[bt-devel] QWebEngine

[Gary Holmlund]

Greg,

Please check these Qt 5.6 release notes.
https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.6#Removed_Modules

I have downloaded the beta of Qt 5.6 and Webkit is not there. The Qt 5.6 
release date is Feb 9th. Releases like arch will probably have it Feb 10th.

I have both QWebKit and QWebEngine working with BibleTime. There is a 
compile option to choose one versus the other. I will probably make the 
option test the Qt version and switch to QWebEngine for Qt 5.6.

I am doing further testing before I check in the changes.

Gary
