    We announce the release of first version of JExplorer
    (http://www.jniwrapper.com/jexplorer.jsp). This release addresses many
    important issues that we have received during the Beta period of the
    product.

    We would like to thank everyone who sent us the feedback for JExplorer
    Betas and patiently waited for the release.

    Also, along with JExplorer we issue the important release of
    JNIWrapper 2.7, in which we have fixed several major problems and
    added some features.

    Check the What's New page (http://www.jniwrapper.com/whatsnew.jsp) to
    see the detailed list of changes in both products.

    What's coming next
    ==================
    JNIWrapper for Mac OS X: The product is on the final testing phase and
    shortly we will introduce the Beta version for your evaluation.

    JNIWrapper 3.0: In JNIWrapper 3.0 we're planing to introduce many
    useful features, such as a Java code generation by *.H file, Java COM
    server registration and many others.

    What's New in JExplorer 1.0
    ---------------------------
    1. Changes since Beta 3:
       - Listening the browser navigation events, such as downloadBegin,
    downloadCompleted, progressChanged, etc., using a
    NavigationEventListener listener(s);
       - Listening the browser status events, such as statusTextChanged,
    titleChanged, etc., using a StatusEventListener listener(s);
       - Handling the browser events, such as beforeNavigate, newWindow,
    windowClosing, etc., using a WebBrowserEventsHandler handler;
       - Getting and setting HTML content with the WebBrowser.getContent
    and WebBrowser.setContent methods accordingly;
       - Executing a Java script, using the WebBrowser.executeScript
    method and handling script errors, using a ScriptErrorListener
    listener;
       - Creating the context-dependent Java menus in the Browser
    component, using the ContextMenuProvider;
       - Disabling browser error dialogs, using the WebBrowser.setSilent
    method;
       - The DomRobot was also greatly improved: added methods for
    simulating user actions, such as click and mouseOver; added ability to
    produce various DOM events; added various methods for decoration
    elements;
       - Greatly improved the implementation of the WebBrowser.waitReady
    method;
       - Improved speed of DOM wrappers.
    2. Fixes: a number of fixes in multiple classes were made improving
    stability of the Browser component and DOM wrappers.

    What's New in JNIWrapper 2.7 for Windows
    ----------------------------------------
    1. Fixes:
       - Fixed the problem with passing of some int parameters to the
    native function calls.
       - Fixed the several problems in the Variant class; now it correctly
    handles the Pointer parameters and correctly stores parameters of
    VarType.VT_BYREF type.
       - Fixed the problem in the OleMessageLoop class, when it reported
    sometimes the "Failed to post thread message" message.
       - Codegen: fixed code generation problem for the methods, which
    returns Variant result in wrappers for dispinterfaces.
       - WinPack: fixed the problem with initialization in the StartupInfo
    class.
    2. Changes since version 2.6:
       - Changed the invokeAndWait and invokeMethod methods of the
    OleMessageLoop class. Now these methods may throw InterruptedException
    or InvocationTargetException exception (when it occurs), like it does
    the SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait method.
       - Codegen: added the ability to generate property getters/setters
    for dispinterface properties.
       - WinPack: added the new shell folder customization feature for
    setting/getting a folder icon.
