Hi Qt- and KDE-programmers,

...Santa Claus gives you:

================================================================
QextMDI library version 1.0 (Beta1)
================================================================
It's a Qt-extension widget set that provides full functionality and
behaviour for an MDI application (except the document stuff that has
nothing to do in a widget collection). 
Your application is additionally configurable in several modes (also at
runtime): 
 -   MDI like MSWindows standard (includes stacked SDI)
 -   Unix-like with all windows as toplevel (like Emacs, gimp)
 -   somewhere between these 2 modes

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

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

Changes from 0.4 to 1.0beta1 
============================
- maximizing switches to stacked SDI mode (system buttons and menu moves
to the application main menubar) 
- minimized views are shown as mini-windows (only the captionbar) 
- new "Window" menu functions: Tile vertically, Iconify all, Toplevel
mode, Childframe mode 
- dragging of MDI views improved 
- taskbar can be switched off 
- class interfaces optimized 
- focus handling optimized 
- experimental Qt-1.44 support dropped (off-topic, there's was no
demand) 
- bugfixes 

Keep the idea of 
taking the best of both worlds!
