As of Qt 5.6, QtWebKit will no longer be packaged with Qt. It has been removed
in favour of QtWebEngine. Qt 5.6 is due to be released on the 6th of February.
Jonathan Springer has taken a look at migrating OpenLP to QtWebEngine, and
while it is not trivial, it shouldn't be too difficult.
The timing right now is actually pretty good for us to migrate to QtWebEngine
for 2.4. If we release 2.4 on schedule at the end of January, we'll be able to
get it into Debian before the Import Freeze in Ubuntu, and folks who move from
LTS to LTS will have a working version of OpenLP in 16.04.
The previous Ubuntu LTS, 14.04, has Qt 5.2 which doesn't have QtWebEngine yet.
So we won't be releasing a new version of OpenLP for 14.04. People must upgrade
to the next LTS.
What are software versions and releases like for other Linuxes?
