v3.17.2 25th April 2007
  - A minor bug fix release for a regression in v3.17.1.

v3.17.1 10th April 2007
  - This version requires SIP v4.6 (or later).
  - Changes to ensure compatibility with future SIP releases.

v3.17 4th November 2006

  - Added the missing QListView.setSelectionAnchor() method.
  - Added the missing QStringList.__iadd__(QString) method.
  - Updated the QScintilla bindings for v1.17.

v3.16 24th March 2006
  - This version requires SIP v4.4 (or later).
  - PyQt3 can be installed alongside PyQt4.
  - Concatenating Python strings and QStrings is now supported.
  - QString now supports the * and *= operators that behave as they do for
    Python strings.
  - Removed some QString methods that weren't appropriate in a Python context
    and would have caused problems had they ever been used.
  - QString is more interoperable with Python string and unicode objects.  For
    example they can be passed as arguments to open() and to most (but not all)
    string methods.
  - QObject.sender() now handles Python signals.
  - Added the missing MacintoshVersion enum.
  - The convention for converting between a C/C++ null pointer and Python's
    None object has now been universally applied.  In previous versions a null

    empty list rather than None.
  - PYQT_BUILD has been removed.
  - QPopupMenu (and sub-classes) instances now transfer ownership of the menu
    to Python in the call to exec_loop().  This means the menu's resources are

  - Added the missing QString + operator.
  - PyQt classes now support Python's cyclic garbage collector.
  - QDialog (and sub-classes) instances now transfer ownership of the dialog to
    Python in the call to exec_loop().  This means the dialog's resources are
    all released when the Python wrapper is garbage collected without needing
    to call QObject.deleteLater().
  - Automatic type conversion to more specific sub-classes using available
    real-time type information has been improved so that, if a sub-class isn't
    recognised then the most specific sub-class is used rather than the base
    class.
  - Automatic type conversion for QLayoutItem and sub-classes has been added.
  - Added support for QScintilla v1.6.

	Sargeant).  QObject.sender() will now return an appropriate value.
	Fixed QTextView.setText() and QScrollView.addChild().  Fixed the
	problems with overloads with different C++ signatures but similar
	Python signatures - QCString.setNum(), QLabel.setNum(),
	QLCDNumber.checkOverflow(), QString.arg(), QString.number(),
	QString.setNum(), QVariant() and QWMatrix.map().  Added the missing
	QTranslator methods.  Added the QTranslatorMessage class.  configure
	will now look for Qt v2.3.1.  QInterlaceStyle is enabled only for Qt
	v2.3.1+ as it is broken in 2.3.0 on Windows.  Fixed problems with
	QLineEdit.event() and QMultiLineEdit.event().  Added post-hooks to
	complement the existing pre-hooks.  Added the Pizza example from the Qt
	Designer manual.  Removed the Version keyword for the latest SIP.
	Fixed the memory leaks related to sipMapCppToSelf() in handwritten
	code.  Changed the build system to handle different versions of PyQt
	for different versions of Qt.  NULL QCanvasItemList, QFileInfoList,
	QObjectList, QStrList and QWidgetList pointers are now converted to an

	fixes.  Added the addressbook.py, buttongroups.py and menu.py examples.
	Updated all the tutorial scripts to match those in Qt v2.x.  Removed
	the Qt v1.x specific examples.  Removed the deprecated behaviour of
	repr() for QString, QCString and QByteArray. The Python objects that
	correspond to C++ instances that are "owned" by Qt are now kept alive
	without the Python program having to keep an explicit reference.
	configure now looks for Python 2.1.

v2.2 6th November 2000
	Added the %Copying directive.  Added the missing %HeaderCode in
	qsizepolicy.sip.  Added classes QServerSocket, QSocket and

	create QSocketNotifiers before you create the QApplication, with
	Windows you can't).  Other fixes to eric to get it working with
	Windows.  Implemented __str__ of QByteArray, QCString and QString to
	return an empty string for null instances.  Changed __repr__ of the
	same classes to return a descriptive string for null instances.  Added
	the missing QPalette.setInactive().  Colour related fixes to pyuic
	(thanks to Robert Roy).  Added the documentation section on Python

	(see ChangeLog).

v2.0 14th September 2000

	return a unicode object (rather than a string) with versions of Python
	that support Unicode.
	Added /Transfer/ to QObject.insertChild().  Added /TransferBack/ to
	QObject.removeChild() and QTabBar.removeTab().  Changes needed by the
	latest SIP.  Fixed QFontInfo.family() for Qt v2.x (thanks to Joerg

v0.7.1 3rd May 1999
	Fixed the detection of -fno-exceptions support.  Added the necessary
	Py_DECREF(sipArgs) to all handwritten code.  Tested with Qt v1.44, KDE
	v1.1.1, Python v1.5.2, egcs v1.1.2 and glibc v2.1.

v0.7 16th April 1999
	Build with -fno-exceptions if supported.  Converted the documentation
	to SGML.  Replaced QT_VERSION and KDE_VERSION with the proper Qt and
	KDE version constants.  Fixed a bad bug converting from QStrings to
	Python strings.  The "connect" convenience function has been removed.
	Added the class variables for all supported classes.  Removed SLOT()
	from all examples.  Renamed some static functions in QDate, QTime and
	QFile (needed because of the new implementation of static member
	functions).  Added the ordinary functions related to supported classes.
	Added QListView, QListViewItem, QCheckListItem, KButton, KButtonBox,
	KContainerLayout, KContainerLayoutItem, KControlApplication,
	KControlDialog, KConfigWidget, KDatePicker, KDateTable, KDialog,

v0.6 20th February 1999
	Removed some handwritten code now that SIP automatically handles mapped
	classes and slots.  Changed QString to be mapped to/from Python
	strings.  Added the static member functions for all supported classes.
	Added new member functions for KDE v1.1.  Added QBoxLayout,
	QButtonGroup, QChain, QCheckBox, QChildEvent, QDate, QDateTime,
	QDialog, QDir, QFileDialog, QFileIconProvider, QFileInfo,
	QFileInfoList, QGManager, QGroupBox, QGridLayout, QHBoxLayout, QHeader,

	QTab, QTabBar, QTabDialog, QTime, QToolBar, QToolButton, QToolTip,
	QToolTipGroup, QVBoxLayout, QWhatsThis, QWidgetList, QWidgetStack.
	Added DlgLocation, KColorButton, KColorCombo, KColorDialog,
	KColorGroup, KDirDialog, KDirEntry, KEdit, KFM, KFileBaseDialog,
	KFileBookmark, KFileDialog, KFileInfo, KFileInfoContents,
	KFileInfoList, KFontDialog, KHTMLView, KIconLoaderButton,

	glibc v2.1.

v0.5 21st January 1999
	The bindings are now packaged with autoconf configure scripts.  The
	enum in QFrame is now unnamed as it is in Qt.  All the examples changed
	to use the new form of enums.  Added support for qApp, the global
	QColors, kapp, i18n(), Icon() and ICON().  Same test environment as
	v0.4.

v0.4 9th January 1999
	Enough Qt and KDE classes to implement the 14 Qt tutorials and KMyApp,
	but still not that many that implement user interface widgets.  Tested
	with Qt v1.42, KDE v1.0 and gcc v2.8.1.

v0.3 9th December 1998
	Many more Qt classes, but still not many that implement user interface
	widgets.  Those classes that are implemented are almost all fully
	implemented.  Tested with Qt v1.42.

v0.2 5th December 1999
	Added the definitions of protected and virtual member functions.

v0.1 1st November 1998
	First release (with a very small set of classes implemented) to give
	people a flavour.  Tested with Qt v1.41.
