... and deprecate the old registerTimer() functions. The new pure-
virtual registerTimer() breaks source-compatibility. Subclasses cannot
be instantiated anymore, since the pure virtual function signature has
changed.
QAbstractEventDispatcher::TimerInfo is no longer a QPair. It is now a
struct with timerId, interval, and timerType members. This is a source
incompatibility that should only affect subclasses of
QAbstractEventDispatcher, which will need to pass 3 arguments to the
TimerInfo constructor instead of 2. If the subclass used QPair<int,int>
instead of the TimerInfo typedef, the QPair<int,int> declarations will
need to be replaced with TimerInfo.
Call the new registerTimer() function with the type from
QObject::startTimer(). Change all subclasses of QAbstractEventDispatcher
to reimplement the new virtual function. The type argument is unused at
the momemnt, except to ensure that registeredTimers() returns the type
each timer was registered with. Implementations for the various
dispatchers will be done in separate commits.

This is Qt version %VERSION%.
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
http://qt.nokia.com/doc/latest/porting4.html.
INSTALLING Qt
If you have a source package (a .tar.gz, or .zip file), follow the
instructions in the INSTALL file.
On Windows and Mac OS X, if you want to install the precompiled binary
packages, simply launch the package and follow the instructions in the
installation wizard.
For Mac OS X Carbon, the binary package requires Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or
later and GCC 4.0.1 to develop applications. Its applications will run
on Mac OS X 10.4 and above.
For Mac OS X Cocoa, the binary package requires Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or
later and GCC 4.0.1 to develop applications. Its applications will run
on Mac OS X 10.5 and above.
If you want to install the precompiled binary package for Symbian,
follow these instructions:
http://qt.nokia.com/doc/%SHORTVERSION%/install-symbian-installer.html
EXAMPLES
Once Qt is installed, we suggest that you take a look at the examples
to see Qt in action.
For desktop computers, run the Qt Examples by opening them in Qt Creator.
For embedded devices, launch the Qt 'fluidlauncher' example, either through
the platforms filebrowser or the built in menu system.
REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION
The Qt reference documentation is available locally in Qt's doc/html
directory. You can use Qt Assistant to view it; to launch Assistant,
type 'assistant' on the command line or use the Start menu. On Mac OS
X, you can find it in /Developer/Applications/Qt. The latest
documentation is available at http://qt.nokia.com/doc/.
SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
For a complete list of supported platforms, see
http://qt.nokia.com/doc/%SHORTVERSION%/supported-platforms.html.
COMMERCIAL EDITIONS
Desktop Edition licensees can use all the modules provided with their
Qt package.
GUI Framework licensees may only use the classes contained in
the QtCore, QtGui (except QGraphicsView), QtTest, QtDBus and
Qt3Support modules.
For a full listing of the contents of each module, please refer to

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/.
