Edge Chromium Stable Support!
Tuesday, September 1, 2020
Stable

Microsoft has just released v85.0.564.41 into the stable build and therefore we can now officially announce that our TAdvWebBrowser component is working without the need for an additional browser installation! Up until now, it was necessary to install an additional browser from one of the insider channels (beta, dev, canary). As the previous versions were introducing breaking changes, we decided to build our API wrappers against a more stable version and allow more time for testing. Today the day has come that we can just use the TAdvBrowser against the stable build, out of the box. This means that all insider builds can be uninstalled, and you can deploy your application to an up-to-date Windows 10 environment. That's right, the Microsoft Edge Chromium browser should automatically be installed on any Windows 10 machine.

TMS VCL UI Pack 10.4 & RAD Studio 10.4.1
The TMS VCL UI Pack 10.4 update is adding support for the Microsoft Edge Chromium stable version, so go ahead and download the latest available release and start exploring the possibilities of the browser. Note that the WebView2Loader_x86.dll and the WebView2Loader_x64.dll are still a necessary deployment for communication between client and browser. Please follow the steps at this page. We can also confirm TAdvWebBrowser in combination with Edge Chromium has been tested and is working on RAD Studio 10.4.1.More features coming in the near future
The features that are currently existing are:- Navigate to an URL
- Load HTML
- Debug through the developer console
- Add a JavaScript to client bridge
- Capture a webpage screenshot
- Execute JavaScript code with support for asynchronous callbacks
What about FNC?
We are currently applying a lot of smaller improvements, and are testing new features for TMS FNC Maps. As this process takes time and we also want to make sure to properly test the stable release against our FNC components, we plan on releasing an FNC update next week. Stay tuned!Pieter Scheldeman
