JxBrowser 6.24
We are glad to announce the release of the new JxBrowser 6.24!
In this update we extended the public API with the new features you have been asking for the most and fixed a lot of reported issues.
Please note that this update is the last minor update of JxBrowser 6 that extends the public API with the new functionality. All the new features, Chromium upgrades, support of the new operating systems and JDKs, different enhancements, etc. will be applied on top of the latest (mainstream) version. The current mainstream version is 7.0. We strongly recommend that you upgrade your projects that use JxBrowser to the latest JxBrowser version.
JxBrowser 6 will be supported by the end of 2019. Please check the FAQ section in our “Migrating from 6.x to 7.0” guide.
Features & improvements
Chromium switches
- The
--hide-scrollbars
switcher that allows hiding scroll bars on the web pages. - The
--disable-touch-menu
switcher that blocks the touch popup menu on Windows. - The
--autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required
switcher that allows enabling autoplay on the web pages. By default, autoplay is disabled.
API
- The
DOMElement DOMAttributeNode.getOwnerElement()
method that allows getting theDOMElement
node this attribute is attached to. - The
List<Certificate> CertificateVerifyParams.getIntermediateCertificates()
method that allows getting the intermediate certificate list retrieved from the server that can be used to reconstruct and verify the complete certificate chain. - The
LoadParams.isMainFrame()
method that allows you to know if it’s a main frame initiated this load request. - The
BoundsListener
interface that allows handling requests to resize/move browser window through theresizeTo()
,resizeBy()
,moveTo()
, andmoveBy()
JavaScript functions. - The
FocusListener
interface that allows getting notifications when JavaScript requests to set focus to aBrowser
instance.
Other features and improvements
- Support of the JavaScript NaN in JavaScript-Java bridge.
- Support of internationalization (i18n) when browsing local file system.
- Prevent the
XPathResult
objects from being garbage collected while it is used in Java code. - Avoid the bug in JDK with the
"java.io.IOException: error=26, Text file busy"
error on extracting binaries on Linux. - Include the information about the product details such as version, copyright, product name, etc. to the JxBrowser binaries details on Windows platform.
- Improve security by disabling functionality that allows ignoring SSL certificate errors and loading HTTPS web pages with invalid SSL certificates by default. Now, such web pages will not be loaded by default and you will get an error page complaining about invalid SSL certificate.
Fixed issues
- Thread leak during converting a massive number of HTML documents to PDF. The
"Printing_Worker"
threads are being leaked for eachBrowser.print()
call and eventually, the program fails. - Thread deadlock when setting custom protocol handler from
