Revision control
++ Qt 4.7.1 is a bug-fix release. It maintains both forward and backward
++ compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 4.7.0. For more details,
++ refer to the online documentation included in this distribution. The
++ documentation is also available online:
++
++
++ The Qt version 4.7 series is binary compatible with the 4.6.x series.
++ Applications compiled for 4.6 will continue to run with 4.7.
++
++ Some of the changes listed in this file include issue tracking numbers
++ corresponding to tasks in the Qt Bug Tracker, the (now obsolete) Task
++ Tracker, or the Merge Request queue of the public source repository.

++
++ Optimizations
++ -------------
++
++ - Improved the benchmarking library's timing code
++ * Uses a faster access to the system clock
++
++ - Introduction of SSSE3 for alpha blending of images.
++
++ - On x86 and 86_64, the memory access has been improved for alpha blending
++ and for some composition functions.
