The following fixes were made in PCjs v1.15.1
|
|
|
|
1. Using the "User-defined URL" option when loading a disk image from a 3rd-party server was broken if the URL
|
|
contained certain special characters; that should be fixed now, but be aware that only web servers (ie, URLs
|
|
using the HTTP protocol) are supported. URLs that trigger a redirect may also not work (more testing required).
|
|
2. Any errors that occur during the call to either *embedPC()* or *embedC1P()* should be properly displayed on the
|
|
caller's page now.
|
|
3. Two embedding helper functions have been added to provide more control over the machine startup
|
|
and shutdown process:
|
|
+ *enableEvents(boolean)*: pass *false* to disable delivery of all page events to all machines on the page,
|
|
or *true* to re-enable;
|
|
+ *sendEvent(string)*: pass *"init"*, *"show"* or *"exit"* to simulate the corresponding browser event
|
|
(*onload*, *onpageshow* or *onbeforeunload*, respectively).
|
|
|
|
If a page calls *enableEvents(false)* before calling *embedPC()*, all machine layouts will be instantiated
|
|
but the machines themselves will not be initialized. When the page is ready, call *enableEvents(true)* to restore
|
|
normal event processing, and if the browser has already sent the *onload* event, then call *sendEvent("init")*
|
|
to manually initialize the machine(s).
|
|
|
|
These two new functions are designed to assist in testing the starting up, shutting down and restarting of machines,
|
|
by allowing scripts to control the overall process, without requiring use of the browser's back/forward/close controls.
