New Incremental Release, Awesomium v1.5.1
// January 28th, 2010 // 2 Comments » // News
We’ve just released a new incremental release of Awesomium! Get it while it’s hot over at the download page.
For help upgrading from v1.5.0, please see Upgrading to Awesomium v1.5.1.
This new release bring some neat new enhancements, the most notable of which is improved support for the handling of external links. An external link is any link that normally is opened in a new window (typically, via target=”_blank”, window.open(url), or URL events from Flash). The default behavior in v1.5.0 was to open external links automatically in the calling frame however some users desired more flexibility (ie, opening the external link in an outside application). So, in response, we added WebView::setOpensExternalLinksInCallingFrame and added a new notification, WebViewListener::onOpenExternalLink.
Also of consequence, all the member methods of WebViewListener now specify which WebView invoked the event as the first argument. This is an API-breaking change but we felt that it was needed for the sake of future convenience.
Finally, we have also added an oft-requested feature: the ability to override the default user-agent. See the last parameter of the WebCore constructor for more.
