[bt-devel] QWebEngine

[Greg Hellings]

I'm not sure what your intention was for the priority level of this.
>From my reading, QtWebKit is intended to remain in Qt but be relegated
to important bug fixes only. Qt 5.5 was the first to introduce
QtWebEngine, and Qt 5.6 will be the first version to carry that
library in Fedora packaging (slated for inclusion in Fedora 24, which
is still approaching alpha).

I don't think making the jump to QtWebEngine is a high priority task
at this point, but it's definitely one we should begin thinking
towards.
