I fixed the doc, the version was not when the component was deprecated, 
but when it was created.

And yes, you need to use a webkit component up to Gambas 3.15. Since 
Gambas 3.16, the webview components deprecated the webkit ones (because 
of Qt).

And this is why I created 'gb.form.htmlview' too: to be able to display 
a subset of HTML without having to depend on a full browser and WebKit.
