want to look at revision history older than this, please refer to the
Qt Git wiki for how to use Git history grafting. At the time of

If you have already performed the grafting and you don't see any
history beyond this commit, try running "git log" with the "--follow"
argument.

Qt 2.0 introduces a wide range of major new features as well as
2 
substantial improvements over the 1.x series.  The documentation has
3 
been significally extended and improved.
4
5 
This file will only give an overview of the main changes since version
6 
1.44.  A complete list would simply be too large to be useful.  For
7 
more detail see the online documentation which is included in this
8 
distribution, and also available on http://qt.nokia.com/doc/

10 
The Qt version 2.x series is not binary compatible with the 1.x
11 
series.  This means programs compiled with Qt version 1.x must be
12 
recompiled to work with Qt 2.0.
13
14 
Qt 2.0 is mostly, but not completely, source compatible with Qt 1.x.
15 
See the document "Porting from Qt 1.x to Qt 2.0" in the Online
16 
Reference Documentation for information on how to port an existing Qt
17 
1.x-based program to Qt 2.0.  Note in particular the automatic porting
18 
script included - it does a lot of the work for you.
19
20 
As for 1.x, the API and functionality of Qt is completely portable
21 
between Microsoft Windows and X11.  And between Windows 95, 98 and NT:
22 
Unlike most toolkits, Qt lets a single executable work on all three.
