Re: Does webkitgtk issues discussed here?



Hello Igor,

Does WebKitGTK has its own list?

https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-gtk

So here it is:
On the page https://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkitgtk/stable/index.html
there are
WebKitWebBackForwardList and WebKitWebHistoryItem classes which should
take care of the history support inside the WebView.

However, on the page
https://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkit2gtk/stable/index.html
those classes are missing.

The former link is for a version 2.4.5, the latter - 2.18.3.

The difference is not in WebKitGTK version but in WebKit API version.
The former documentation is for WebKitGTK (GTK+ port of WebKit 1 API,
removed in WebKitGTK+ 2.6.0, that's why the doc comes from 2.4.5), the
latter for WebKit2GTK (GTK+ port of WebKit 2 API, considered stable
since WebKitGTK+ 2.0.0 and the only supported API nowadays).

Are those 2 classes become deprecated? If so, which version deprecates them?

WebKit1 is practically deprecated since WebKitGTK 2.0 and is no longer
supported (no bug and security fixes).

I see on the second page there are WebKitBackForwardist and WebKitHistoryItem.
(no middle "Web"). Are they direct replacements?

They seem to be the replacements, but not all methods from WebKit1
have been ported.

Best regards,

Jiri Janousek
