[[PageOutline]] = Introduction = The policy for adding new (major) features to WebKit is: * Send an email to webkit-dev describing the feature and linking to the tracking bug * If necessary, add an ENABLE flag for the feature. = How to add an ENABLE flag = By adding a build definition for ENABLE_FEATURE it allows code/preprocessor to test using ENABLE(FEATURE). You'll need to edit at least the following files: * Source/JavaScriptCore/Configurations/FeatureDefines.xcconfig * Source/WebCore/Configurations/FeatureDefines.xcconfig * Source/WebKit/mac/Configurations/FeatureDefines.xcconfig * Source/WebKit2/Configurations/FeatureDefines.xcconfig * Source/cmake/WebKitFeatures.cmake * Source/cmakeconfig.h.cmake * Tools/Scripts/webkitperl/FeatureList.pm * Tools/qmake/mkspecs/features/features.pri * WebKitLibraries/win/tools/vsprops/FeatureDefines.vsprops * WebKitLibraries/win/tools/vsprops/FeatureDefinesCairo.vsprops Note that's only permitting the feature. To actually turn it on you'll need to edit the build configurations for each port. (TODO: page describing where each configuration is?) = Activating a feature for CMAKE based ports = * Edit Source/cmake/Options.cmake, e.g. OptionsEfl.cmake and set a default value for this feature. * Edit Tools/Scripts/webkitperl/FeatureList.pm to default enable this for the same port, e.g add a isPort() statement to the default setting assignment.
