wxWebView migrate to WebView2 on Windows?

Post by fishnet37222 »

Since WebView2 is now generally available for C++ (https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/web-brow ... -available), are there any plans on migrating the wxWebView control to use it on Windows? It seems like a good idea since it provides a much more modern rendering engine than the legacy Trident engine that the existing wxWebView uses on Windows.
