Week 07 updates on QtWebKit stable branches (v2.1 and v2.1.x)

There was some unexpected activity in the qtwebkit-2.1 branch this week (so much for calling it a "Release Candidate") due to more Q&A efforts on the Symbian platforms targeted by this release. There are bugs still blocking 2.1, so this is not a release-candidate anymore.


The 2.1.x branch had its fair amount of commits and a fix from last week was reverted due to a regression (bug #52449, commit 4892409). Hopefully we'll be able to declare it a RC in a few weeks.

Week 06 updates on QtWebKit stable branches (v2.1 and v2.1.x)

This weekly tag includes several fixes on both branches: 2.1 and 2.1.x. The reason for most of these patches is that we found several commits on the Qt tree which have never been sent to webkit.org and therefore were not part of our branches.

A test branch for 2.1.x is also available, with some fixes which are not final yet but are useful for integrators and Q&A. See the end of this post for the list of bugs fixed in that branch.

Week 05 updates on QtWebKit stable branches (v2.1 and v2.1.x)

As previously mentioned, QtWebKit-2.1 is an RC (Release Candidate). As it's targeted and supported only on Symbian, it's waiting for a final "Go" from the involved teams before an official release.

The 2.1.x branch is in relative good shape, but as with 2.1, it's waiting for feedback and Q&A from the teams involved and therefore should have quite a few more bugs fixed before it's ready for a release.

There has been some discussion on the mailing list about the scope of 2.1. The official scope of 2.1.x (it'll probably be released as 2.1.1 if nothing goes wrong with 2.1.0) is: 2.1.0 + html5 media (audio/video) + critical fixes. There are other feature requests by Nokia/Symbian (the only official audience for this release), which will be, from now on, discussed in the public mailing list before being pushed into the branch. The current list of proposed fixes for 2.1.x is available via the tracker bugs: #50925 and #50926.

Week 04 updates on QtWebKit stable branches (v2.1 and v2.1.x)

As mentioned in the previous post, the qtwebkit-2.2 branch has been removed. Please use the new qtwebkit-2.1.x branch.

Week 03 updates on QtWebKit stable branches (v2.1 and v2.2)

Firt of all, there are some news regarding QtWebKit-2.2: it'll be an update to the QtWebKit-2.1 series, thus it'll be renamed to QtWebKit-2.1.x. Assuming no intermediary releases are made (e.g.: security updates), it'll probably be released as the 2.1.1 version.

Since the change was announced just today, this weekly tag will still be named qtwebkit-2.2-weekXX and the branch will stay as qtwebkit-2.2, but by the end of this week the qtwebkit-2.2 branch will be renamed to "qtwebkit-2.1.x". Once 2.1.0 is released the branch will be incorporated into the current qtwebkit-2.1 branch.

The tags will also change to include the minor version, thus being named 2.1.0-[...] and 2.1.x-[...].

QtWebKit-2.1.0
Changes from qtwebkit-2.1-week02 to qtwebkit-2.1-week03:
1 commit

Bugs fixed / Tasks done:

Week 02 updates on QtWebKit stable branches (v2.1 and v2.2)

QtWebKit-2.1 is in release candidate state and had two commits since last week, to remove an unwanted feature which was still there: TransformAction event (the implementation is non-standard and since it's not required at the moment, we better not publish it).

QtWebKit-2.2 is following its course, with a standard bunch of commits added and several more expected in the coming weeks.

Updates on QtWebKit stable branches (v2.1 and v2.2)

QtWebKit-2.2 is under stabilization, with a relativelly long list of release-critical bugs still to be fixed.
