Enhancements
- The packaged files have been cleaned up: some files contained an "edited" field and other files contained a comment that included a hardcoded path. With each release the information in these fields changed causing a diff done on the source files to be very noisy. The files have been fixed in such a way that the information is now removed altogether. Therefore, if you diff the 2.1.1 sources against the 2.1.0 sources you will still get a noisy output, but for future releases the diff should be much cleaner.
- Reference documentation has been improved and expanded. The documentation enhancements include: a more comprehensive Style Guide; Getting Started now contains details of Qtopia dependencies; makeqpf documentation; single executable build documentation; details on compiling the required libraries and creating custom configuration files.
