qwtchangelog - Man Page

Support for Qt < Qt 4.8 has been dropped, support for Qt6 has been added.

Include files, that match the class names are available now. So it is possible to write '#include <QwtPlot>' now instead of 'include qwt_plot.h'

The QwtPolar project ( https://qwtpolar.sourceforge.io ) has been integrated into Qwt.

The code can be found at https://github.com/uwerat/qwt-mml-dev now and is intended to become a standalone lib.

The broken implementation of QwtSpline has been replaced by a bunch of classes offering all sort of functionalities around splines.

The most popular spline approximation/interpolation algos have been implemented:

- Basis
- Cardinal
- ParabolicBlending
- Akima
- The one used in a proprietory office package
- Cubic
