Thanks Lars!
It seems like a big step, indeed, after reading it on the blog. I (as a
developer) appreciate the concern about code migration in the future,
which I think (I may be wrong) will not be a PITA since Blink came as
Webkit fork (sharing the same root and bla bla bla).
But, I have some concerns about it, not related to the rendering engine
itself.
1. I have posted in this list my frustration about the "incomplete" bond
between Webkit and QtCore, specially about networking (when I made some
experiments with websockets). Webkit have its own implementation of this
specific client (workaround) that doesn't uses QNetworkAccessManager.
Digging a little bit, this implementation was written for Webkit by
Google itself and, as being the main developers of Blink/Chromium, I
suppose that it may not be tied to the underlying OS (yet). Does Qt have
plans for it, since there are even developers (in this same list)
creating a client / server?
2. JavascriptCore. I have some custom classes on top of JavascriptCore
to provide extra JS functionality. How this is going to be addressed in
Qt WebEngine?
3. 64-bit Windows. Chrome/Chromium for Windows is 32-bits and doesn't
even have builds for, according to the Chromium project website
<http://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/64-bit-support>.
How this is going to affect the development of 64-bit applications under
Windows?
Thanks a lot!!
Richard.

Hi,
As many of you know, we've been doing some research on a (chromium based)
new web engine for Qt during spring and summer. I wanted to let you know
that we've now come to the conclusion that we want to continue these
efforts in the future.
Please check
