_Released 02/03/2024_
⚡ Features
- Android support. _pywebview_ can now be used on Android devices with help of [buildozer](https://buildozer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) in producing APK. #377
- DOM manipulation, traversal and events. _pywebview_ provides a set of functions for mutating DOM nodes and traversing DOM, as well as you can subscribe to DOM events directly in Python. 1218
- Application settings `webview.settings`. You can now override default behaviour of _pywebview_ by modifying this dictionary. Currently configurable settings include.
python
webview.settings = {
'ALLOW_DOWNLOADS': False, Allow file downloads
'ALLOW_FILE_URLS': True, Allow access to file:// urls
'OPEN_EXTERNAL_LINKS_IN_BROWSER': True, Open target=_blank links in an external browser
'OPEN_DEVTOOLS_IN_DEBUG': True, Automatically open devtools when `start(debug=True)`.
}
- Support for file downloads. To enable file downloads, set `webview.settings['ALLOW_DOWNLOADS'] = True`. Disabled by default.
- Full path support for file drag n drop. To get a full path of the dragged file, _pywebview_ introduces `event['domTransfer']['files'][0]['pywebviewFullPath']` value in the `drop` event caught on the Python side. To subscribe to the event you use `window.dom.document.events.drop += on_drop`.
- `window.maximize()` - maximize window.
