[Interest] QtWebkit replacement status...

[Scott Aron Bloom]

My biggest problem with webkit, is the TONS of dependencies it requires..

My app is not a "web" app, we use it for embedded help.. In Qt4, it added 1 or 2 dlls, in Qt5, we wind up having to include a large portion of Qt that my app really doesn't care about, except for webkit.

Im hoping the replacement web engine has fewer dependencies.

well, I currently use Qt5.4.0 with webkit since there recently have some annoying bugs with the nsapi plugin been fixed.
The browser pdf plugins are a must for me (no alternative for using a pdf reader on end user systems), so I must wait for webengine to provide a replacement for these ... on devdays there has been mentioned that nsapi support is not planned to be implemented so that makes me worry a bit ...

Currently webkit works fine for me and due to the latest talk on the list I expect it to keep working during the qt5 lifetime.

Even compiling webengine took me very loooooong - just finding out about its dependencies was a hell!
For me it does definitely not feel like being ready for production use.
