8. HISTORY
==========

Compiled now with Qt v4.7.3 GA

Version 2.3

Added a direct interface to Plasma (the KDE transparent gadgets), that can load the system 
Svg theme rather than the application user-defined one.
On other platforms (such as windows), or if KDE is not the desktop manager, the user-defined 
Svg theme, if any, is used.
Changed text shadow to use some blurring rather than sharp offset.
