[PyQt] ANN: eric 4.2.0 released

[Juan Pablo Romero Méndez]

Thank you very much!

I like the new icons.

The only (small) issue I have is that the editor still feels "slow",
even with line breaking disabled (although this helps a lot).  I find
this strange, because my machine is rather fast (quad core @ 3.5 Mhz).

Regards,

  Juan Pablo
