QT stays compatible within the same Micro release, or upward releases. I.e: An application compiled and linked against 4.3.0 can move between 4.3.2, 4.3.1 or 4.3.4, it won't matter. They can also move to 4.4.x or 4.5.x However, they can't move to 4.2.2 or 4.1.3. --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman Sun Microsystems, Inc. Stefan.Teleman at Sun.COM
