Cross-platform WebView rendering library in Rust.

0.56.x

0.56.0

Jul 30, 2026

  • affbb3c (#1720) Updated Android lifecycle JNI calls in WryActivity for Tao 0.36's renames:

    > - create to onFirstActivityCreate > - onActivityCreate to onCreate > - start to onStart > - resume to onResume > - pause to onPause > - stop to onStop > - Removed onActivitySaveInstanceState > - onActivityDestroy to onDestroy > - onActivityLowMemory to onLowMemory > > onLowMemory no longer takes any parameters. > onFirstActivityCreate no longer takes any parameters.

    and also emitting them as window-specific events.

  • 145b36f (#1736) Remove Send, Sync bounds from NewWindowOpener.

  • 871497a (#1748) Add back/forward navigation APIs (go_back, go_forward, can_go_back, and can_go_forward) to WebView.

  • fe52ff9 (#1715) On Android, release REQUEST_HANDLER mutex sooner by cloning the underlying Send + Sync handler.

  • 9d0a9fe (#1712) On Windows, Add WebViewExtWindows::hwnd getter to access the child HWND containing the webview.

  • 4ee8c38 (#1779) Enable WebView element fullscreen support on macOS 12.3+ and iOS 15.4+ without using private APIs.

  • 5bdda32 (#1719) On macOS, avoid an extra copy for owned custom protocol response bodies by transferring the body buffer into NSData.

  • 6ef93b3 (#1737) On macOS, updated objc2-* dependencies to 0.3.2

  • 9f9a237 (#1654) Add an expanded permission handling API for WebView2, WKWebView, WebKitGTK, and Android. This includes:

    • PermissionKind expansion: DisplayCapture, Midi, Sensors, MediaKeySystemAccess, LocalFonts, WindowManagement, PointerLock, AutomaticDownloads, FileSystemAccess, Autoplay.
    • Support for PermissionResponse::Prompt to trigger native system dialogs.
    • Android support via JNI bridge (onPermissionRequest in RustWebChromeClient).
    • macOS: Split camera/microphone requests; CameraAndMicrophone resolved from individual responses.
    • Linux: DisplayCapture detection for WebKitGTK < 2.42 (getDisplayMedia fix).
    • Windows: Full coverage of all 12 COREWEBVIEW2_PERMISSION_KIND values.

  • bd1decc (#1780) Breaking Change: Removed the macOS/iOS specific transparent and fullscreen feature flags. The functionalities are now always enabled. Please reach out immediatly if you see issues in the App Store submission process.

  • d29cd57 (#1787) Removed protocol feature, previously gated WebViewBuilder::with_custom_protocol, WebViewBuilder::with_asynchronous_custom_protocol and WebViewBuilder::with_asset_loader are now always available

  • 86ac6e8 (#1732) Updated dom_query dependency to 0.28.0

  • 10fdf73 (#1738) On Windows, add WebViewBuilderExtWindows::with_profile_name to opt the webview into a named WebView2 profile. Webviews with different profile names within the same environment have isolated cookies, storage, IndexedDB, and cache while sharing the runtime — matching WebView2's documented multi-profile pattern.

0.54.2

Feb 14, 2026
  • 1d1b870 (#1662 by @JSKitty) On macOS, implement background_color support for WKWebView behind the transparent feature. Disables the default white background via the drawsBackground KVC key at init and applies underPageBackgroundColor on macOS 12+ for both initial creation and runtime set_background_color calls.
  • e3761e5 (#1668 by @zeta-gundam) Fixed an issue that caused "Symbol not found: _NSHTTPCookieSameSite…" panics on macOS 10.13 & 10.14.
  • e3761e5 (#1668 by @zeta-gundam) Fixed an issue that caused "[&lt;WKWebViewConfiguration 0x6000003f4d00> setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key drawsBackground." panics on macOS 10.13

0.54.0

Jan 15, 2026

  • 5fdd1a9 (#1625) Use OnBackPressedCallback instead of the deprecated onKeyDown for back navigation on Android.

  • 51d06d0 (#1646) Remove redundant clones in WebView and download handling. No user facing changes.

  • 7b77322 (#1647) Fix clippy io_other_error. No user facing changes.

  • 27ba73f Add handler for web content process termination.

  • 4fcff14 (#1547) Set WebsiteDataManagerBuilder::base_cache_directory with the same path as base_data_directory.

    This change allows the cache directory to be changed instead of using the default one from WebKitGTK.

  • 64d9296 (#1640) Update webkit2gtk-rs crates to 2.0.2.

0.53.x

0.53.5

Oct 22, 2025
  • #1622 Fixed an issue that caused docs.rs builds to fail. No user facing changes.

0.53.4

Oct 6, 2025
  • 093856a (#1622 by @lucasfernog) Add flag to opt out of automatic back navigation handling on Android via WryActivity#handleBackNavigation.
  • 0f51d67 (#1605 by @dgerhardt) On Linux, removed a workaround which forced inital requests for multiple webviews to be handled sequentially. The workaround was intended to fix a concurrency bug with loading multiple URIs at the same time on WebKitGTK. But it prevented parallelization and could cause a deadlock in certain situations. It is no longer needed with newer WebKitGTK versions.

  • 88cbb01 (#1561 by @dgerhardt) On Linux, fix a deadlock, which could occur when destroying a WebView before loading has finished.

  • 5399823 (#1600 by @lucasfernog) Fixes new_window_req_handler not creating the webview on Linux when executing window.open().
  • eb562ca (#1596 by @lucasfernog) Fixes new_window_req_handler not fired on macOS when executing window.open().
  • 3f978d3 (#1601 by @lucasfernog) Refactor WebViewBuilder::with_new_window_req_handler to allow creating the webview manually.
  • 3f978d3 (#1601 by @lucasfernog) Disable new window creation by default on Windows to match behavior of other platforms. Use WebViewBuilder::with_new_window_req_handler to enable.
