WxWebkit updates

How goes the wxwebkit development lately? I didn't see any news since
5th Nov, when preview1 came out.
Wxwebkit.dll is giving some weird segfaults and crashing my app. I
hope the lastest version had fixed those glitches and Kevin Ollivier
has some news (and download links too!), as I'm too dumb to build
myself a binary.

Thanks!

Hi Gabriel,

How goes the wxwebkit development lately? I didn't see any news since
5th Nov, when preview1 came out.

hope the lastest version had fixed those glitches and Kevin Ollivier

myself a binary.

I've been working on a couple major feature updates, which is why I've been quiet. For example, we now have initial plugin support for Win and Mac now. There's also been some fixes, like for nested frames. I hope to have a release in the not-too-distant future, but I keep getting sucked into adding new stuff and wanting (well, needing in most cases!) to complete it before the release. :wink:

Anyway, regarding crashes or rendering glitches, it's best if you can post examples that cause the problems so I can take a look. If they aren't fixed yet, it'd probably be better for me to fix them before I make the next release. :wink:

Thanks,

Kevin

Speaking of wxWebkit, I may have occasion to use it, if it'll handle my situation: I want a browser window in which I can use Google maps. The HTML would be simple, just a div to put the map in; the bulk of it would be JS, both local and sourced from maps.google.com. Can wxWebkit handle this, now or in the near future?

Thanks,

Given that the assert DJ is getting is from embedding Google Maps, I suspect it'd probably hit you too. :frowning: However, there's nothing fundamental missing about the support for this AFAICT, it's probably just a bug or function I haven't gotten around to implementing yet in the guts of wxWebKit, so it's probably in the "near future" category.

In any case, the more people who try stuff and report problems, the more that will get fixed and improved. :slight_smile: Especially with complex JS stuff, I need test cases as the JSCore tests do pass and so it's not something that can be caught with the automated tests apparently.

Thanks,

Kevin

Kevin, thanks for the reply.

In that spirit, here's a little web page that might help: http://pastebin.com/m4a4baa46; it shows a city with several addresses marked. I captured it from the application that generated it. If that works, I could probably use wxWebkit; turns out I don't need it right now, though...
