[webkit-qt] Ceasing development of current QtWebKit API's

[sunny shah]

Hi ,

   Will this break QtWebkit-Bridge? If yes, then what will be the new way to
expose QObject to Java-Script, I mean what will be the alternative method of
QtWebkit-Bridge or Hybrid application development?

Thanks,
 Sunny.
