6. CREDITS
==========

The port was done by:

Silvan Scherrer aka _diver

Thanks go to:

  * Dmitry A. Kuminov
  * Paul Smedley      (he originally ported KDiff3 using Qt3 and although
                       this port does not rely on his work at all, I was
                       happy using it for a long time)
  * Peter Weilbacher  (he did the original Qt4 port)

They either helped me when I had some nasty questions or did some testing for
me.
