+****************************************************************************
+* For users *
+****************************************************************************
+
+General
+-------
+
++ A strange character inversion problem on some input methods has been
+ fixed
+
+
+Input methods
+-------------
+
+- Added "simple" input method which provides dead/multi key composing
+ for latin languages
+
+
+User Interface
+--------------
+
+- Added input method selection menu in the context menu of text
+ widgets
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
++ default IM configuration feature of qtconfig has been disabled in BC
+ mode. This is a political change to avoid the confusion about input
+ method configuration in accordance with GTK+ environment.
+
+ See following discussion for further information.
+
+ http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/immodule-qt/2004-August/000416.html
+
+- Added new environment variables TQT_IM_SWITCHER and TQT_IM_MODULE to
+ set user's favorite input method as default. See README.immodule for
+ examples.
+
+
+Build & Install
+---------------
+
++ configure options have been changed for internal reasons. See 'How
+ to install' section of README.immodule
+
+- This version of immodule requires corresponding version of each
+ input method plugins (i.e. update your additional input method
+ plugins)
+
+- Plugin directory has been changed from $TQTDIR/plugins/input/ to
+ $TQTDIR/plugins/inputmethods/. Delete old directory.
+
+- Some codes have been changed to allow compiling against TQt 3.2.x or
+ earlier.
+
+
+****************************************************************************
+* For develpers *
+****************************************************************************
+
+Documents
+---------
+
+- Almost description of TQInputContext and TQInputContextPlugin has been
+ filled. Feel free to ask obscure things at our mailinglist.
+
+
+New features
+------------
+
+- Pluggable input method switcher
+
+ Now we can write input method switcher as an ordinary input method
+ plugin. The two plugins 'imsw-multi' and 'imsw-none' are provided as
+ default. But the architecture needs more discussion about whether
+ the design is right or not. Join the discussion.
+
+- Pluggable popup menu
+
+ Any input method can provide its own popup menu. See
+ http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/immodule-qt/2004-August/000266.html
+ for further information.
+
+- TQInputContext proxying
+
+ Some methods of TQInputContext have been changed to enable
+ TQInputContext proxying. This feature is required to implement
+ pluggable input method switcher.
+
+
+General
+-------
+
++ TQInputContext has been source compatible with TQt4 version. Basic
+ input method plugin can be source compatible without #ifdef. Only
+ pluggable popup menu requires #ifdef'ed different code. In addition,
+ be careful about use of classes that is deprecated in TQt4.
+
+- Our two development tree for TQt3 'Binary Compatible' and 'ALL' have
+ been merged into this unified source tree. The source tree is called
+ 'Unified' patch.
+
+- 'dead keys' for latin languages have been added into TQt::Key
+
+- Added plugins/src/inputmethods directory to build input method
+ plugins within the TQt source tree. The directory name 'inputmethods'
+ is intended to be compatible with TQt/Embedded. Install directory
+ name is still kept as 'input' for backward compatibility
+
+- Changed XIM input method to a plugin instead of directly link into
+ libqt
+
+- Plugin directory has been changed from $TQTDIR/plugins/input/ to
+ $TQTDIR/plugins/inputmethods/. Replace install directory with new
+ one.
+
+- Fixed some bugs in previous qt-x11-immodule-bc-qt3.3.2-20040623. See
+ following log for more detail.
+
+ * src/kernel/tqwidget_x11.cpp
+ - (destroyInputContext): Replace the code with original Simplified
+ API patch. See the comment to recognize the original intention
+ - (focusInputContext): Fix a condition to call qic->setFocus() as
+ originally written. See added comment to recognize the original
+ intention
+
+- TQLocale dependency has been removed to be compiled on TQt 3.2.x or
+ earlier
+
+- Many internal improvements and cleanups
+
+
+API Changes in qt-x11-immodule-unified-qt3.3.3-20040910
+-------------------------------------------------------
++ TQInputContext
+
+ * TQInputContext()
+
+ Added 'tqparent' arg to be compatible with TQt4. Since the arg
+ defaults to 0, no modification of plugins are required.
+
+ * language()
+ * identifierName()
+
+ Return type of these two methods have been changed from TQCString
+ which is deprecated in TQt4 to TQString to make plugins source
+ compatible with TQt4.
+
+ * addActionsTo()
+
+ New method for TQt4 text widget developer
+
+
+API Changes in qt-x11-immodule-unified-qt3.3.3-20040812
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+- TQInputContext proxying
+
+ TQInputContext have been changed as follows to enable TQInputContext
+ proxying.
+
+ 1. Use signal to deliver TQIMEvent instead of explicit
+ postEvent(). This enables TQIMEvent proxying and better platform
+ abstraction. Corresponding slot is created as
+ TQApplication::imEventReceived().
+
+ 2. Move some methods of TQInputContext to public from protected or
+ private. This enables that proxy-IM can access slave methods.
+
+ 3. Make some methods of TQInputContext virtual. This enables
+ overriding the methods as proxy
+
+ 4. Rename TQInputContext::name() to identifierName() to avoid
+ conflicting with TQObject::name()
+
+
+- TQInputContext
+
+ * language()
+
+ New method to indicate current language
+
+ * menus()
+
+ New method for the pluggable popup menu feature
+
+ * addMenusTo()
+
+ New method for text widget developer
+
+ * deletionRequested()
+
+ New signal to request deletion of this instance. This is added for
+ fatal error handling
+
+ * identifierName()
+
+ This replaces name() of previous API to avoid conflicting with
+ TQObject::name(), and to distinguish the role from displayName()
+
+ * filterEvent()
+
+ Turn the argument into const. See
+ http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/immodule-qt/2004-August/000335.html
+ for further information
+
+ * isComposing
+ * isPreeditRelocationEnabled
+
+ Move to public from protected to allow proxying
+
+ * setFocusWidget
+ * setHolderWidget
+ * releaseComposingWidget
+
+ Move to public from private to allow proxying
+
+ * tqfocusWidget
+ * holderWidget
+
+ - Make public from protected to allow proxying
+ - Make virtual to allow overriding the method as proxy
+
+- TQInputContextPlugin
+
+ * languages()
+
+ New method which returns what languages are supported by the
+ TQInputContext instance
+
+ * displayName()
+
+ New method which returns a user friendly i18n-ized name of the
+ TQInputContext instance
+
+ * description()
+
+ New method which returns a i18n-ized brief description of the
+ TQInputContext instance
