Hi Mark,
If you need to use Qt Webkit, then it is probably better to stay with Qt 5.5.
There is nothing that makes Qt 5.5 bad overnight, if it works for you now. Qt
WebEngine is in many aspects already much better in features than Qt Webkit. Qt
WebEngine is also better maintained, and does receive much more improvements
and security fixes than Qt Webkit. Even though some features of Qt WebKit are
not in same way available with Qt WebEngine, it is overall a better choice. Qt
Webkit is removed from Qt 5.6 because it is no longer maintained well enough to
be part of an official Qt release. We are also not developing and testing it to
work with Qt 5.6.
Yours,
Tuukka

Subject: [Development] Please do not remove QtWebkit from 5.6 official binaries
Hi all,
QtWebEngine does not yet have feature parity with QtWebkit. For instance,
print support (especially export to PDF) is a critical requirement for my use
of Webkit. This missing feature prevents me from migrating to WebEngine.
Removing webkit from the official distribution will prevent me (and surely
others) from upgrading to 5.6.
Thanks,
Mark
