JxBrowser 7.14
Good news everyone! A new version is available for download. In this version the Chromium engine has been upgraded to version 89.
Chromium 89
Chromium has been updated to version 89.0.4389.90.
This Chromium version includes several important security fixes, so we recommend that you upgrade your JxBrowser to v7.14.
Flash EOL
Chromium does not support Flash anymore. All the Flash-related functionality is removed from its source code. In this version we remove the following Flash-related API too:
EngineOptions.ppapiFlashPath()
EngineOptions.ppapiFlashVersion()
EngineOptions.Builder.ppapiFlashPath(Path ppapiFlashPath)
EngineOptions.Builder.ppapiFlashVersion(String ppapiFlashVersion)
Improvements
- Rectangular shape of
BrowserView
is now enforced on Linux in both rendering modes. In the previous versionsBrowserView
had rounded corners. - The number of Chromium processes when instantiating an
Engine
instance is reduced. In the previous version, Chromium launched 7 processes: Main, GPU, 2x Utility, 3x Renderer. Now only 4 processes are launched: Main, GPU, Utility, Renderer. - It got possible to create HAR files in DevTools.
- Chromium traffic to the local network IPs has been disabled. We figured out that even
when Chromium traffic is disabled, Chromium
still sends request to URLs such as URLs
http://10.0.0.17:8060
orhttp://192.168.1.188
. These URLs are related to the Media Router feature used by Chromium to discover media devices it can cast to. Since the library doesn’t support casting to the media devices, we disabled this feature to suppress such URL requests. - Always return focus to JavaFX when closing
BrowserView
.
Fixed issues
- GPU crash on Linux in the off-screen rendering mode.
- GPU crash on Windows and Linux in the hardware accelerated rendering mode when displaying HTML tooltips.
- The
InvalidProtocolBufferException
error whenBeforeSendUploadDataCallback.Params.uploadData()
has non-UTF-8 text. Now, if the upload data has non-UTF-8 text, the data is treated ascom.teamdev.jxbrowser.net.BytesData
. - Wrong scaling after hiding and showing
BrowserView
on a secondary display with scale factor different than the primary display on Windows. - Flickering when adding/removing
BrowserView
from a JavaFX SplitPane in the hardware accelerated rendering mode on Windows. - Popup window reducing its size when resized.
- The web page not loaded because of the SSL handshake failure when navigating to a certain HTTPS URL.
- Broken jQuery file drag and drop in the off-screen rendering mode.
- The
FocusGained
event not fired on macOS. - Chromium binaries verification failing with permission error on Linux.
- The default spell checker context menu not being closed when clicking outside it on Windows.
- The read/write permissions for JavaScript Clipboard API not being granted.
- Broken Chromium Win32 binaries verification.
- Crash on web pages with text input during spell checker initialization.
