Awesomium v1.08, Freshly Made!

Wanted to let you all know that Awesomium v1.08 has just been released! You can download SDKs for MSVC8, MSVC9, and Mac OSX 10.5 immediately here!

Documentation for v1.08 is available here and if you need any help using Awesomium, feel free to post in the forum!

Here’s a summary of what’s gone in since v1.01:

• Updated to Chromium r11619
• Added experimental Flash support for Mac OSX*
• Added the ability to load URLs and execute Javascript in specific frames
• Added a navigation controller (can now go back/forward in page history)
• Made it so i-frames with a prefix of “OIFW_” are prevented from “breaking out” of their respective frames
• Made it so links with target=”_blank” are opened in the calling frame (were previously ignored)
• Modified WebViewListener to be more verbose about which frames certain events originated from as well as added notification for hovering over target URLs
• Modified WebView::injectMouseWheel to scroll by pixel amounts
• Resolved instability when calling WebView::setProperty and WebView::executeJavascript at high rates
• Fixed Flash transparency (wmode=”transparent” was previously ignored)
• Fixed crash upon usage of clipboard-related functions (cut, copy, paste)
• Fixed crash upon activating Street View of Google Maps

* About the experimental Flash support for Mac OSX, you should be aware that you should call WebCore::pause right before handling the message loop in your main thread (usually via SDL_PollEvents) and immediately call WebCore::resume after. Even with this workaround, support is still not perfect at this time (crashes are rare but may occur) and I’ve still yet to add support for keyboard/mouse input.

Enjoy~!
