JxBrowser 4.1 Released

We are glad to announce that JxBrowser 4.1 is out. In this update we added support of two more platforms (Windows Server 2008 and 2012) and taking into account feedback from our customers we also added several missing features, such as LoadHandler, KeyFilter, ConsoleListener etc.

JxBrowser 4 is now compatible with JxBrowser 3.x, so you can use both 3.x and 4.x libraries in the same Java application. With the Browser.getNodeAtPoint() method you can find DOMNode at a specific location on loaded web page. The memory usage has been also improved in this version.

The full list of changes in the version 4.1 is available on the JxBrowser 4.1 Release Notes page.

The update is available for download. Please find online samples for JxBrowser available on our support site.

We would be glad to hear your feedback and provide help with usage of our product on our support forum.

JxBrowser 4.0 Released

Today we are launching the long-awaited official JxBrowser 4.0. The new major version is based on one of the most powerful web browser engine - Google Chromium, leaving behind the support of separate browsers for different platforms.

Now JxBrowser provides a totally lightweight Browser Swing UI component. You can forget about memory usage issues caused by native web browser engine allocating too much memory of your Java process. All the native code runs in separate native processes, so if the native web browser control crashes for some reason (e.g. crash in plugin), your Java application will continue working and you can restore the browser control.

JxBrowser 4.0 has been in beta for four months and over this time gained new features, improved API and new platforms support. JxBrowser 4.0 supports Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms and provides reach and simple API with many features. The full list of changes since Beta 3 release is available on the JxBrowser 4.0 Release Notes page.

To help you migrate your code from 3.x API to 4.x API we prepared the migration document.

The update is available for download. Please find online samples for JxBrowser available on our support site.
