+  * contrib/hbqt/qtcore/hbqt_pointer.cpp
+    + Added: HB_FUNC( SIGNAL2SLOT ) which simulates exactly Qt's way 
+      of signal/slot mechanism. Now hbQT has yet another way to 
+      mimic signal/slots. 
+
+  + contrib/hbqt/tests/signalslots.prg
+    + Added: deno program to demonstrate Qt's way of signal/slot
+      affinity in Harbour.
+
+    NOTE: above contribution is made by Francessco Perrilo, thanks.
