Periodic DWScript release 22.6.28 has been created on the DWScript GitHub.
This release includes a variety of micro-optimizations (many memory-related) for the compiler, runtime and JavaScript codegen, as well as fixes and improvements.
The language syntax has been slightly extended for the Pascal-to-Javascript transpiler to cover the case of read-only external properties. (more…)
With Chrome 102 HTMLElement.inert attribute is now active, it is also in the Firefox/Edge/Safari nightlies, so will hopefully become available for those soon.
This inert attribute aims to make interactive HTML inert as a rock.
Yes, it only took 32 years to disable interactivity like in HTML 1.0, hurrah!
To quote MDN:
The HTMLElement property inert is a boolean value that, when present, makes the browser “ignore” user input events for the element, including focus events and events from assistive technologies.
So it is like good old Enabled from the VCL. And this is a great addition to HTML! (more…)
cefHtmlSnapshot 0.8.101 release is now available on the cefHtmlSnapshot repository.
This version uses CEF 101.0.15 which includes Chromium 101.0.4951.54, and is recommended for production, as it fixes multiple zero-day issues being actively exploited.
Output formats of text type have been added, you can now output a plain text, HTML or console content snapshot.

cefHtmlSnapshot 0.7.100 release is now available on the cefHtmlSnapshot repository.
This version uses CEF 100.0.23 which includes Chromium 100.0.4896.127, and is recommended for production, as it fixes multiple zero-day issues being actively exploited.
The bundled turbojpeg is updated to 2.1.3, though only to keep up as none of the security and fixes issues applied here.
Finally this version disables the Back/Forward cache, which may not have any effect, but was unnecessary.
The DWScript JavaScript code generator is now transitioning to ECMA6, as the the LTS versions of browsers are now completing the transition. So you will now see the code generator using “let” and other ECMA6 constructs where they make sense, in terms of performance or compacity.
