests. - qmake * [QTBUG-13523] Added support for using -L notation in the LIBS variable when building with the symbian/linux-armcc or gcce mkspec. - QInputContext * [QTBUG-12949] Fixed a bug where passwords would not be committed when confirming. * [QTBUG-13472] Fixed crash in input methods when using symbols menu and numbers only. **************************************************************************** * Tools * **************************************************************************** - Designer - uic * Improve warnings and error reports **************************************************************************** * Important Behavior Changes * ****************************************************************************
