JxBrowser 8.12.0

Override time zones for Chromium

Starting with JxBrowser 8.12.0, you can launch Chromium engine with an arbitrary time zone:

val timeZone = ZoneId.of("Asia/Shanghai");
val options = EngineOptions.newBuilder(HARDWARE_ACCELERATED)
                           .timeZone(timeZone)
                           .build();
val engine = Engine.newInstance(timeZone);

By default, Chromium uses the system time zone.

Breaking change in loadHtml()

In this version, we have replaced the Frame.loadHtml(...) with the Navigation.loadHtml(...) method.

8.11.0 and earlier:

browser.mainFrame().ifPresent(frame -> {
    frame.loadHtml("<html>Hello!</html>");
});

Starting with 8.12.0:

browser.navigation().loadHtml("<html>Hello!</html>");

The implementation of loadHtml() hasn’t changed. This method converts HTML into a data: URL, and is a subject to the URL length limit of 2 * 1024 * 1024 characters.

Chromium 140.0.7339.81

We upgraded Chromium to a newer version, which introduces important security fixes. Among them:

You can read more about it in the Chromium blog posts:

Quality enhancements

  • Fixed horizontal scrolling now works in SWT BrowserView.

  • Fixed the issue when TextFinder returned incorrect results in the case-sensitive mode.

  • Fixed the engine.setTheme() method that had no effect on Linux.

  • An intermittent NullPointerException is no longer thrown when closing browser in the off-screen mode in SWT.

  • Removed the verifier.exe file from the jxbrowser-win* artifacts, because it was falsely flagged by antiviruses.

    This was used for verifying Chromium binaries. We introduced it as a workaround for the Windows Defender issue. The file is no longer needed, as the issue was resolved on the Defender’s end.
