Remaining question is versioning. While it's fine to dub current
release "5.9" (but not 5.0, because we will have another WebKit update
in 5.10 time frame), using Qt versions in QtWebKit has downsides:
1. It is not clear if 5.N+1 ships with the same WebKit branch as 5.N,
or is updated
2. It makes people believe that QtWebKit 5.N should be used with Qt
5.N only. QtWebKit supports wide range of Qt versions (starting from
5.2 as of now), and can be used e.g. as security update in Linux
distro that does not normally update Qt version during its life cycle.
Any comments?
If Qt and QtWebKit will have different release schedules then that
numbering would indeed confuse people.
Have you thought about an LTS version too ? What would LTS mean, for
QtWebKit ? I think during the LTS lifetime we would still need to update
the inner WebKit, for security reasons, (that even happened for
QtWebEngine in a 5.6.x patch release).
Thanks for your efforts on this!
