Release notes for Microsoft Edge WebView2 SDK, release date: Oct. 28, 2019.

NuGet package for WebView2 SDK 0.8.314 - This release has been unlisted at NuGet.

This Release version of the WebView2 SDK requires Microsoft Edge version 80.0.314.0 or later; see Runtime 80.8.355 (Dec. 9, 2019).

Changes

  • Added support for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1. See Supported Windows versions in Introduction to Microsoft Edge WebView2.

  • Added Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code debug support for WebView2. Now, debug your script in the WebView2 right from your IDE. See How to debug when developing with WebView2 controls.

  • Added Native Object Injection for the running script in WebView2 to access an IDispatch object from the Win32 component of the app and access the properties of the IDispatch object. See AddRemoteObject (#17).

  • Added AcceleratorKeyPressed event. See add_AcceleratorKeyPressed (#57).

  • Turned off the Context Menus. See put_AreDefaultContextMenusEnabled (#57).

  • Updated DPI Awareness. Now, the DPI awareness of the WebView2 control is the same as the DPI awareness of the host app.

    Note

    If another hybrid app is launched with a different DPI Awareness than the original WebView2 control instance, the new WebView2 control instance isn't launched if the user data folder is the same (#1).

  • Updated Notification Change Behavior so WebView2 automatically rejects notification permission requests prompted by web content hosted in the WebView2 control.
