================================================================


What is QextMDI?
================
- C++ GUI library extending Troll Tech´s Qt
- Because it only depends on Qt (now both versions, 1.44 and 2.xx) it
works on all systems supported by Qt
- gives Qt programmers the ability to create applications with MDI look
and style
- consists of a set of C++ classes linked to a dynamic runtime library
- is under the LGPL (see the license), which means you can use it under
this license and you can take part on its development, change and
improve it.
- qextmdi means:
     Qt-extension for MDI

Changes from 0.2 to 0.3
=======================
- Dynamic taskbar, buttons change size dynamically, button text will be
  abbreviated
- Complete improved focus handling for child widgets of QextMdiChildView
  (every view has its own focus loop, focuses don't get lost during
docking/undocking)
- A lot of focus handling bugs are fixed
- Taskbar button bases on QPushButton instead of QToolButton
- No more mouse dragging of view windows into the invisible area
- A lot of methods of QextMdiChildView and QextMdiMainFrm are virtual
now
- Some minor bugs are fixed
- Documentation updated and improved
- A second example application "MDIFrameWork" showing how to create a
  complete application in MDI style (as KDevelop Qt-project)
- Source code cleaned up a little bit
- Some things I don't remember...

known bugs:  :-(
================
- there are still problems with the minimum size of child frames
- sometimes strange behaviour effects of both example applications with
Qt1.44
- On Win32 with Qt2.00, bug in dynamic resizing of taskbar buttons
