Title:
Change UbuntuWebView namespace to Ubuntu.Browser
Status in Ubuntu UI SDK for HTML5 Apps:
New
Status in Web Browser App:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The Ubuntu.Components.Extras namespace (and sub-namespaces) are not
technically part of the Ubuntu SDK (they are "extra"), which means
that their use is not encouraged for app developers outside of
experimentation. Since we want to encourage the use of the
UbuntuWebView component (and discourage he use of QTWebkit), we need
to move it outside of the .Extras namespace.
The precedent for other components is simple Ubuntu.${project}. For
example, content-hub has Ubuntu.Content, online accounts has
Ubuntu.OnlineAccounts, etc. Following that, UbuntuWebView should
reside in the namespace Ubuntu.Browser.
Dropping the component from the old namespace will break some apps in
the store that are using it. The list of those apps can be found
here: https://chinstrap.canonical.com/~alan/log.txt
If it would work, adding a symlink from the old location to the new
might allow those apps to keep working after the change.
