JxBrowser 8.14.0

Adding words for spell checking 

In this version, we have extended the API with a method to add new words to a spell-checking dictionary in bulk, which is faster for multiple words:

// Add one word at a time.
dictionary.add("JxBrowser");

// Add multiple words at once:
Set<String> words = Set.of("JxBrowser", "TeamDev", "OFF_SCREEN");
dictionary.add(words);

Converting CompletableFuture to Promise 

Starting with JxBrowser 8.14.0, you can pass CompletableFuture objects to JavaScript and JxBrowser will automatically convert them to Promise:

var future = CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> "Hello world");
window.putProperty("myPromise", future);
frame.executeJavaScript("""
    myPromise
        .then((result) => console.log(result))
        .catch((error) => console.log(error))
""");

Note that converting Promise back to CompletableFuture is not supported. Use JsPromise in this case. Read the JavaScript guide for more details.

IME on Linux 

Beginning with JxBrowser 8.14.0, IME support on Linux is now complete, including in the native input mode.
