Hi there. As you're probably aware, we're working on a new version of QtWebKit (2.2) which will be released with Qt-4.8.
This new QtWebKit version includes tons of changes since the last stable QtWebKit release (2.0, included in Qt-4.7) and will be supported for quite a while, as Qt-4.8 is the last planned released of the Qt4 series. If your application uses QtWebKit or you have plans to use it, please consider giving this version a try while it's still in Beta. We're intensificating the tests and feedback is very important now, before we release it. Personally, I consider this version, even in Beta, far superior than 2.0 due to the many improvements that happened in the webkit project in the past couple of years (better support for new standards, improved multimedia support, performance, tons of security fixes, etc). This version is also up-to-date regarding security issues and we plan to keep releasing security updates after the initial release, something we didn't do in the past. One of the best (simplest) ways to test it is by building Qt with configure -no-webkit and then building QtWebKit-2.2 in standalone mode from our git branch (updated a couple of times a week, weekly beta releases are also made from there). Qt-4.8 includes a snapshot from the QtWebKit-2.2 branch, but it's not always up-to-date. The wiki page for the QtWebKit-2.2 release should contain most things you need to know about the release (build-instructions, supported platforms, release-criterias, release notes, etc): * http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitRelease22 Feedback can be given in the QtWebKit mailing list or via IRC: #qtwebkit @ freenode and improvements to the wiki are very welcome. PS: I won't be subscribed to this list (kde-devel) for too long. You can reach me (and all other QtWebKit developers) direcly on IRC or via the QtWebKit mailing list. Thanks a lot! - Ademar -- Ademar de Souza Reis Jr. <[email protected]> Nokia Institute of Technology >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
