This year again the WebKitGTK+ hackfest<\/a> took place at the Igalia<\/a> office in A Coru\u00f1a, and this year again it’s been awesome.<\/p>\n

My main goal for the hackfest was to implement an extension system for the web process in WebKit2<\/a>, that would allow, among other things, to access the DOM, which is the major regression of the WebKit2 GTK+ API<\/a>. The idea was to use the exactly same GObject DOM bindings API we are currently using in WebKit1, so I moved it to a convenient static library<\/a> and installed the public headers in its own directory<\/a> making it shareable between WebKit1 and WebKit2. Once GObject DOM bindings were accessible from WebKit2 I wrote a first patch to implement the web extension system<\/a> providing a new API for extensions to access the DOM.<\/p>\n

I also took advantage of the hackfest time, to re-take a task I had pending for some time, adding an API to WebKit2 to handle SSL errors. I didn’t have time to finish the API, but managed to write a first patch to set a policy for SSL errors<\/a>. For now it only allows to ignore SSL errors and continue the load or make the load fail in case of SSL errors. The idea is to add a new policy to ask the user what to do.<\/p>\n

Even though it was not part of my initial plans for the hackfest I ended up working on the document reading integration in Epiphany. I wrote an initial patch<\/a> for Epiphany to load documents supported by Evince embedded in the window like a web view. There are still a lot of features to integrate like zooming, searching, printing, etc.<\/p>\n

I set a milestone to switch Epiphany to WebKit2 by default at the end of the hackfest, but I didn’t have time to fix all the regressions. We are a lot closer, though.<\/p>\n

This event is impossible without the sponsors, thanks!<\/p>\n
