Week 19 updates on QtWebKit stable branches (v2.1.x)

uring the past week QtWebKit-2.1.x had only test-related changes to help us catch potential regressions and keep the code stable in the future, during maintenance mode.


IMPORTANT: Starting with QtWebKit-2.2, these weekly reports will only be sent to the development and announcement mailing lists thus leaving this blog for specific developer discussions or sporadic, important announcements.

Week 16 updates on QtWebKit stable branches (v2.1.x)

No new cherry-picks or fixes on the qtwebkit-2.1.x branch during this week.

On related news, we're releasing our first beta of the 2.1.1 version (from the 2.1.x branch). There are a few bugs left but the final version is expected to be released very soon (as with 2.1.0, we're waiting for the final green light from the target devices).

The focus of the 2.1.1 release is HTML5 media (video/audio) on Meego/Symbian + general bugfixes. Although the targets are mobile platforms (the same of 2.1.0), tests and feedback on any environment are welcome as usual.

The project wiki has build instructions and other useful resources and discussions happen on the developer mailing list and on the #qtwebkit IRC channel on freenode.

Week 15 updates on QtWebKit stable branches (v2.1 and v2.1.x)
