Hi all, this is just a quick note about the recent changes to the Autotools build system (used by the GTK port) regarding the addition of new features.
When adding feature defines to various build system-specific files, the Autotools build system now lists the feature defines in Source/WebCore/GNUmakefile.features.am.in[1]. The value for the feature define should default to 0 (i.e. the feature, most likely unstable or missing a port-specific implementation, will be disabled in release versions of WebKitGTK+). You're welcome to enable the feature for the GTK port in Tools/Scripts/webkitperl/FeatureList.pm[2] if the feature does not rely on any port-specific implementation and you'd like to get layout test coverage of the feature by the GTK port. Values used for the GTK port in this file override the values in the GNUmakefile.features.am.in when using build-webkit (so-called development builds, also performed on the BuildBot builders). Adding a new configuration flag to configure.ac *is not required* anymore. The only exception to this is a new feature implementation that relies on a (new) dependency. These guidelines are also located on the Trac wiki[3] in a slightly more detailed nature.
