Re: [wtp-dev] Notice that preliminary support for HTML5 will be in WTP S

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I'm reading the bug correctly, the HTML5 support comes from a
non-committer contribution. Even with a service release, you'll still
need to have your IP Log reviewed/updated.

Does this change come with any additions/changes in API?
