Overview of QtWebKit 2.1 ¶

QtWebKit 2.1 is a web content engine based on the Open Source WebKit project. QtWebKit has broad support for modern web technologies and is compliant with typical web content. QtWebKit is developed as a part of the WebKit community, which enables every new release of QtWebKit to include the latest developments from the WebKit project. As a general indicator of web compliance, QtWebKit passes all current ACID tests (1 to 3).

QtWebKit has a C++ API that allows Qt applications to embed web content, and to examine and manipulate the web content. The QtWebKit C++ API is extensively documented in the QtWebKit documentation.

QtWebKit 2.1.0 ¶

QtWebKit 2.1.0 is an independent release that won't be included in any Qt releases. It's targeted at mobile platforms and is being verified to work with Qt 4.7.

QtWebKit-2.1 was branched from the WebKit trunk on July of 2010 and includes several HTML5, CSS and JavaScript improvements when compared to QtWebKit-2.0 (see below).

Supported Platforms ¶

QtWebKit 2.1.0 is verified for Linux, MeeGo, Harmattan and Symbian^3 platforms. While it may run on other platforms, there has not been an effort to verify all the features on other platforms.

Notable web developer features ¶

The highlights of the QtWebKit 2.1.0 release for web developers are:

• Touch Events
• Geolocation API
• Progress element and meter element
• Viewport meta tag
• Canvas element
• Application cache
• Web SQL Database
• Web Storage
• CSS Animations
• CSS Transitions
• CSS 2D Transforms
• CSS Text
• CSS Masks
• CSS ScrollBar Styles
• Native JSON parser

Note: HTML5 and CSS3 features are based on draft specifications that are subject to change.

JavaScript JIT ¶

Just-in-time (JIT) compilation for JavaScript works on the following platforms:

• Mac OS X, 64-bit and 32-bit
• Windows desktop platforms when using Microsoft Visual C++ or gcc 4.1 or higher (MinGW). 32-bit build only; JIT is not supported on 64-bit builds on Windows.
• Linux on x86 platforms with gcc 4.1 or higher
• Linux on ARM (Thumb-2 JIT is not currently used)
• Linux on MIPS architecture, maintained by MIPS Technologies.
• Symbian

Netscape Plug-in API ¶

QtWebKit supports the Netscape Plug-in API on X11, Windows, and Mac OS X.

Full list of bugs and commits ¶

Since the branch was forked from trunk on ​commit 4a1210a ([63881] on SVN), the following bugs have been fixed and commits made (please note that all tasks on webkit are tracked using a "bug" ticket):
