[r0x0r]

4.0 is going to be next major release with the following breaking changes

• Deprecated events will be removed.

Other changes planned for this release:

• Cookie / incognito support https://github.com/r0x0r/pywebview/issues/531

• TBA

To be released some time this year.

Not progressing at all unfortunately.

Will there be support for Python > 3.8 coming soon?

I'm currently on 3.10 and I'm not sure how the setup will be if I install another version of Python. I've never done that before and I've only been using single version.

[r0x0r]

@shirooo39 support for > 3.8 is already possible by installing pythonnet 3.0

Hi,

What is the recommended way to install the 4.0 version?

pip install git+https://github.com/r0x0r/pywebview/tree/4.0 does not seem to work propertly.

Thanks.

https://pypi.org/project/pywebview/#history

this pywebview 4.0 version is not show in pypi.org

in this current time show 3.6.3 version

[r0x0r]

@martinlombana the correct syntax is pip install git+https://github.com/r0x0r/[email protected] @MominIqbal-1234 4.0 is not on pypi, as it is not released yet

@shirooo39 support for > 3.8 is already possible by installing pythonnet 3.0

Is another 3.6 series release planned before 4.0? It would be nice to have 3.6.4 with this fix (already merged) that adds compatibility with pythonnet 3.0.0.

[r0x0r]

@simonrob Yeah, I will release a new 3.x version before 4.0 as there are too many critical fixes.

[r0x0r]

@simonrob 3.7 is now on pypi

Can you add an easy way to change the title bar color?

[r0x0r]

@GGTEC This is not a simple task because of platform differences.

[MominIqbal-1234]

hi @r0x0r when you release stable version of webview 4.0 and please tell me why you use bottle framework in webview 4.0 in my option flask is best and please explain your option thanks :)

[MominIqbal-1234]

@GGTEC you try this code

import webview import time def resize(window): print('Window size is ({0}, {1})'.format(window.width, window.height)) time.sleep(2) window.resize(420, 420) print('Window size is ({0}, {1})'.format(window.width, window.height))

window = webview.create_window('Resize window example', html='hello world',frameless=True, width=800, height=600) webview.start(resize, window)

hi @r0x0r when you release stable version of webview 4.0 and please tell me why you use bottle framework in webview 4.0 in my option flask is best and please explain your option thanks :)

It is fast, simple, single file and has no external dependencies

[GGTEC]

This is good for simple resizing, nothing dynamic, I use it to maximize the window, but the problem is when it is necessary to change the monitor... or change the size of just one side, it is something complex for something 'simple'

[MominIqbal-1234]

@r0x0r and please tell me data of stable release webview 4.0 because i am very excited to use webview 4.0 and thanks so much to improve continues pywebview
