Spell Checker and Media Device API in JxBrowser 6.2

JxBrowser 6.2 is now available.

In this update we implemented some long-awaited features. With this release JxBrowser introduces support of Windows Server 2016 platform and ability to listen to custom DOM Events. On top of the print functionality available previously, we have added the ability to print the selected text on a loaded web page and adjust print settings when user needs to save a web page as PDF. We have also introduced a brand-new Spell Checker API, support of HTML5 input element with type=color, and made more improvements.

For those, looking for the full list of the features and improvements, we have prepared an explicit Release Note record.

All these great new features are available in the new build ready to download.

JavaScript-Java Bridge API in JxBrowser 6.1

JxBrowser 6.1 is available for download. In this minor update we added new powerful features and extended existing API with new capabilities:

• Brand-new JavaScript-Java Bridge API with new features has been implemented. Which is great news, because now you can inject any Java object into JavaScript code and work with Java objects like with typical JavaScript object.
• LocalStorage and SessionStorage API that allows working with HTML5 web storages from Java has been implemented.
• ScriptContext listener API that allows getting notifications when web page has been loaded but JavaScript on it hasn’t been executed yet has been added. Using this listener you can execute any JavaScript code before JavaScript code on the loaded web page will be executed.
• Several critical issues reported by our customers have been fixed.
• Stability and memory usage in Chromium engine have been improved.
• Data transferring between Java and Chromium processes now works ~10 times faster.
