It maintains both forward and backward 2compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 3.3.7, Qt 3.3.6, Qt 3.3.5, 3.3.4, Qt 3.3.3, 3Qt 3.3.2, Qt 3.3.1 and Qt 3.3.0. 4 5**************************************************************************** 6* General * 7**************************************************************************** 8 9Platforms 10--------- 11 12- Oracle driver now builds on HP-UX 13 14Compilers 15--------- 16 17Linguist 18-------- 19 20- Fixed a bug where the translation area was not changed when the context was changed. 21 22Assistant 23--------- 24 25- Fixed command line parsing when specifying the docPath option. 26 27Translations 28------------ 29 30- Added support for Catalan. 31 32Third party components 33---------------------- 34 35- libpng 36 37 * Security fix (CVE-2006-3334): Buffer overflow allows context-dependent 38 attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary 39 code via unspecified vectors related to chunk error processing. 40 41 * Security fix (CVE-2006-5793): The sPLT chunk handling code 42 uses a sizeof operator on the wrong data type, which allows 43 context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) 44 via malformed sPLT chunks that trigger an out-of-bounds read. 45 46 * Security fix: Avoid profile larger than iCCP chunk. 47 One might crash a decoder by putting a larger profile inside the 48 iCCP profile than is actually expected. 49 50 * Security fix: NULL pointer dereference. 51 52 * Disabled MMX assembler code for Intel-Mac platforms to work 53 around a compiler bug. 54 55 * Disabled MMX assembler code for x86_64 platforms. 56 57- freetype 58 59 * Security fix (CVE-2006-0747): Integer underflow allows remote 60 attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a font file 61 with an odd number of blue values, which causes the underflow 62 when decrementing by 2 in a context that assumes an even number 63 of values. 64 65 * Security fix (CVE-2006-1861): Multiple integer overflows allow 66 remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly 67 execute arbitrary code. 68 69 * Security fix (CVE-2006-2661): A null dereference flaw allows 70 remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a 71 specially crafted font file. 72 73 * Fixed memory leak. 74 75 76**************************************************************************** 77* Library * 78**************************************************************************** 79 80General Fixes 81------------- 82 83- QAccessible 84 Fixed a potential crash when a key object is destroyed. 85 86- QApplication 87 argc() no longer returns 1 if 0 was passed as argc to the constructor. 88 89- QDateTime 90 Made QDateTime::fromString(QString(), Qt::TextDate) work with locales 91 that have two-digit day names (e.g. Di 16. Jan). 92 93- QDns 94 Stability fixes for networks with missing DNS settings. 95 96- QFileDialog 97 Ensured that files are not accidentally replaced or lost during drag 98 and drop operations. 99 100- QFtp 101 Fixed a crash when uploading data from a closed QIODevice. 102 Fixed a potential crash when a FTP session gets deleted in a slot. 103 104- QGLWidget 105 renderText() no longer tries to convert the text passed in to 106 a local 8 bit encoding (via local8Bit()). latin1() is used instead. 107 108- QGridLayout 109 Fixed incorrect minimum size with rich text labels in grid layouts. 110 111- QHttp 112 Fixed an overflow that could occur when chunked downloading caused 113 erroneous allocations. 114 115- QListBox 116 Fixed a potential crash that could occur if a list box is deleted in 117 a slot connected to the returnPressed() signal. 118 119- QListView 120 Set internal startDragItem pointer to 0 in clear(). This can prevent 121 crashes during drag and drop operations. 122 Fixed a documentation error in setSelectable. 123 Fixed regression in activation of leaf-nodes of type QCheckBoxController. 124 125- QTable 126 Fixed a memory leak when F2 is pressed in an empty table. 127 Ensured that the focus rectangle is painted correctly. 128 Ensured that editors in cells spanning multiple rows or columns are 129 closed correctly. 130 131- QTextEdit 132 setDocument() no longer crashes when 0 is passed as an argument. 133 Fixed rendering of HTML tables with a fixed pixel width. 134 Fixed a potential crash when using undo/redo functionality. 135 Fixed a regression when searching for space using QTextEdit::find(). 136 137- SQL plugins 138 Ensured that mysql_server_end() is only called once in the MySQL plugin. 139 Fixed fetching of strings larger than 255 characters from a 140 Sybase server through ODBC. 141 Ensured that milliseconds are not stripped from ODBC time values. 142 143- QWidget 144 Fixed an issue where adjustSize() would incorrectly take the size of 145 top-level widgets into account. 146 147 148Platform-Specific Issues 149------------------------ 150 151Windows: 152 153- QAxServer 154 Fixed a regression in how the server registers type libraries. 155 156- Visual Studio 2005 157 Fixed compilation issue with the x64 compiler. 158 Fixed the behavior of qmake when executed with "qmake -tp vc". 159 160- QFont 161 Fixed crash that would occur when creating a font from an invalid string. 162 Fixed metric problems. 163 164- Fixed possible infinite loop when drawing text. 165 166- Fixed an issue where flags specified by QMAKE_LFLAGS_RELEASE would not be 167 included in generated Visual Studio project files. 168 169- Fixed issue that caused wizards to use the wrong class in the QMsDev plugin 170 171- Fixed an unexpected remote close in QSocket for Windows servers with a high 172 load. 173 174- Fixed crash in QFileDialog. 175 176- Fixed a regression in QWindowsXPStyle where tab widget backgrounds were 177 incorrectly propagated into child scroll views. 178 179- Fixed issues related to using SJIS TextCodec with QSettings. 180 181- Fixed issue where a fixed size widget could change size after changing screen 182 resolution. 183 184- Fixed support for the Khmer writing system. 185 186 187Mac OS X: 188 189- Made the endian preprocessor define dependent on the architecture. This means 190 that it is possible to build a universal Qt library on one machine. However, 191 qmake_image_collection.cpp is still dependent upon the machine it was 192 generated on. 193 194- QComboBox 195 Fixed an issue where the popup would stay open after the window had 196 been minimized. 197 198- QFont 199 Fixed support for QFont::setStretch(). 200 201- QMacStyle 202 Fixed centering of items in large comboboxes. 203 Fixed editable comboboxes so that they don't truncate text. 204 Added support for Panther-style tabs for tabs on the bottom of a tab 205 widget. 206 207- QPrinter 208 Fixed Intel endian bug in printing of pixmaps with a mask/alpha 209 channel. 210 Fixed regression where active tool windows would always be disabled 211 212- QGLContext 213 Fixed a tearing issue caused by incorrect vertical sync. 214 215- Fixed a rendering issue with transparent cursors on Intel macs. 216 217- Fixed a rendering issue with icons in the dock on Intel macs. 218 219- Fixed a crash when playing back a file that does not exist. 220 221- Fixed a regression where full keyboard access was not being honored. 222 223- Fixed a regression preventing static file dialogs from being opened in a 224 contextMenuEvent() handler. 225 226- Fixed a regression in navigating nested popup menus. 227 228 229X11: 230 231- Fixed rendering of Japanese text with XLFD fonts. 232 233- Fixed rendering of text with stacking diacritics. 234 235- Rendering fixes for Indic scripts. 236 237- Fixed problem with applications hanging while querying the clipboard. This is 238 related to the KDE bug reported at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80072. 239 240- Fixed a crash that could occur when Qt uses a DirectColor visual. 241 242- Fixed a rare crash in QPixmap::convertToImage() when XGetImage() fails. 243 244- Fixed issue where events were not being processed by Qt when using the Qt 245 Motif Extension. 246 247- The X input method language status window is no longer shown for popup menus 248 on Solaris. 249 250- Fixed incorrect use of colors when painting on the default (TrueColor) screen 251 when running a Qt application on a multi-screen display where the default 252 screen uses a TrueColor visual and the secondary screen a PseudoColor visual. 253 254- Fixed a bug where calling newPage() directly before destroying the QPrinter 255 caused the last page to be printed twice. 256 257- Fixed a bug on older Unix systems where incorrect font sizes could get used 258 when printing in HighResolution mode. 259 260- Fixed a crash when trying to load huge font files. 261 262- Ensured that fonts containing a '-' in the family name are correctly loaded. 263 264- Ensured that the QFont::NoAntialias flag is always honored. 265 266- Fixed incorrect shaping of some character combinations when writing Bengali. 267 268- Introduced workaround for some Arabic fonts with broken OpenType tables. 269 270- Fixed a bug where the wrong braces would get used when using the Hebrew Culmus 271 fonts. 272 273- Fixed crash in qtconfig when removing or shifting font substitution families. 274
