Here is a list of (major) changes in Qt from 0.95 to 0.96.
|
|
|
|
Bug-fixes, optimizations and improved documentation, of course.
|
|
QClipboard is new.
|
|
|
|
There are some changes in the API (Qt header files). Some functions have
|
|
been renamed or the arguments have changed. The old versions of these
|
|
functions have been obsoleted. A call to an obsoleted function will by
|
|
default generate a runtime warning the first time it is called, but it
|
|
will be executed correctly. If you really need to ship code fast, you can
|
|
turn off the runtime obsolescence warnings by calling
|
|
qSuppressObsoleteWarnings().
|
|
|
|
Obsoleted functions will disappear in a future release. To get
|
|
compile-time errors for each use of an obsoleted function, compile your
|
|
code with -DTEST_OBSOLETE. You should recompile without this option when
|
|
you have upgraded your code (otherwise, you may get linking errors).
|
|
Note: it is probably not a good idea to compile the Qt library with
|
|
-DTEST_OBSOLETE, it may cause problems if you try to link or run
|
|
programs that use obsoleted functions.
|
|
|
|
For new users: obsoleted functions are no longer documented, in fact they
|
|
are not even visible in the documentation.
|
|
|
|
*************** Changes that might affect runtime behavior *****************
|
|
|
|
QFileInfo:
|
|
----------
|
|
size() returns uint(previousy int), 0 if the size cannot be fetched (was -1).
|
|
Use isFile() to check.
|
|
|
|
|
|
QPopupMenu
|
|
------------
|
|
When a popup menu is a submenu (directly or as a subsub...menu) of a
|
|
menu bar(QMenuBar), the menu bar will now always emit the activated() or
|
|
highlighted() signal when a submenu emits these signals. This fix might
|
|
have undesired effects if you previously have worked around it by
|
|
connecting to signals both in menu bar and its submenus.
|
|
|
|
*************** Changes that might generate compile errors *****************
|
|
************** when compiling old code *****************
|
|
|
|
QDataStream:
|
|
-----------
|
|
Serialization of int and uint is no longer supported. Use INT32 and
|
|
UINT32 instead. This had to be changed in order to run Qt on 64-bit
|
|
architectures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
QImage:
|
|
-------
|
|
24-bpp pixel format no longer supported, use 32-bpp instead.
|
|
|
|
This means that you have to use uint* instead of uchar* when accessing
|
|
pixel values. You cannot use the uchar* pointer directly, because the
|
|
pixel format depends on the byte order on the underlying platform. Use
|
|
qRgb() and friends (qcolor.h) to access the pixels.
|
|
|
|
|
|
QWidget:
|
|
--------
|
|
setMouseTracking() does not return bool. Call hasMouseTracking() to
|
|
determine the mouse tracking state. (This only affects code that
|
|
actually uses the return value.)
|
|
|
|
(There are other changes in QWidget, see below)
|
|
|
|
|
|
*************** Type changes that might generate warnings: *****************
|
|
|
|
|
|
QCache/QIntCache:
|
|
-----------------
|
|
Using int/uint instead of long/ulong.
|
|
|
|
|
|
QDate/QTime/QDateTime:
|
|
----------------------
|
|
Using int/uint instead of long/ulong (MS-DOS required long).
|
|
|
|
|
|
QIODevice/QBuffer/QFile:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
Using int/uint instead of long/ulong.
|
|
|
|
|
|
QKeyEvent:
|
|
----------
|
|
ascii() now returns int (previously uchar).
|
|
|
|
|
|
QTableView:
|
|
------------
|
|
uint used instead of ulong (tableFlags() etc.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
QTextStream:
|
|
------------
|
|
int used instead of long (flags() etc.)
|
|
|
|
|
|

instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
QBitmap:
|
|
--------
|
|
Constructor takes "const uchar *bits" instead of "const char *"

|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
drawBezier() is obsolete, general Bezier curves are rarely used and
|

|
|
|
