The deprecated WebKit 1 API is available in WebKitGTK+ < 2.6.0, but you really should not use it because it is ancient (i.e compatibility issues with modern web pages) and insecure (look at WebKitGTK security advisories to get an idea about security vulnerabilities still present in 2.4.5). >>> Are those 2 classes become deprecated?

That's a question for WebKitGTK+ developers. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
