 The WebKit/GTK+ API follows a stable additions-only policy. The core engine is continually being stabilised and is suitable for most embedding tasks. Distributors should get in touch with the upstream maintainers to be sure they're packaging the correct version.

+We adopt a versioning scheme similar to GTK+'s. This means that, having a version x.y.z, when y is odd, it's a development version. API is still not stable, and may change. When y is an even number, we are in a stable release, which gets only fixes, and small improvements, while keeping API compatibility. When API bits are deprecated for a full release cycle, we drop them.
