++
++ * Security fix (CVE-2006-3334): Buffer overflow allows context-dependent
++ attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary
++ code via unspecified vectors related to chunk error processing.
++
++ * Security fix (CVE-2006-5793): The sPLT chunk handling code
++ uses a sizeof operator on the wrong data type, which allows
++ context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
++ via malformed sPLT chunks that trigger an out-of-bounds read.
++
++ * Security fix: Avoid profile larger than iCCP chunk.
++ One might crash a decoder by putting a larger profile inside the
++ iCCP profile than is actually expected.
++
++ * Security fix: NULL pointer dereference.
++
++ * Disabled MMX assembler code for Intel-Mac platforms to work
++ around a compiler bug.
++
++ * Disabled MMX assembler code for x86_64 platforms.
++
++ - freetype
++
++ * Security fix (CVE-2006-0747): Integer underflow allows remote
++ attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a font file
++ with an odd number of blue values, which causes the underflow
++ when decrementing by 2 in a context that assumes an even number
++ of values.
++
++ * Security fix (CVE-2006-1861): Multiple integer overflows allow
++ remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly
++ execute arbitrary code.
++
++ * Security fix (CVE-2006-2661): A null dereference flaw allows
++ remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a
++ specially crafted font file.
++
++ * Fixed memory leak.

++
++ General Fixes
++ -------------
++
++ - QAccessible
++ Fixed a potential crash when a key object is destroyed.
++
++ - QApplication
++ argc() no longer returns 1 if 0 was passed as argc to the constructor.
++
++ - QDateTime
++ Made QDateTime::fromString(QString(), Qt::TextDate) work with locales
++ that have two-digit day names (e.g. Di 16. Jan).
++
++ - QDns
++ Stability fixes for networks with missing DNS settings.
++
++ - QFileDialog
++ Ensured that files are not accidentally replaced or lost during drag
++ and drop operations.
++
++ - QFtp
++ Fixed a crash when uploading data from a closed QIODevice.
++ Fixed a potential crash when a FTP session gets deleted in a slot.
++
++ - QGLWidget
++ renderText() no longer tries to convert the text passed in to
++ a local 8 bit encoding (via local8Bit()). latin1() is used instead.
++
++ - QGridLayout
++ Fixed incorrect minimum size with rich text labels in grid layouts.
++
++ - QHttp
++ Fixed an overflow that could occur when chunked downloading caused
++ erroneous allocations.
++
++ - QListBox
++ Fixed a potential crash that could occur if a list box is deleted in
++ a slot connected to the returnPressed() signal.
++
++ - QListView
++ Set internal startDragItem pointer to 0 in clear(). This can prevent
++ crashes during drag and drop operations.
++ Fixed a documentation error in setSelectable.
++ Fixed regression in activation of leaf-nodes of type QCheckBoxController.
++
++ - QTable
++ Fixed a memory leak when F2 is pressed in an empty table.
++ Ensured that the focus rectangle is painted correctly.
++ Ensured that editors in cells spanning multiple rows or columns are
++ closed correctly.
++
++ - QTextEdit
++ setDocument() no longer crashes when 0 is passed as an argument.
++ Fixed rendering of HTML tables with a fixed pixel width.
++ Fixed a potential crash when using undo/redo functionality.
++ Fixed a regression when searching for space using QTextEdit::find().
++
++ - SQL plugins
++ Ensured that mysql_server_end() is only called once in the MySQL plugin.
++ Fixed fetching of strings larger than 255 characters from a
++ Sybase server through ODBC.
++ Ensured that milliseconds are not stripped from ODBC time values.
++
++ - QWidget
++ Fixed an issue where adjustSize() would incorrectly take the size of
++ top-level widgets into account.
++
++
++ Platform-Specific Issues
++ ------------------------
++
++ Windows:
++
++ - QAxServer
++ Fixed a regression in how the server registers type libraries.
++
++ - Visual Studio 2005
++ Fixed compilation issue with the x64 compiler.
++ Fixed the behavior of qmake when executed with "qmake -tp vc".
++
++ - QFont
++ Fixed crash that would occur when creating a font from an invalid string.
++ Fixed metric problems.
++
++ - Fixed possible infinite loop when drawing text.
++
++ - Fixed an issue where flags specified by QMAKE_LFLAGS_RELEASE would not be
++ included in generated Visual Studio project files.
++
++ - Fixed issue that caused wizards to use the wrong class in the QMsDev plugin
++
++ - Fixed an unexpected remote close in QSocket for Windows servers with a high
++ load.
++
++ - Fixed crash in QFileDialog.
++
++ - Fixed a regression in QWindowsXPStyle where tab widget backgrounds were
++ incorrectly propagated into child scroll views.
++
++ - Fixed issues related to using SJIS TextCodec with QSettings.
++
++ - Fixed issue where a fixed size widget could change size after changing screen
++ resolution.
++
++ - Fixed support for the Khmer writing system.
++
++
++ Mac OS X:
++
++ - Made the endian preprocessor define dependent on the architecture. This means
++ that it is possible to build a universal Qt library on one machine. However,
++ qmake_image_collection.cpp is still dependent upon the machine it was
++ generated on.
++
++ - QComboBox
++ Fixed an issue where the popup would stay open after the window had
++ been minimized.
++
++ - QFont
++ Fixed support for QFont::setStretch().
++
++ - QMacStyle
++ Fixed centering of items in large comboboxes.
++ Fixed editable comboboxes so that they don't truncate text.
++ Added support for Panther-style tabs for tabs on the bottom of a tab
++ widget.
++
++ - QPrinter
++ Fixed Intel endian bug in printing of pixmaps with a mask/alpha
++ channel.
++ Fixed regression where active tool windows would always be disabled
++
++ - QGLContext
++ Fixed a tearing issue caused by incorrect vertical sync.
++
++ - Fixed a rendering issue with transparent cursors on Intel macs.
++
++ - Fixed a rendering issue with icons in the dock on Intel macs.
++
++ - Fixed a crash when playing back a file that does not exist.
++
++ - Fixed a regression where full keyboard access was not being honored.
++
++ - Fixed a regression preventing static file dialogs from being opened in a
++ contextMenuEvent() handler.
++
++ - Fixed a regression in navigating nested popup menus.
++
++
++ X11:
++
++ - Fixed rendering of Japanese text with XLFD fonts.
++
++ - Fixed rendering of text with stacking diacritics.
++
++ - Rendering fixes for Indic scripts.
++
++ - Fixed problem with applications hanging while querying the clipboard. This is
++ related to the KDE bug reported at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80072.
++
++ - Fixed a crash that could occur when Qt uses a DirectColor visual.
++
++ - Fixed a rare crash in QPixmap::convertToImage() when XGetImage() fails.
++
++ - Fixed issue where events were not being processed by Qt when using the Qt
++ Motif Extension.
++
++ - The X input method language status window is no longer shown for popup menus
++ on Solaris.
++
++ - Fixed incorrect use of colors when painting on the default (TrueColor) screen
++ when running a Qt application on a multi-screen display where the default
++ screen uses a TrueColor visual and the secondary screen a PseudoColor visual.
++
++ - Fixed a bug where calling newPage() directly before destroying the QPrinter
++ caused the last page to be printed twice.
++
++ - Fixed a bug on older Unix systems where incorrect font sizes could get used
++ when printing in HighResolution mode.
++
++ - Fixed a crash when trying to load huge font files.
++
++ - Ensured that fonts containing a '-' in the family name are correctly loaded.
++
++ - Ensured that the QFont::NoAntialias flag is always honored.
++
++ - Fixed incorrect shaping of some character combinations when writing Bengali.
++
++ - Introduced workaround for some Arabic fonts with broken OpenType tables.
++
++ - Fixed a bug where the wrong braces would get used when using the Hebrew Culmus
++ fonts.
++
++ - Fixed crash in qtconfig when removing or shifting font substitution families.
