Qt 4.5.2-tower
---------------

The Qt for S60 "Tower" release is the fifth pre-release from the Qt for
S60 porting project. "Tower" is based on the Qt 4.5 codebase.

Up to and including SHA: not yet started :D

Lists just S60 fixes, for general 4.5.0 changes go to:

  http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/changes/changes-4.5.0

Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers
corresponding to tasks in the Task Tracker:

  http://qtsoftware.com/developer/task-tracker

Each of these identifiers can be entered in the task tracker to obtain
more information about a particular change. Sometimes the task is internal
and cannot be viewed by the public, a lot of them are non-public for Qt for
S60 at the moment.

      when they are paged.
