I've updated the Qt toolkit/GUI widget set on Athena to 4.0.0. This is
a major update, with many changes that break both binary and source
compatibility with earlier releases. Among other things, the Qt library
is now broken up into multiple, smaller libraries and the designer interface
builder has radically changed in look-and-feel. The qt locker on Athena
(and corresponding version lockers) has been replaced by qt-dynamic and
qt-static (for dynamic and static linking respectively), because putting
everything in a single locker is getting increasingly unwieldly.
URL http://web.mit.edu/acs/www/programming.html#Qt will give you more
details and links to documentation. See also the README.athena files
at the top level of the qt-dynamic_v4.0.0 and qt-static_v4.0.0 lockers.
