NuGet package for WebView2 SDK 1.0.2739.15

For full API compatibility, this Release version of the WebView2 SDK requires WebView2 Runtime version 128.0.2739.15 or higher.

Promotions

The following APIs have been promoted to Stable and are now included in this Release SDK.

Web notification handling

Added support for Web Notification, for non-persistent notifications. The NotificationReceived event for CoreWebView2 controls web notification handling, allowing customization or suppression by the host app. Unhandled notifications default to WebView2's UI.

1.0.2730-prerelease

Release Date: August 7, 2024

NuGet package for WebView2 SDK 1.0.2730-prerelease

For full API compatibility, this Prerelease version of the WebView2 SDK requires the WebView2 Runtime that ships with Microsoft Edge version 128.0.2730.0 or higher.

Experimental APIs

The following Experimental APIs have been added in this Prerelease SDK.

  • Added new Throttling Controls APIs which allows for efficient resource management by allowing you to throttle JavaScript timers. This is helpful in scenarios where a WebView2 control needs to remain visible, but needs to consume fewer resources (such as when the user isn't interacting with the content). These Throttling Controls APIs allow you to:
    • Customize script timers (setTimeout and setInterval) throttling under different page states (foreground, background, and background with intensive throttling).
    • Throttle script timers in select hosted iframes.
.NET/C#
WinRT/C#

The following APIs have been promoted from Experimental to Stable in this Prerelease SDK.

  • Added SaveAs APIs that allow you to programmatically perform the Save as operation. You can use these APIs to block the default Save as dialog, and then either save silently, or build your own UI for Save as. These APIs pertain only to the Save as dialog, not the Download dialog, which continues to use the existing Download APIs.

  • Added support for Web Notification, for non-persistent notifications. The NotificationReceived event for CoreWebView2 controls web notification handling, allowing customization or suppression by the host app. Unhandled notifications default to WebView2's UI.
.NET/C#
WinRT/C#
Win32/C++

Bug fixes

Runtime-only

  • Fixed an issue where the app window couldn't be controlled via system commands (such as Alt+F4 or Alt+Spacebar) when the focus was in WebView2 for Visual hosting mode. (Issue #2961)

  • Fixed a bug in WebView2 UWP where the Find bar couldn't be clicked into from the host app.

SDK-only

  • Adding the missing WinRT CoreWebView2Notification.VibrationPattern API. This WinRT API can be combined with the stable notification API promotion release notes; see "Web Notification" and NotificationReceived for WinRT, immediately above.

  • Fixed an issue where KeyDown events from the WinForms WebView2 control didn't include the correct ModifierKeys information. (Issue #1216)

  • Fixed x86 for WinRT C# projection.

  • Made CreateCoreWebView2Environment and GetAvailableCoreWebView2BrowserVersionString more robust against potential race condition during Runtime update.

1.0.2592.51

Release Date: June 19, 2024

NuGet package for WebView2 SDK 1.0.2592.51

For full API compatibility, this Release version of the WebView2 SDK requires WebView2 Runtime version 126.0.2592.51 or higher.

Promotions

No additional APIs have been promoted to Stable and added in this Release SDK.

Bug fixes

Runtime-only

  • Disabled BreakoutBoxPreferCaptureTimestampInVideoFrame for WebView2 TextureStream.

  • Fixed a bug where the autofill popup dismisses immediately and causes a focus change.

  • Fixed a bug where WebView2 fails to load because of AppPolicyGetWindowingModel. (Issue #4591)

1.0.2646-prerelease

Release Date: June 19, 2024

NuGet package for WebView2 SDK 1.0.2646-prerelease

For full API compatibility, this Prerelease version of the WebView2 SDK requires the WebView2 Runtime that ships with Microsoft Edge version 128.0.2646.0 or higher.

General features

  • Added support for C#/WinRT .NET 6+.

Experimental features

  • Introduced the feature flag msWebView2EnableDownloadContentInWebResourceResponseReceived, an an Experimental feature (rather than as a Stable feature). When this flag is enabled, this allows responses of navigations that become downloads to be available in WebResourceResponseReceived.

Experimental APIs

The following Experimental APIs have been added in this Prerelease SDK.

  • Added a new SaveFileSecurityCheckStarting event. As a developer, you can register a handler on this event to get the file path, filename extension, and document origin URI information. Then you can apply your own rules to do actions such as the following:
    • Allow saving the file without presenting a default security-warning UI about the file-type policy.
    • Cancel the saving.
    • Create your own UI to manage runtime file-type policies.
.NET/C#
WinRT/C#
Win32/C++
  • Added a new ScreenCaptureStarting event. This event is raised whenever the WebView2 and/or iframe that corresponds to the CoreWebView2Frame (or to any of its descendant iframes) requests permission to use the Screen Capture API before the UI is shown. As a developer, you can then choose to block the UI from being displayed, or allow the UI to be displayed.
.NET/C#
WinRT/C#
Win32/C++
  • Added a new GetComICoreWebView2 method to the CoreWebView2 .NET class that enables you to convert a CoreWebView2 between .NET and COM. Added a new WinRT interface that enables you to convert a CoreWebView2 between WinRT and COM. This allows you to interoperate between libraries that are written in different languages.
.NET/C#
WinRT/C#
Win32/C++

Not applicable.

Promotions

The following APIs have been promoted from Experimental to Stable in this Prerelease SDK.

  • Updated the WebMessageObjects API to allow injecting DOM objects into WebView2 content that's constructed via the app, and via the CoreWebView2.PostWebMessage API in the other direction. Added a new web object type to represent a file system handle that can be posted to the web content to provide it with filesystem access.
.NET/C#
WinRT/C#
Win32/C++

Bug fixes

Runtime-only
  • Fixed a bug in owned-window activation logic for visual hosting.

  • Fixed an issue where full-trust UWP apps couldn't display owned windows.
