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.

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.

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.
