November 10th, 2008· Added a workaround for an obscure typedef-related SIP bug triggered by QAxBase.
· Updated the NEWS file.
· Updates to the installers.
· Changed all uses of sequences to explicitly use PySequence_Check() as PySequence_Size() returning a valid value may not be sufficient (eg. sets).
· PyQt should now compile against Stackless.
· More fixes for the GPL installer related to setting PATH and non-admin
· installs.

· Updated the docs regarding the slightly changed QVariant behaviour.
· Added support for qreal being implemented as either a float or a double.
· QSizeGrip support is now determined by configure.py.
· Fixed QDesktopServices.setUrlHandler() so that it works the same as the C++ implementation but also accepts a method that is a slot of a QObject.
· Backed out the explicit support for the QList and QMap mapped types as they break backwards compatibility.
· Fixed a pyuic bug handling empty icon sets.
· Added the unit tests for QVariant.
· Added the unit tests for __pyqtSignals__ and pyqtSignature().
· Added the unit tests for pyqtProperty.
· Python integer objects will now be stored as int types in QVariant where possible (rather than qlonglong) so that enums are stored as ints.

· Updated the unit test framework and started to add the ad-hoc tests to it.

· Switched the internal build system to Qt v4.4.2.
· No, it should have been SIP v4.7.8 that is now required.

· Implemented the enhanced support for converting QVariants back to Python objects - but completely untested.
· Further changes when creating a QVariant. Converting back to a Python object is still broken.

· QVariant() and QVariant.toPyObject() will now handle non-Qt wrapped types properly.
· Fixed a bug handling of non-Qt wrapped types by QVariant.
· Fixed bugs in the embeddeddialogs.py and Designer pydemo.py examples.
· pyuic will now complain if it finds a custom widget header file name that contains '..'.
· Added %MethodCode for QKeySequence::operator[] to do bounds checking so that iterating over an instance works properly. Also added Pythonic handling of negative indices.
· Reviewed all other operator[] implementations and adopted the same code skeleton.
