JxBrowser 8.13.0

Sandbox on Linux

In JxBrowser 8.13.0, the Chromium sandbox is now enabled on Linux. This sandbox is a crucial security feature that has already been available on Windows and macOS.

Action required

Chromium relies on user namespaces to sandbox subprocesses. When this feature is unavailable, JxBrowser cannot start Chromium and throws a SandboxNotSupportedException during Engine initialization.

On some Linux distributions, this feature may be unavailable to unprivileged users. To enable it, follow our sandbox setup guide and configure your operating system accordingly.

New JavaScript types

In this version, we add two new data types that are automatically converted between Java and JavaScript:

  • BigInt ↔ java.math.BigInteger
  • Symbol ↔ com.teamdev.jxbrowser.js.JsSymbol

For example:

BigInteger number = frame.executeJavaScript("9007199254740991n");
JsSymbol symbol = frame.executeJavaScript("Symbol('bacf2f')");

Check out the JavaScript guide for more details.

GraalVM support

Starting with JxBrowser 8.13.0, we officially support GraalVM. Check out the system requirements to see the full list of supported JREs.

Permission for Wake Lock API

Now, you can grant JavaScript code permission to use Wake Lock API:

profile.permissions().set(RequestPermissionCallback.class, (params, tell) -> {
    if (params.permissionType() == WAKE_LOCK_SCREEN) {
        tell.grant();
    } else{
        tell.deny();
    }
});

Chromium 142.0.7444.60

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 dropdowns, color and date pickers, as well as other dialogs that didn’t appear in Compose/OFF_SCREEN on Windows.
  • Fixed IllegalArgumentException when converting instances of JavaScript BigInt and Symbol to Java types.
  • Removed usage of System.getProperties() that has required permission from the security manager.
