Yes, this is quite new. Its main target version is 37.0.2062.94, which 
is also the current stable version of Chromium in meta-browser.

These talks were related regarding some ideas for the implementation, 
but the code itself is completely new.

As for WebKit-GTK, I have heard of some efforts for it, but this was 
told to me offline, and it was months ago. I don't follow its development.
