[webkit-qt] [announce] qtwebkit-2.2-week30 status report - changes since qtwebkit-2.2-week29

[Ademar Reis]

Hi everybody.

This week we had a few important cherry-picks in our crusade to have a really good QtWebKit-2.2 release. The most important were:

 * New media backend on Linux and Mac, which should considerably improve the multimedia support on these platforms. See this message for the technical details: https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2011-July/017646.html

 * Fix the API behavior of QWebFrame/QWebPage (#61328, see below.)



We still have a couple of critical (and somehow risky) issues pending a fix. If everything goes as planned, they should be fixed on this coming week. Once they're in the branch, we'll release a new beta and enter into a deep freeze, so stay tunned.
