  • Chromium 58
  • Chromium 59
  • Chromium 60
  • Chromium 61

Resolved Issues

• Resolved mouse pointer style for frameless window on MAC
• Resolved issue with window.close in a multi-runtime environment where the success callback was not being invoked when the app was in another runtime
• Resolved issue where fin.desktop.Frame.getCurrent() returned main frame for an iframe
• Resolved issue with widget ownership in autofillPopupView

8.56.30.55

New Features

Services API
The Services API [Alpha version] enables new Desktop Services that extend OpenFin OS functionality across the entire desktop. The initial set of Desktop Services provided by OpenFin include:

• Layouts - OpenFin Layouts delivers window management and layout user experience across the desktop for OpenFin-based applications. Features include snap & dock and visual location feedback. Repo: layouts-service
• Notifications - OpenFin Notifications provide developers a uniform way to create, display and organize desktop notifications. Features include notification eventing, dismissal, and persistence. Repo: notifications-service

Enhancements

• Added experimental flag --safe-errors that will replace any blocking errors thrown by the browser process with non-blocking errors
• Application console [log/info/warn] messages are now written to application specific logs, instead of the shared OpenFin debug log
• Added improvements to how preload scripts are handled

Resolved Issues

• Resolved issue where AtomViewHostMsg_Message_Sync error was appearing in the console
• Resolved issue where 2 OpenFin apps could initiate simultaneously
• Resolved issue where closing a window before initializing would raise an uncaught error
• Resolved issue with corrupted Netlog file

8.56.29.59

Resolved Issues

• Resolved a rendering issue which could be found on Windows 7 machines that required a service pack update
• Resolved a global keyboard shortcut conflict

Known Issues

• Failed configuring with PAC script, falling-back to manual proxy servers
  • Log Error: VERBOSE1:proxy_service.cc(1244)] Failed configuring with PAC script, falling-back to manual proxy servers.
  • This is a known Chromium bug fixed in Chromium 57. The application load should not be affected by this error however the client may notice a ‘Rouge’ opefin.exe process starting/stopping every X seconds. This bug could also leak memory, the standard workaround is to add --winhttp-proxy-resolver as a runtime argument. We expect this issue to not persist with OpenFin v9+.

8.56.29.54

New Features

Separate Application Logs
Added ability for applications to write their own logs, separate from runtime logs. When enabled, console messages including console.log, console.info, console.warn, and console.error are written to <rvmInstallDir>/<appHash>/app.log. To enable, set enableAppLogging=true in the startup_app property of your application config. RVM 4.0+ required.

Enhancements

• customData window option is now updatable
• Added Chromium reasons to the event payload for an unexpected close event
• Added closing as reason in hidden event when calling window.close
• Added Group Policy setting to set max socket connections per proxy server --max-connections-per-proxy=128
• Added support for 64 bit flash plugin.
• API Injection request is now done on a per window/frame
• Reduced payload when calling window.getGroup
• Added aeroGlassEnabled:true and screenSaver:false to System.getHostSpecs
• Additional Mac improvements

Resolved Issues

• Resolved a Deep Linking issue where parameters were not being passed on first launch
• Resolved a grouped windows issue where resizing one window would erroneously move other windows in the group
• Resolved issue associated with downloadAsset() callback behavior
• Resolved issues associated to the crash reporter not starting under certain conditions

Known Issues

• Failed configuring with PAC script, falling-back to manual proxy servers
  • Log Error: VERBOSE1:proxy_service.cc(1244)] Failed configuring with PAC script, falling-back to manual proxy servers.

8.56.26.50

New Features

Multi-Runtime Runtime instances now interoperate by default, providing API control and Inter Application Bus access across a mesh that is aware of all OpenFin Runtime instances on a desktop. This mesh provides location transparency and migration transparency by means of a self healing distributed hash table of identities.

Multi-Runtime enables applications running in different versions (v8.56.26.* & v8.56.27.*) or different security realms to communicate across the two independent runtimes. A major benefit to the mesh is that it allows for multiple teams to upgrade their runtimes at their own pace while continuing to cross communicate with corresponding applications running on older versions.

Enhancements

• Introduced window.Print() feature which supports the OS level print feature. Chrome’s Print Preview feature is slated for a future version.
• Preload script cache is now configurable and respects http cache headers on application start.

• Resolved issue with resize region for Framed windows
• Resolved an issue where window icons were not displaying
• Resolved an issue with MaxHeight, minHeight, maxWidth, maxWidth not working on Win 7
• Resolved issue where additional client info from external adapters not properly passed to RVM
