racket-webview

Webview integration for Racket.

Release v0.1.11

This release assigns explicit, file-prefixed Scribble tags to manual parts and sections. This prevents duplicate collected-information warnings for headings such as Overview, Example, Conversion, Events, and racket-webview during raco setup.

The process-interface changes from v0.1.10 remain unchanged.

Process interface (introduced in v0.1.10)

This version replaces the FFI/shared-memory transport with a child-process interface to racket-webview-qt v0.2.3:

  • commands: JSON lines on child stdin
  • results and events: JSON lines on child stdout
  • backend diagnostics: child stderr

The public Racket procedures, command numbers, command payloads, result symbols, and event JSON remain unchanged. Set RKT_WEBVIEW_PRG to an explicit locally built backend executable during development.

Previous Qt update

QtWebEngine select popup rendering issues were observed with older Qt 6.x. The native HTML <select> popup could keep growing or repainting while open while the QtWebEngine process remained busy. Upgrading to Qt 6.11.1 resolved this.

Qt backend logging

Structured stderr records from rktwebview_prg are logged through simple-log under the separate topic webview-backend. Ordinary Racket-side messages keep the topic webview. Unstructured stderr lines are accepted and logged at debug level under webview-backend.
