Thanks, Thiago. In general I would prefer the commercial and the open 
source release of each version to be equivalent. But I can image that 
Digia wanted to have the patch, "QSslCertificate: blacklist fraudulent 
*.google.com"; I guess that patch will protect end users against those 
unreliable certificates from that formerly Dutch company named 
DigiNotar. Right? You know, that's a big security issue, especially here 
in The Netherlands.

Kind regards, Niels
