QUPZILLA REVIEWS INSTALL
Just install the qupzilla package, version 2.x.x (1.9.99 or higher). The easiest way to test QtWebEngine is through QupZilla 2.
(A test plan is not required for a self-contained change, but here's a short one:) There will be no impact on other packages from this change, which is why I consider it self-contained. One issue may be support for patent-encumbered codecs: I hope to get GStreamer support working, which was exactly what QtWebKit used. Some web pages that were using obsolete constructs may break, though hopefully that will not be the case. Some web pages that previously did not work will start working. Web pages may render slightly differently.
The most noticeable difference will be the actual web engine. QUPZILLA REVIEWS MANUAL
Manual configuration should not be needed, though some settings from the old QtWebKit-based version may no longer apply to QtWebEngine. The user-visible changes will be of the amount expected for a new major version of a leaf application. From the user's point of view, it will simply be a new library, that may or may not get installed as a dependency by upgrades to their existing packages. Therefore, no changes are required to applications. It will not replace the QtWebKit package. Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change). Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change). List of deliverables: N/A (not a System Wide Change). Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change). Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change). ( Nice-to-have: Look into backporting Samsung's Chromium GStreamer backend : DEFERRED). 
QUPZILLA REVIEWS UPGRADE
Upgrade the qupzilla package in Rawhide to 1.9.99 / 2.0.0 : DONE. Package a QupZilla 1.9.99 snapshot: DONE. Make the package run on i686 machines without SSE2, while degrading performance for SSE2-enabled machines as little as possible: DONE. Unbundle all libraries that can be unbundled: DONE. Get qt5-qtwebengine through review : DONE. Remove patent-encumbered codecs from the upstream tarball using the scripts from spot's Chromium packages: DONE. Package QtWebEngine 5.6.0 beta, based on Helio Castro's initial work: DONE. Compared to QupZilla 1 and other QtWebKit-based browsers, both compatibility with websites and security will be significantly higher. With QupZilla 2, a web browser supporting the latest web standards will be available to our users (and to spin maintainers), as an alternative to Firefox. QtWebEngine is based on a recent version of Chromium (QtWebEngine 5.6 is based on Chromium 45), gets backported security fixes, and will be rebased to a newer Chromium at new Qt releases, as QtWebKit was in the past. QtWebKit is based on an old WebKit branch that was discontinued by upstream WebKit long ago, meaning it lags behind current web standards and even security fixes. Since the Qt upstream project has deprecated QtWebKit in Qt 5.5 and is no longer officially supporting it in Qt 5.6, more and more Qt applications will require QtWebEngine. It will be replaced by the new QupZilla 2, which is instead based on QtWebEngine. QupZilla is a modern, lightweight and fast browser written in Qt. The version initially packaged for Fedora 24 will be QtWebEngine 5.6. QtWebKit will remain available for the foreseeable future, and thus applications currently using QtWebKit are not impacted by this change, unless and until upstream ports them to QtWebEngine. QtWebEngine will be available in Fedora as an additional option. QtWebEngine is the new web engine by the Qt project based on Chromium, effectively replacing QtWebKit, though it is not a drop-in replacement. Release notes owner: Simon Clark ( sclark). In addition, the QupZilla browser will be upgraded to the QtWebEngine-based QupZilla 2. QtWebEngine will be packaged for Fedora, initially at version 5.6.
