NW.js v0.13.0-alpha2 is available

[Roger Wang]

(NOTE: This version is a snapshot of the next major version 0.13 which is under active development. For now it’s not compatible with some of the APIs in 0.12, as we are refactoring them with a new technology from upstream. In the final release of 0.13, it will be compatible with all features in 0.12. It’s recommended for you to try this release and give your valuable feedback.)

Hello,

We are pleased to announce NW.js 0.13.0-alpha2. Starting from this version we support the "Mixed Context" mode, where the Node.js objects and DOM objects reside in the same Context (thus will be destroyed upon navigation). The trade-off is that mixed mode is easier to use in some cases, while the normal mode provides better isolation and supports navigation or multi-page application better. For more information, see https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/issues/3107

There are multiple features ported from v0.12:

- Window.capturePage, eval and evalNWBin ported

- 'inject-js-start' and 'inject-js-end' ported

- support setting manifest in 'new-win-policy' callback

- Window 'loading' and 'loaded' event ported

Starting from 0.13.0-alpha0 we've been supporting Chrome Apps and many chrome.* APIs. For more information about it, see the previous announcement: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/nwjs-general/IqfH1RXNGlw/2PgeRGHO-B4J

To turn on the Mixed Context mode, add '--mixed-context' to the command line or set 'mixed-context' to true in manifest.

When it's off, it should have zero side effect on the normal mode.

Still having problems with streams(even in third party libraries that uses file streams like node-wkhtmltopdf for example):

var spawn = nw.require('child_process').spawn,
  pr = spawn('whatever');

/*...do something...*/

pr.stdin.setEncoding = 'utf-8';
pr.stdin.write("some text\n");
pr.stdin.end(); // got error node.js:545 Uncaught Error {message: "Implement me. Unknown stream file type!"}

And does not work on different location other than local content (for example localhost or another url):

{

  "name": "Test",

  "description":"Test NWJS v13"

  ,"main": "http://localhost/"

  ,"node-remote":["localhost"]
}

(in console i get "nw is not defined" error)

I did a hook for this when I was working with johnny-five (node-serialport) and node-webkit. Hope this help you.

i don't understand your answer:

in v12 it worked and i get errors also in native node.js modules so it's not an error on my part.

Window.capturePage? What is this, exactly? I haven't been able to find any documentation on it.

It’s for taking a screenshot of the window. You get the image as an argument. 

try this and you can see whats in it.

window.capturePage(function(img){ console.dir(img); });

Hope it helps.

How close is NW.js from supporting NaCL?

[ja...@jakeonthenet.com]

What is the status of pdf support in nwjs? I would like to use pdf.dll as well as print to pdf. I also noticed pdf.dll was not included in the nw13 windows downloads (at least 64bit)

[Pedro Lucas da Silva Junior]

You can try pdf.js.

 Hello,

The new version of Chromium has pdf support built in. So we still support this in nw13.

Roger

It shouldn't be hard to enable NaCL in NW.js v0.13, because we've adjusted the architecture a little bit to bring more Chromium features to NW.

Currently I'm focusing on migrating all NW v0.12 features and APIs to the new architecture. Once that's done I'll look into NaCL support.

Regards,

Roger

Roger,

Thanks for the reply. I have the v.13 alpha but PDF.dll isn't included (it is present in v.12.2.)

Is PDF.dll not required in v.13? Does v.12.2 support PDF?

Thanks,

Jake

Hi all,

I just tried it with my RaptorGL editor and it looks like it ignores the settings in package.json file. It just loads an empty window.

Not sure if thats part of the API thats not compatible so I thought I let you know.

Thank you.

Any idea how close to a final version ?

[Roger Wang]

Hello,

We'll release alpha3 soon, in which a big part -- the menu API is ported. Then there are still some features to be ported. After all the features ported we can enter beta.

Thanks,

Roger
