[Qtwebengine] Heads-up: Building Qt WebEngine will require dev branch of Qt soon.

[Bruning Michael]

Hello all,

this is a short heads-up that you will soon need the dev branch of Qt 5 (which is to become Qt 5.4 in the future) in order to build Qt WebEngine.

The reason for this is that a change that is needed to enable running Qt WebEngine on Windows and simplify OpenGL surface creation and handling across platforms depends on changes made to the qtbase module that are currently available on the dev branch only and will not be merged to the 5.3 branches.

The change in question is https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/89324/ . As soon as this change has been integrated, it will not be possible anymore to build Qt WebEngine with older Qt versions.

Best regards,
Michael
