We will remove this one dependency to Qt 2.1, so that it works with 2.0 or 2.01
again. I mean we have a lot todo until the DOMifying is finished and it will
compile and work again, so if you want to have a working KOffice don't update
at the moment. But we are working on it and this quite big change brings
really lots of advantages as it makes the loading/saving so much easier and
needs much less code :-))

BTW: Because of switching to 2.1: As Qt 2.1 will be out before KDE 2.0 for sure,
I'm quite sure we will use Qt 2.1 for the final KDE 2.0 realease - but we
should not switch before the stable Qt 2.1 release gets out to avoid the
problems we had with the 2.0 snapshots. Although there shouldn't be a problem
using KDE with 2.1 right now.
