We never removed the documentation for old WK1 C++ classes and we will never do it. Just like QWidget it will be there, we don't touch the files. The alpha of Qt 5 didn't ship QtWebKit I think, that's probably why it is not there. Well I think we have to make the Qt5 WK2 documentation complete but there is already a bit of work done. > Is anybody working on writing "cool demos"? > So far no. > Will the QML WebKit only target touch devices, or will the desktop also be a > first-class citizen? I.e. will code like 'convert mouse events to touch > events' or similar be required there? Keep in mind that WK2 with Qt5 QML API is a basic WebView so its scope is limited for now. The desktop support is there and some project like Snowshoe is using it. Now the WebView is missing a lot (in both world) to make it as good as QWebView or QGraphicsView. 5.0 is not the end of Qt 5. > > Thanks > > [1]: http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/5.0/index.html > -- > Milian Wolff | milian.wo...@kdab.com | Software Engineer > KDAB (Deutschland) GmbH&Co KG, a KDAB Group company > Tel.
