Very nice! Good job!
Within the Releasenotes plans you mentioned that you are already testing WebView support (ExeOutput for PHP 2024.0: New Features & Enhancements - ExeOutput for PHP). Is this something which is planned in near future or will that be part of a next major release?

Any chance to become beta tester?

Thanks,
Matthias

Yes, we are internally implementing WebView2 for ExeOutput for PHP. In order to make lighter EXE files.
We already have experience with WebView2 since we implemented it into our companion software HTML Executable. The main difficulty is to rewrite the internal server that serves data from PHP into WebView2.
And thank you for being volunteer to test it. When the public Beta is available, we’ll notify you.
