Good news for KWord: Qt3 widget ported to Qt2 Posted by Jérôme Loisel on

Back in November, Reginald Stradlbauer announced a new rich text widget for 
Qt. That widget could provide, he said, a very stable base for KWord. So a 
rich text branch of KWord was started and became the focal point of KWord 
development... The problem was that the new widget was only slated to appear 
in Qt3. Recently, Thomas Zander reasoned that a stable Qt3 was too far off 
and considering that current users needed more support right now, came to the 
conclusion that it might be best to drop the coolness-enhanced branch. 
Fortunately, David Faure valiantly tackled the task of backporting the Qt3 
rich text widget to Qt2 and succeeded! This could be a big boost to rapid 
KWord development.
