The build system and Qtopia Sync Agent changes are recorded separately.

Enhancements

1. Cleanup Wizard
   • BUG 225299: The Cleanup Wizard is no longer limited to cleaning up documents on a single filesystem per run.

   • BUG 230416: When run on reiserfs, qbuild claimed there was nothing to be done.
   • BUG 232729: If no suitable system Qt can be found and -build-qt is passed to configure, configure will build Qt from source and then use that as the system Qt.
