I notice here:

<http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/05/12/qt-modules-maturity-level-the-list/>

that QtSvg is now deprecated:

[quote]
QtSvg
Overall module state: Deprecated
New maintainer required
Reasoning: SVG Full (as opposed to SVG Tiny) functionality available in 
QtWebKit, which should be used instead; we welcome research for a 
replacement for the SVG-generating code.

I use QtSvg for toolbar icons and similar application-level graphics, to 
provide easy scalability. Will QImage still support SVG images after 
QtSvg is gone? I can't imagine how I could use WebKit for this 
functionality.

Cheers,
Martin
