[Unreleased]​

Added​

  • Added OpenInspectorOnStartup to debug options to allow opening the WebInspector during startup of the application in debug mode. Added by @stffabi in PR
  • On macOS wails doctor now also shows the version of Xcode installed. Added by @stffabi in PR
  • The AssetServer now supports handling range-requests if the Assets fs.FS provides an io.ReadSeeker. Added by @stffabi in PR
  • Add new property for the wails.json config file - bindings. More information on the new property can be found in the updated schema. Properties prefix and suffix allow you to control the generated TypeScript entity name in the model.ts file. Added by @OlegGulevskyy in PR
  • The WindowSetAlwaysOnTop method is now exposed in the JS runtime. Fixed by @gotid in PR
  • The AssetServer now supports serving the index.html file when requesting a directory. Added by @stffabi in PR
  • Added support for WebKit2GTK 2.36+ on Linux. This brings additional features for the AssetServer, like support for HTTP methods and Headers. The app must be compiled with the Go build tag webkit2_36 to activate support for this features. This also bumps the minimum requirement of WebKit2GTK to 2.36 for your app. Fixed by @stffabi in this PR

Fixed​

  • The noreload flag in wails dev wasn't applied. Fixed by @stffabi in this PR
  • build/bin folder was duplicating itself on each reload in wails dev mode. Fixed by @OlegGulevskyy in this PR

v2.2.0 - 2022-11-09​

Added​

  • Wails now uses a purpose built, native Go implementation of Microsoft's webview2loader dll. This means there is no need to embed the Webview2Loader.dll file in your binaries, meaning filesizes will be ~130k smaller! Thanks to @stffabi for this awesome contribution!
  • This release provides much more control over custom asset handling via the new AssetServer options. This allows you to provide your own custom asset handler and hook into the request chain through middleware. Thanks to @stffabi for this awesome contribution and @mholt for the initial idea and extensive testing.
  • It is now possible to customise the layout of your Wails projects using 2 new options in wails.json:
    • build:dir can be used to specify where the build files reside
    • frontend:dir can be used to specify where the frontend files reside
    • If go.mod is not found in the same directory as wails.json, the cli will look up the parent directories to find it. Fixed by @leaanthony in this PR
  • Colour output in the CLI can now be turned off by using the --nocolor flag. This is useful for CI/CD pipelines. Thanks to @scottopell for the PR
  • A JSON schema definition for the wails.json file has been added. IDEs should now provide code complete when editing wails.json. Thanks to @binyamin for the PR
  • The EventsOn* methods now return a function that can be called to deregister the listener. Thanks to @joshbuddy for the PR

Fixed​

  • Webview2 on Windows returns a potential whitespace when defining the style like this style="--wails-draggable: drag". Fixed by @stffabi in https://github.com/wailsapp/wails/pull/1989
  • Bound structs that had struct{} field types would cause the TypeScript generation to fail. Thanks to @ParkourLiu for the PR
  • When maximising a frameless window on Windows with multiple monitors, the window could sometimes become blank. Thanks to @stffabi for the fix

Changed​

  • The troubleshooting guide was updated to provide guidance when Vite fails to start. Thanks to @willdot for the PR.
