Qt 4.7.2 is a bug-fix release. It maintains both forward and backward
compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 4.7.0. For more details,
refer to the online documentation included in this distribution. The
documentation is also available online:
http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.7The Qt version 4.7 series is binary compatible with the 4.6.x series.
Applications compiled for 4.6 will continue to run with 4.7.
Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers
corresponding to tasks in the Qt Bug Tracker or the Merge Request queue

****************************************************************************
* Platform Specific Changes *
****************************************************************************
Qt for Linux/X11
----------------
- [QTBUG-15008] Fix broken prefix setting in configure when EPOCROOT shell
variable is set.
Qt for Windows
--------------
- QtQuick
* [QTBUG-16885] QDeclarativeEngine::addImportPath() did not work if the
drive letter is in lowercase.
* [QTBUG-17360] Make sure $QTDIR/plugins/qmldebugging/tcpserver.dll is
found in windows release builds.
Qt for Mac OS X
---------------
- [QTBUG-13772] Returning form fullscreen mode causes assertion failure.
- [QTBUG-14023] Added missing plugins to debug-libs package.
- [QTBUG-14420] Switching from an application with undocked widgets hid the

Qt for Symbian
--------------
- Multimedia
* [QTBUG-17040] Prevent menu and native title pane area popping up when
setting fullscreen mode off during video playback.
- Packaging changes
* [QTBUG-17399] Remove sqlite3 from Qt SIS for S60 3.2 and 5.0 to allow
Nokia Content Signing, which doesn't permit sis files to have other
sis files embedded inside.
- Paging changes
* [QT-3503] Remove PAGED keyword from all Qt-based binaries for
MMP-based build systems (abld, SBSv2 (a.k.a. Raptor)).
This changes the code paging field in the Symbian (E32Image) header
from "paged" to "default". Thus it is left to the configuration
of the particular device whether paging is used for the binary or
not. All devices that support code paging should have it turned
on (the value is stored in the HAL, so can be checked using eg.
fshell); data paging may or may not be turned on depending on the
device characteristics. Leaving both code and data paging as
"default" means that any limitations in the device (eg. around
flash wear) can be controlled by that device by disabling the
appropriate types of paging rather than being forced by the binary
(which may be deployed to several different devices with different
characteristics).
- Phonon MMF backend
* [QTBUG-11436] Added a MediaObject property which allows the client to
specify which Internet Access Point should be used for streaming.

- QWidget
* [QTBUG-16578] In cases where the widget was created from the event loop
instead of main(), the middle three softkeys would not get the right
visibility and would leave a "hole" in the application where one could
see what was beneath it.
* [QT-4416, QTBUG-17288] On devices which lack support for transparency
in EGL surfaces, setting Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground on a widget
