The reason is just that I understood there is no will/manpower to maintain yet the Qt4 WebKit port. So, I cloned out the git webkit repo on gitorious and started evaluating the possibility to unofficially release an updated qtwebkit 2.3 with some bugfixes, the inline spell check API + some contribution from KDE community. That's it. > Maybe off topic: Also, what are the new apis in the above repo? How > are the api docs for these generated and where do they reside?

I'm evaluating just the possibility to add one class for inline spell check + (eventual) QWebSettings switch. But we just have a solution to implement it without API addition as webkit plugin based on KDE sonnet library. Code is here: https://gitorious.org/kdewebkit-spellcheck By the way, I cannot work a lot on this port and I started it just because I realized there are too much months between qtwebkit 2.2 release and the time we (in KDE) will start using qt5 webkit APIs (Wk1 or Wk2). So, having one or two "mid-term" releases with bugfixes and eventually some updates from wekbkit main repo should not be that bad ;) Regards, -- Andrea Diamantini, adjam GPG Fingerprint: 57DE 8E32 7D1A 0E16 AA52 59D8 84F9 3ECD DBF9 730F rekonq project WEB: http://rekonq.kde.org IRC: rekonq@freenode _______________________________________________ webkit-qt mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-qt
