Revision control
++ Qt 4.4.2 is a bug-fix release. It maintains both forward and backward
++ compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 4.4.1 and 4.4.0.
++
++ The Qt version 4.4 series is binary compatible with the 4.3.x series.
++ The Qt for Embedded Linux version 4.4 series is binary compatible with
++ the Qtopia Core 4.3.x series. Applications compiled for 4.0, 4.1, 4.2,
++ and 4.3 will continue to run with 4.4.
++
++ Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers
++ corresponding to tasks in the Task Tracker:
