It’s difficult to give an exact date. It’s an important update so we must be sure it will work fine when it comes out. HTMLEXE has a lot of features so we must ensure they work as expected with the Chromium engine behind.
We restarted our implementation of the Chromium engine from scratch because the last one wasn’t bug-free regarding popups and video playing. Moreover, for HTMLEXE 5, we’ll have to drop support for XP and Vista (at least if you choose the Chromium rendering engine).
Thank you for the update, does “starting from scratch” means it will not be released anytime soon link before December?
Anyway please keep us posted. Dropping support for XP and Vista should not be an issue. I will like to suggest releasing Beta version soon before the final one is released
Hopefully not, but as for our other products which received a major release, it’s taking time. We can’t release an unfinished product. We’re thinking about publishing public Beta releases, as we did for ExeOutput 2.
and call it version 5, unless there are other demands for the Chromium Engine which outweighs what I have listed above.That way it will give you all a lot of time to develop chromium for version 6.
The reason why a lot of us are advocating for HTMLEXED 5 is a better-inbuilt browser that does not depend on internet explorer and flash. where html5 content can work well.
Is my belief that a lot of your suggestion will come with HTMLEXE 5.
Yes I agree. Chromium engine is indeed essential. Personally I’d like my applications to work independent of IE in case the clients are using older versions of IE. Furthermore, IE 11 on windows 7 doesn’t work all that well with modern HTML5 and some clients don’t even bother with updates.
