However, no patches were landed yet.
Here is Nix patch updated to current master: https://github.com/annulen/webkit/commit/2d181790b6945c4255b9df1a7bcf1433f3189ddc (original Nix port used glib event loop, but I'd like to avoid this dependency, that's why I added mock implementations of WorkQueue, MainThread, and RunLoop) -- Regards, Konstantin _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
