WebView2 runtime version

[brche]

If I release a version of our software with a specific version of WebView4Delphi; do I need to ensure that our customers are using a specific version of the WebView2 Runtime, or will it continue to work with newer versions of the runtime?

Normally, the WebView2 Runtime will be updated automatically by Windows Update after the user installs your application.

WebView4Delphi will keep working with the same features it had when you created the app but it will not use any new WebView2 feature until you release a new version of your application using a newer WebView4Delphi version.

However, if your app relies on some Chromium feature and that feature is deprecated, disabled or broken in future Chromium versions then your application might have issues when a WebView2 runtime update includes that version of Chromium.

This means that if your application uses the evergreen distribution of WebView2 runtime then you should test your application periodically to ensure that the latest automatic updates didn't break anything.

Thanks Salvador; that is what I thought (and hoped).
