JxBrowser 7.6

We are glad to announce the release of the new JxBrowser 7.6!

Clearing HTTP authentication cache

In JxBrowser 7.6 the API has been extended with functionality that allows you to clear HTTP authentication cache. The following code snippet demonstrates how to do it:

engine.httpAuthCache().clear();

@JsAccessible for default interface methods

The JavaScript-Java bridge functionality has been extended with the possibility to mark the default interface methods with the @JsAccessible annotation to allow JavaScript code accessing these methods as well. For example:

public interface MyInterface {
    @JsAccessible
    default void method() { }
}

SSL connection version for URL request

The UrlRequest class has been extended with the method that allows getting the SSL connection version if it is available and the URL request represents an HTTPS request. For example:

engine.network().on(RequestCompleted.class, event -> {
    event.urlRequest().sslVersion().ifPresent(sslVersion -> {
        System.out.println("SSL version: " + sslVersion);
    });
});

Improvements

  • The HttpHeader.of(String name, String value) method now accepts the empty values.

Fixed issues

  • Content of a web page is not rendered after embedding BrowserView into a JFrame in the hardware accelerated rendering mode on Windows.
  • Incorrect BrowserView display position when it is embedded into JTabbedPane in the hardware accelerated rendering mode.

  • Thread deadlock when hiding BrowserView in the hardware accelerated rendering mode on macOS.
  • BrowserView is still trying to use an already closed channel after its Engine has been closed or crashed. It leads to the unexpected IllegalStateException errors that prevent the application from removing the BrowserView component.

  • The NullPointerException error when accessing DOM nodes from different threads.
  • The NullPointerException error when closing a Browser instance while another instances are visible, in the hardware accelerated rendering mode on Windows and Linux.
  • The mouse scroll events are triggered two times instead of one on a web page in both rendering modes.
  • The cache directory is not created when a user data directory path is specified with ../ on Windows.
  • The Swing BrowserView drag-and-drop events are aborted if the component is hidden before the drop.

  • The *.webm resources are not handled by InterceptRequestCallback in the incognito mode.
