Qt is a comprehensive cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt 4
|
|
|
|
|
introduces new features and many improvements over the 3.x series. See
|
|
|
|
|
http://qt.nokia.com/doc/latest/qt4-intro.html for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Qt 4.x series is not binary compatible or source compatible with
|
|
|
|
|
the 3.x series. For more information on porting from Qt 3 to Qt 4, see
|
|
|

HOW TO REPORT A BUG
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you think you have found a bug in Qt, we would like to hear about
|
|
|
|
|
it so that we can fix it. The Qt bug tracking system is open to the
|
|
|
|
|
public at http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before reporting a bug, please use the bug-tracker's search functions
|
|
|
|
|
and consult http://qt.nokia.com/developer/faqs/ to see if the issue is
|
|
|
|
|
already known.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Always include the following information in your bug report: the name
|
|
|
|
|
and version number of your compiler; the name and version number of
|
|
|
|
|
your operating system; the version of Qt you are using, and what
|
|
|
|
|
configure options it was compiled with.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the problem you are reporting is only visible at run-time, try to
|
|
|
|
|
create a small test program that shows the problem when run. Often,
|
|
|
|
|
such a program can be created with some minor changes to one of the many
|
|
|
|
|
example programs in Qt's examples directory, or to the autotests that
|
|
|
|
|
are available in the public source repository on http://qt.gitorious.org/.
