Qt 4.3.2 is a bug-fix release. It maintains both forward and backward
compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 4.3.0 and Qt 4.3.1.
The Qt version 4.3 series is binary compatible with the 4.2.x, 4.1.x and
4.0.x series. Applications compiled for Qt 4.0, 4.1 or 4.2 will continue to
run with Qt 4.3.

Tools
-----
- Designer
* [175822] Fixed incorrect behavior of the widget editing mode that
could occur when a form was resized.

pending changes.

independent of the width of the text in the header.

an empty region.

when showing QTreeView with QSortFilterProxyModel and delayed layout
changes were pending.
