While QtWebKit may continue to limp along for a few years yet, it has been removed from upstream webkit, and has no real active maintainers that I am aware of. The unfortunate reality is that we are not in a position where we can take on the sole maintenance of a web engine (which is a rather large and complex piece of software). >
That is very unfortunate, if true, but as OI understand the matter, qtwebkit will not go away anytime soon... My application too depends on it to scrape data from a web page.

It should be good enough for simple cases. If you’re lacking something from it, please ask away :) > Well, access to the DOM model... I don't really find the current trend being an improvement... qtwebkit2 was a functional regression already, and qtwebengine, while still an unknown, seems to be even more restricted. > BR, > Robin > > On 26 Nov 2013, at 02:02, Artem Marchenko <artem.marche...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi all >> >> One of the rejection messages I've got in harbour is the following: >> ----- >> In ./usr/share/wikipedia/pages/MainWikipediaPage.qml the 'QtWebKit 3.0' >> is not allowed >> ----- >> >> Is WebKit really not allowed? Just double checking as I thought that it's API/ABI is to be very stable at the times when it's going to retire - http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/09/12/introducing-the-qt-webengine/ (thanks to John Brooks for quickly locating the link). >> >> Shouldn't QtWebKit import be whitelisted? >> >> Best regards, >> Artem. >> >> -- >> Artem Marchenko >> http://agilesoftwaredevelopment.com >> http://twitter.com/AgileArtem >> _______________________________________________ >> SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list > > > > _______________________________________________ > SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
