[webkit-qt] QtWebKit 2.3.0 released

[Turunen Tuukka]

Hi,


It is impotant decision whether or not we want to bend our own rules and take it in to a 4.8.x release. By default it should not be in.


It may be best to keep the old webkit in the patch release packages and offer the new one as optional. Then those who need it can take it and verify their app with it.


Yours,



Tuukka

Congrats on releasing this.

The Qt 4.8.4 maybe will merge it?


Thanks.
