DotNetBrowser 1.8.3

We focused on improving the following areas:

Performance

• Improved page load performance.
• Improved page scrolling smoothness. Now there is no visible delay when scrolling the loaded web page via dragging the scrollbar.

DOM API

Added the ability to obtain DOMElement position properties:

• DOMElement.OffsetTop
• DOMElement.OffsetLeft
• DOMElement.OffsetWidth
• DOMElement.OffsetHeight
• DOMElement.ClientTop
• DOMElement.ClientLeft
• DOMElement.ClientWidth
• DOMElement.ClientHeight
• DOMElement.ScrollTop
• DOMElement.ScrollLeft
• DOMElement.ScrollWidth
• DOMElement.ScrollHeight

New Features

• Ability to configure proxy when browser is running. The previous versions of DotNetBrowser allowed to configure proxy settings only once – before creating a Browser instance. Now it is possible to switch to another proxy without creating a new Browser.
• HTML5 App Cache support. This type of cache is used by some web applications to make them accessible even without an internet connection.
• Ability to intercept HTTP response and access its contents. The previous versions of DotNetBrowser were able to intercept the requests, but not the responses.

Bugfixes

• Fixed keyboard event handling for Windows Forms heavyweight control. In previous versions, the proper key events were not fired for this control.
• Fixed an issue related to processing the User-Agent string with spaces.
