Description Jan Kurik 2016-02-01 12:42:12 UTC
This is a tracking bug for Change: QtWebEngine
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org//wiki/Changes/QtWebEngine

QtWebEngine will be packaged for Fedora, initially at version 5.6. In addition, the QupZilla browser will be upgraded to the QtWebEngine-based QupZilla 2.

Comment 1 Jan Kurik 2016-02-24 14:26:02 UTC
On 2016-Feb-23, we have reached Fedora 24 Change Checkpoint: Completion deadline (testable).

At this point, all accepted changes should be substantially complete, and testable. Additionally, if a change is to be enabled by default, it must be so enabled at Change Completion deadline.

Change tracking bug should be set to the MODIFIED state to indicate it achieved completeness.

Incomplete and non testable Changes will be reported to FESCo on 2016-Feb-26 meeting.  Contingency plan for System Wide Changes, if planned for Alpha (or in case of serious doubts regarding Change completion), will be activated.

Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2016-02-24 17:17:00 UTC
This has been testable for a while.

Comment 3 Simon Clark 2016-04-17 19:48:04 UTC
I have added release notes text (mainly taken from the change description) to the draft F24 Release Notes here: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/docs/release-notes.git/plain/en-US/Development_Web.xml

Please would you take a look at the draft and let me know if anything should be added or changed?

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2016-04-18 11:32:27 UTC
The text looks fine, but I wonder whether "Web Development" is a suitable place for it. Isn't that usually associated with development of web sites (server-side) rather than web browsers (client-side)?

Comment 5 Jan Kurik 2016-04-20 15:02:01 UTC
On 2016-Apr-19 we reached the "Change Checkpoint: 100% Code Complete Deadline" milestone for Fedora 24 release. At this point all the Changes not at least in in "ON_QA" state should be brought to FESCo for review. Please update the state of this bug to "ON_QA" if it is already 100% completed. Please let me know in case you have any trouble with the implementation and the Change needs any help or review.

Thanks, Jan

Thank you for your feedback. I take your point and so I propose to split the announcement across two sections in the release notes.  I will move the QtWebEngine paragraph out of "Web Development" to the "Development" section and move the QupZilla browser paragraph to the "Desktop" chapter, next to the Firefox entry. Does that seem better to you?

This feature is 100% complete, we have stable versions of QtWebEngine (5.6.0) and QupZilla 2 (2.0.0) in the Fedora 24 branch (and in Rawhide) now.

Yes, it does.
