Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce that qtwebkit-1 branch in repository [1] now contains 
everything needed for successful linking of libQt5WebKit.so on Linux using gcc 
4.8.4 or clang 3.7. Branch is based on today's trunk and uses B3 compiler as a 
default FTL backend.

Note that QtTestBrowser is not yet here so there is nothing to run yet. Stay 
tuned!

Windows support is coming soon. It would be great if someone tried to compile 
the code on OS X (10.10 or 10.11 is required) and report encountered issues.

Also I'd like to inform you that trunk (and therefore qtwebkit-1 branch) now 
contains mostly working support for MIPS architecture in JSC engine (up to DFG 
JIT).

-------------

Now about sad things. There are some features that I had to disable during this 
work. They don't have high priority for me, so if anything of these items is 
important for you, please join our project!

* QWebHistory, QWebHistoryItem, and QWebHistoryInterface. WebKit APis has 
changed in this field, so it would require some investigation to restore these 
QtWebKit APIs.

I can assure you that I'm not going make any "official" releases without some 
kind of working history API, but if you want to speed up this process your help 
would be welcome.

* Private browsing API was significantly changed, so it is disabled for now.

Please help if you want this feature to be implemented sooner.

* Plugins (both Qt-style and NPAPI) in WebKit 1 (widgets API). Upstream removed 
support for plugins in single-process mode for non-Windows platforms. On the 
plus side, plugin integration classes were refactored so it should be possible 
to re-add these things without intervention to WebCore.

If nobody is going to help in this field, QtWebKit will likely be released 
without plugin support. Note that Qt Bridge is not affected at all.
