GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
arora and qtweb(http://code.google.com/p/qtweb/) seems to have same goal 
with same tool...
did you plan to share code? collaborate?

QtWeb is a fork of an older version of Arora.  The source code is not in the 
google code svn and last I checked 
looked like it might not be in any revision control system at all.  The author 
has also made many changes that 
force the code to only work on Windows for no reason whatsoever as Qt 
multi-platform version of the code he 
writes exists.  Simple things like not using QTemporaryFile, but using win32 
will never be accepted into Arora.  
Also several features introduced by qtweb that I would call broken would never 
be accepted in the current 
state.  Lastly the author of qtweb has never come forward looking to possibly 
merge the fork.

There are several dozen forks of Arora that I am aware of.  Most of them are by 
developers who just want to 
try out QtWebKit or add some special feature they want.  For those developers 
that want to get a feature 
merged back into Arora I have helped them fixup any patches.  I have also seen 
some interesting features in 
the forks that I have incorporated into Arora, but at the end of the day I 
encourage forking Arora to try out 
new things and to not have Arora be the one and only repository as that is very 
good for the qtwebkit 
community and not every feature can go into Arora as they don't match the Arora 
goals.

I agree with florian. Despite Arora is cross-platform, Arora 0.10.1 for Windows 
uses 
old build of Qt  4.5.3 and WebKit too

So, Qtweb is not old fork of Arora, but the newest (much ahead of Arora) !

Qtweb 3.3
(Qt 4.6.1 , WebKit 532.4)

What I know Qt 4.6.2 is just stable, and things working to Qt 4.7
http://qt.nokia.com/about/news/nokia-releases-qt-4.6.2

I requested (pleased) for upgrade on windows build, same as many other user on 
Arora 
development forum, but still nothing...

Sad to say, Arora fo Windows is too old
