<p>Not entirely sure we can do that, the old KNewStuff widgets are quite tightly bound to the widget world... It might be possible with a touch of heavy duty header wrangling (keeping it abi compatible would be a fair bit of work, though not impossible). At the very least, though, i'd like to perhaps do that as a sort of... second step after these components have been created. In short: Doable, but quite possibly more work than it'd be worth (when compared to straight up deprecation-and-porting-guide).</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R304 KNewStuff</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D21721">https://phabricator.kde.org/D21721</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>leinir<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>ngraham, kde-frameworks-devel, LeGast00n, michaelh, bruns<br /></div>
