 ## Known issues
 
-### Missing scikits.ann
-
-Although the scikits.ann package is installed (`pip freeze` has `scikits.ann===0.2.dev-r803`), there is still a warning about it missing:
+### Make sure 'QTextCursor' is registered
 
-> You do not have the scikits.ann package. Without this package, the KNN function approximator and model-based learning are not available. Please install it with `sudo easy_install scikits.ann` or visit http://www.scipy.org/scipy/scikits/wiki/AnnWrapper.
+When running the GUI, the following error message shows up:
 
-### Missing GUI version
+> QObject::connect: Cannot queue arguments of type 'QTextCursor'
+> (Make sure 'QTextCursor' is registered using qRegisterMetaType().)
 
-The GUI is not supported yet.
+This is still unresolved.
