QtWebKit – WebKit

Qt Port of WebKit ¶

WebKit is an open source web browser engine. WebKit's HTML and JavaScript code began as a branch of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE. As part of KDE framework KHTML was based on Qt but during their porting efforts Apple's engineers made WebKit toolkit independent. QtWebKit is a project aiming at porting this fabulous engine back to Qt.

The Qt port of WebKit currently compiles and runs on Linux (including Maemo and Meego), Windows, Mac OS X and Symbian.

Buildbots help automate the compile/test cycle: QtWebKitBuildBots

Contact (discussions and mailing lists) ¶

• IRC: #qtwebkit on irc.freenode.net
• The  webkit-qt mailing list (development discussion, moderate traffic)
• The  QtWebKit announce mailing list (release announcements, low traffic)

Releases ¶

• QtWebKit 2.2 Release Page (next stable version, included in Qt-4.8)
• QtWebKit 2.1 Release Page (standalone version for Nokia mobile platforms)
• QtWebKit 2.0 Release Page (included in Qt-4.7)
• Before Qt-4.7, QtWebKit was considered part of Qt and didn't have a version of its own:
  • Features integrated in WebKit in Qt 4.6
  • Features integrated in WebKit in Qt 4.5

• Release procedures and policies
• Security Policy and announcements

Build Instructions ¶

Standalone builds (recommended):

• Building QtWebKit on Linux
• Building QtWebKit on Windows
• Building QtWebKit on OSX
• Building QtWebKit on Symbian
• Building QtWebKit on MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan with Qt 5

If you want to build it from inside Qt (using Qt's build-system), first you have to import QtWebKit's code by following the packaging procedure.

Getting Involved ¶

QtWebKit is a truly open source project that welcomes all contributors. You can report bugs, help with tests, write code or documentation and discussions are held publicly on IRC or on mailing lists. Development happens on the official webkit repositories.

• Information for Contributors
• Mailing list:  http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-qt
• IRC Channel: #qtwebkit on irc.freenode.net

Reporting Bugs ¶

Details can be found in the QtWebKitBugs page, but in essence you just have to follow the steps below:

• Use the template shortcut  http://webkit.org/new-qtwebkit-bug
• Attach a reproducible minimal test-case (HTML snippet, compilable C++ code)
