on Cocoa.
- [QTBUG-7481]: Re-added the Close button in QPrintPreviewDialog for
Mac/Carbon.

lead to crash.

Qt for Symbian
--------------
- [QTBUG-6556] Improve the DEF file handling scheme, to allow simple enable/
disable of DEF file usage (for use _during development only_ to decouple
the need to update the DEF files at the precise point that symbols are
removed, therefore allowing builds by CI systems to succeed even if symbols
have been removed. This does not remove the need to update the DEF files
before release. NOTE: Builds generated using this flag are not binary
compatible with previous versions of Qt.)
