The methods are still there, but only for the headers to a separate plugin library to the webkit engine which you must preload before you initialize any webkit components. What remains nebulous according to all the docs is how to get information back and forth between the main application and the plugin (seems you have to communicate over DBus or a similar mechanism for systems that don't support DBus). This is drive by them moving webkit out of the application's thread and into a subprocess of its own that communicates back and forth with the application's GUI thread. This is similar to how Chrome/Chromium/Blink operate and it's one way to prevent bad things happening in the web component from happening in the main application.</div><div><br></div><div>But it's gonna require some amount of ugly hackery to get that editor working, now.</div><div><br></div><div>--Greg<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 15, 2020 at 10:12 PM Greg Hellings <<a href="mailto:greg.hellings@gmail.com">greg.hellings@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Welcome back, Mr Kleinpaste.</div><div><br></div><div>We missed you. 😎<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 15, 2020 at 9:01 PM Karl Kleinpaste <<a href="mailto:karl@kleinpaste.org" target="_blank">karl@kleinpaste.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<font face="FreeSerif">At least, I think I'm back.<br>
<br>
I've been out of commission for doing Xiphos things for way too
long. I'm back now, I think. I've just gone through ~150 emails
from the github issue tracker. Merged a bunch of pending stuff,
need to look at a few more still pending, made intermediate
comments on many more. Working on a couple simple updates. Hope to
get to a release point for 4.1.1 sometime Real Soon Now. Apologies
for long absence. Life hasn't been my friend.<br>
