+ AFFECTS: users of Qt 4 and Qt 5
+ AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org
+
+ Following what is already done in Qt 5, the Qt 4 ports no longer install
+ their binaries into ${LOCALBASE}/bin (which is "/usr/local/bin" in most
+ cases). Additionally, the "-qt4" suffix has been dropped from the file names
+ of the binaries that had it, such as "qmake-qt4".
+
+ The new misc/qtchooser port is now used to choose whether a Qt 4 or Qt 5
+ version of a binary such as "moc", "qmake" or "designer" will be used. By
+ default, the Qt 5 versions are preferred, but that can be changed by setting
+ the QT_SELECT environment variable to "qt4".
+
+ qtchooser also allows one to seamlessly use other Qt installations for those
+ binaries, which is particularly beneficial to people working on Qt itself or
+ who need their own checkouts.
+
+ See qtchooser(1) for more information on how to configure qtchooser.
