Qt 4.7.2 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 or the Merge Request queue
of the public source repository.

      either of these cases; now, it is sent in both cases.

 - Paging changes
    * [QT-3503] Remove PAGED keyword from all Qt-based binaries for
      MMP-based build systems (abld, SBSv2 (a.k.a. Raptor)).
      This changes the code paging field in the Symbian (E32Image) header
      from "paged" to "default".  Thus it is left to the configuration
      of the particular device whether paging is used for the binary or
      not.  All devices that support code paging should have it turned
      on (the value is stored in the HAL, so can be checked using eg.
      fshell); data paging may or may not be turned on depending on the
      device characteristics.  Leaving both code and data paging as
      "default" means that any limitations in the device (eg. around
      flash wear) can be controlled by that device by disabling the
      appropriate types of paging rather than being forced by the binary
      (which may be deployed to several different devices with different
      characteristics).

 - Phonon MMF backend
   * [QTBUG-11436] Added a MediaObject property which allows the client to
     specify which Internet Access Point should be used for streaming.

 - QNetworkProxyFactory
   * [QTBUG-13857] Added systemProxyForQuery() for Symbian, allowing
     network proxies configured on the device to be used by applications.

 - QApplication
   * [QTBUG-15915] Fix crash when creating more than one QApplication in single test case.

 - QDesktopWidget
   * [QTBUG-16095] Resize event for QDesktopWidget was sent too early.

 - QFileDialog
   * [QTBUG-16204] Fix using QFileDialog statics in Symbian.

 - QDialog
   * [QTBUG-16277] Fix fullscreen/Maximized dialog misplacement in Symbian.

 - QSystemSemaphore
   * [QTBUG-16615] Fix QSystemSemaphore handle management issues in Symbian.

 - QLineEdit
   * [QTBUG-16238] Fix one character displacement for cursor in line edits.

 - QtScript
    * [QTBUG-16685] Fix crash in JavaScript stack allocator.
    * [QTBUG-15847] Add compiler optimizations.
    * [QTBUG-14293] Enhanced JavaScript heap allocator.

 - qmake & mkspecs
   * [QT-4193] Only add ICON for application projects in symbianpkgrules.pri
   * [QTBUG-13159] Allow pkg_prerules and pkg_postrules to be targeted to separate files.
   * [QTBUG-13367] Make default application deployment removable & added .flags modifier
      support for DEPLOYMENT items in Symbian.
   * [QTBUG-14280] Implement support for DEPLOYMENT.display_name in Symbian.
   * [QTBUG-13917] Localize .loc and .pkg content based on TRANSLATIONS.
   * [QTBUG-15159] Use include(original mkspec) instead of copying of mkspec to default.
   * [QTBUG-15393] Resolve EPOCROOT in qt.conf using same logic as in .pro.
   * [QTBUG-15501] Fix symbian-mmp.conf include path.
   * [QTBUG-15539] Use parent class function to generate Makefile headers in Symbian.
   * [QTBUG-14472] Add NetworkServices capability automatically for network apps
   * [QTBUG-14736] Add libinfix support for QML plugins in Symbian.
   * [QT-4375] Fix incorrect file name case for OpenGL libraries in symbian.conf.
   * [QTBUG-16172] Use relative include instead of absolute in default qmake.conf.
   * [QTBUG-16221] Fix libinfixed usage in Symbian when def files are used.
   * [QTBUG-16261] Fix infinite loop in qmake when reading malformed .ts files.
   * [QTBUG-16298] Ignore static_and_shared in Symbian builds.
   * [QTBUG-13769] Generate freeze targets in Symbian.
   * [QTBUG-16691] Remove toolcheck from generic clean targets for symbian-sbsv2.
   * [QT-4476] Fixed UTF-8 application names in device application menu in Symbian.
   * [QTBUG-16753] Improved QMAKE_POST_LINK support in symbian-sbsv2.
   * [QTBUG-16881] Fix QMAKE_POST_LINK in Symbian for targets with special characters.
   * [QTBUG-16888] No longer replace dash and dot in TARGET with underscore in Symbian.
   * Fix partial upgrade package UID for libinfixed Qt.
   * Cleaned up sis_targets.prf.

 - Tool scripts
   * [QTBUG-13886] Disallow patching capabilities of executables.
   * [QTBUG-13891] Add Location as self signable capability in patch_capabilities.pl.
   * [QTBUG-15561] Only patch package content that is necessary for self-signing.
   * Fix epocroot handling in createpackage.pl script.
   * Unify epocroot usage in createpackage and patch_capabilities scripts.

 - qtmain.lib
   * [QTBUG-14735] Use qtmain.lib to provide entry point for all Symbian applications.

 - QWidget
    * [QT-4416, QTBUG-17288] On devices which lack support for transparency
      in EGL surfaces, setting Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground on a widget
      whose windowType() is Qt::Window causes that widget to be rendered
      using the raster graphics system.
