New version is currently in development, and should be ready in time frame
of Qt 5.14 (at least functionality required for displaying help)
5.212 branch should be fine for use with local help files, e.g. you can take

Konstantin,
at this point, what's speaking againt qtwebkit is its track record of release.
Until it starts making regular releases again, I can't recommend it. And Qt
Creator (or any other application) shouldn't begin using it again until those
regular releases resume.
Are you worried about the lack of security patches? I can see how that
matters for an ordinary browser implemented with Qt, but for Assistant
and Creator that exclusively display locally installed generated
compressed help files, security concerns are a lot lower.
Bastiaan.
