QtWebEngine Pre-Compiled

I was wondering if the final release of 5.4 would include pre-built binaries (packages) for QtWebEngine? If so, on which platforms? I know with 5.3 and WebKit, it is ready to go without the need for any external builds. Yet, with the 5.4 beta is seems that you cannot use WebEngine without compiling it separately. I am wondering if this is the way it will be or is this an interim beta behavior?

I think it will be precompiled like all proper modules in the release.

You can check the RC packages here: "link":http://download.qt-project.org/snapshots/qt/5.4/5.4.0-rc/.

Anyone coming across this, the answer is yes. Update to 5.4 and download the quicknanobrowser to get started. No need to compile the "WebEngine" on Windows or Mac.
