We are releasing 0.0.7, which includes a few fixes/features:

Exports (Release builds)

We embedded a tool that fixes build exports, as by default the Godot export template does not correctly install the webview. Unfortunately, we do not see a way to do this automatically. Thankfully, the tool is easy to use, and is a part of the inspector for quick access:

In short, you point it to the root path of your exported build, and press 'Fix'.

This feature is available for both Windows and Linux. Read more about it in the Exports section of the help pages.

Mouse move + modifiers

We now correctly forward key modifiers during mouse move events:

document.addEventListener('mousemove', e => { 
  console.log(e.shiftKey);
});

Faulty resolution calculations

When using the webview with a TextureRect as child node, some of the calculations related to the mouse position were done incorrectly, depending on the type/size of window, as well as resolution changes. This is now fixed.

Community spotlight #1

It is always nice to see what users make with this addon. JakeCreates (Twitter/Twitch) did a "Shock Q&A" Twitch stream where this addon was used to relay the webcam feed, as well as provide reactive images.

Community spotlight #2

Another interesting thing we'd like to showcase is this addon's ability to render complex web-applications, such as DustinBrett/daedalOS - (live example).

It is an operating system that can play Flash videos, Quake 3, videos, etc, all from the browser.

Here it is inside Godot 4.4:
