I found this statement on the Qt mailing list: "QtQuick1 and QtWebKit are _not_ supported anymore since Qt 5.6. What we have said is that we will provide QtWebKit source packages as courtesy on a best-effort basis. That is, also the QtWebKit source package under http://download.qt.io/community_releases/5.6/5.6.0/ is not part of Qt anymore, and not supported. Use it at your own risk. There's also no promise we can continue providing these." source: http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2016-May/025923.html Well, none of this software comes with a warranty, so I think it's fine. Can you add a code comment mentioning that this package is not officially supported by the Qt project?
