Edge WebView

Available from Version 1.7.0 - 2.12.0

WebView1

The Windows Edge WebView utilises the Modern WebView WPF version.

This is now marked as deprecated by Microsoft and support is officially dropped. This is no longer packaged in the ANE and Settings.engine is removed as there is only the default.

WebView2

Microsoft are in the process of replacing WebView with the Chromium based WebView2 (currently in preview).

WebView2 will not, repeat not, use the user's Edge Chromium browser.

It will come in 2 flavours:

• Evergreen - Will use new WebView2 Runtime & Installer (due Q4 2020). It will be your responsibility to ensure your installer checks for and installs this separate runtime.
• Fixed - This will require packaging the CEF binaries with your app, in the same way CefSharp does.

More details are available on the Microsoft website.
