JxBrowser 7.3

Oracle has released the new JDK, Apple has released the new macOS, and we have released the new JxBrowser, supporting both of them, for you to enjoy the updates right away.

Besides, JxBrowser 7.3 got way more stable and reliable with all the fixes and improvements, introduced in this release.

macOS Catalina

This month Apple has announced the public release of macOS Catalina (10.15). JxBrowser 7.3 has been tested on this operating system and now officially supports it.

Java 13

Oracle announced the GA release of JDK 13. And starting with version 7.3 JxBrowser officially supports it on the Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms.

Browser initiated URL request

In the BeforeSendHeadersCallback and ReceiveHeadersCallback callbacks you can access the Browser instance, which initiated the corresponding URL request. For example:

network.set(BeforeSendHeadersCallback.class, params -> {
    // Access the Browser instance initiated this URL request.
    params.browser().ifPresent(browser -> {});
    return BeforeSendHeadersCallback.Response.proceed();
});

network.set(ReceiveHeadersCallback.class, params -> {
    // Access the Browser instance initiated this URL request.
    params.browser().ifPresent(browser -> {});
    return ReceiveHeadersCallback.Response.proceed();
});

Disabling BrowserView

Now you can disable/enable both the Swing and JavaFX BrowserView component in both rendering modes using the BrowserView.setEnabled(boolean) method. The disabled BrowserView renders web content as usual but ignores the user input.

Improvements

The library checks all the required dependencies on Linux platform and throws an exception if some dependencies are missing and must be installed. The checking mechanism takes into account the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
Swing BrowserView is now positioned correctly inside a container without layout manager in the hardware accelerated rendering mode.

Fixed issues

Wrong scaling when moving BrowserView on macOS from an HiDPI to Non-HiDPI display and vice versa.
Broken painting when removing and adding the same Swing BrowserView component in the off-screen rendering mode.
Infinite await after closing an Engine instance during stopping JavaFX application.
Overriding URL request with the same HTTP headers in the ReceiveHeadersCallback callback leading to an issue when some websites stop loading.
The java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to determine action class error when registering a callback which implements two or more callback interfaces.
The Swing BrowserView bounds are incorrect when displayed on the monitor with the scale factor > 100% and when the --force-device-scale-factor=1.0 Chromium switch is used.

Flickering during resizing WebGL content on Linux in the off-screen rendering mode.
