QtWebKit-2.2 Release
QtWebKit-2.2 will be a stable release targeted at all Qt supported platforms. It was branched from trunk on 2011-05-05 (r85855) and will be released a bit earlier than Qt-4.8 (where it'll be included).
For a detailed list of features supported by QtWebkit-2.2 and the changes from the previous release, check the Internal Release Notes.

Source Code and Build Instructions
- The source code is available in the qtwebkit-2.2 branch in our WebKit git mirror @ Gitorious. It works better if you have an account there and clone the repository via ssh;
- Please note you'll clone the whole repository. The master branch is the WebKit trunk mirror. QtWebKit-2.2 is developed in the qtwebkit-2.2 branch;
- Follow the standard QtWebKit build instructions for your platform;
- QtWebKit-2.2 is also available inside the Qt-4.8 repository, but it's not always up-to-date there. The branch is the preferred method;
- A simple way to test it is to build Qt-4.8 without QtWebKit support (
configure -no-webkit
) and then build QtWebKit in standalone mode from the branch (Tools/Scripts/build-webkit --qt
).
QA, Trackers and Build bots
- Developers perform weekly tests on the branch on multiple platforms;
- TODO: QA team and test procedure;
- Tracker bug for critical fixes: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55055
- Tracker bug for candidate fixes: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55056
Buildbots:
- All bots in one page

- Linux desktop with Qt-4.8
- OSX Snow Leopard (10.6) with Qt-4.7
