The first bug in the new release turns out to be in the README
file. I believe I already posted this info to the list, but I'll
repeat it (and update the README) The release is now available on
http://riverbankcomputing.co.uk 

sip/PyQt currently link to qt-mt if you have it. KDE3 is usually
built with qt-mt, so there is no problem there. KDE2 however is
built with qt. If you have KDE2 and Qt >= 2.3.1, you will have both
qt and qt-mt libs. In that case, PyKDE configure should fail if you
built sip/PyQt normally (PyKDE checks for a qt/qt-mt mismatch). The
workaround is to hide libqt-mt.* (rename them for instance) when
building sip/PyQt/PyKDE. You can restore libqt-mt.* after building.
I forgot to include this info in the README. That of course means
you can't use Qt threads and PyKDE (for KDE2.x only) at the same
time.

Also, it appears that PyKDE now builds successfully with gcc2.96,
which affects RH and Mandrake 8.2 users. Let me know if that isn't
correct.

Thanks to Bill Soudan for RH testing and info.

Now I can return to deleting Korean spam and Klez-infested emails.
(Out of 185 emails this morning, all but 30 were spam or
virus-generated. Arghhh!).
