Improved browser emulation

Instance window size generation

A new feature was added In browser emulation settings called «Screen Maximize‎» that sets a window size according to the profile's screen resolution. It means that the most common script is emulated, when the browser window is maximized to full screen.

Before enabling this feature with the old projects, make sure to debug them to avoid potential rendering issues.

Equivalent to this C# code:

instance.SetWindowSize(project.Profile.AvailScreenWidth, project.Profile.AvailScreenHeight);

Added Speech Voices emulation

Web Speech API allows you to interact with voice interfaces and speech synthesis. Speech Voices has a number of voice presets, which are used to generate speech from text. This new feature can be used by sites to request the information about synthesized voices available on device.

Added Permission emulation

Permission API contains data on browser permissions. For example, this feature can be used to determine, whether access permission to certain API was approved or not. The default settings match Chrome browser settings.

You can manage the permissions with the C# method instance.NavigatorPermissions.

// Default Chrome values are used here
instance.NavigatorPermissions = @"{
    ""geolocation"":2,
    ""notifications"":2,
    ""midi"":0,
    ""camera"":2,
    ""microphone"":2,
    ""background-sync"":0,
    ""persistent-storage"":2,
    ""accelerometer"":0,
    ""gyroscope"":0,
    ""magnetometer"":0,
    ""clipboard-read"":2,
    ""clipboard-write"":0,
    ""payment-handler"":0
}";
// Where the key is the permission name according to the Permissions API, and the value is
// 0 - 'granted'
// 1 - 'denied'
// 2 - 'prompt';

Improved JS-alert interaction

The speed of automatically closing JavaScript notifications became more natural.

Added automatic Device Pixel Ratio detection

Added a feature to automatically detect and add Device Pixel Ratio provided the Screen Maximize option is turned on in profile settings. Device Pixel Ratio can be set with C# method instance.DevicePixelRatio as well.

instance.DevicePixelRatio = 1.5; // Установит Device Pixel Ratio равное 1.5

ZennoPoster autostart

If ZennoPoster suddenly crashes or an emergency shutdown happens for any reason, it will be restarted, and will resume the previously running projects.

Adding your own Captcha services

There is a new option to add any Captcha service based on common APIs. To activate this feature you should go to Editing → Settings → Captchas and click the button “Add your service”. After that the new service config will be available in the “Recognition module” dropdown menu under the “Recognize Captcha” action.

At the moment only basic Catchas are supported.

HTTP Connection Pool connection control

Added an option to limit the number of connections in the ZennoPoster and ProjectMaker settings. It is meant to improve the stability for a large number of HTTP-requests.

Full changelog 7.3.0.0

Added:

+ If ZennoPoster suddenly crashes, soft will be restarted and will resume the running projects.
+ Added the Speech Voice option in profile setting. Web Speech API allows users to interact with voice interfaces to recognize and synthesize a speech. Speech Voices has a number of voice presets, which are used to generate speech from text.
+ Added a feature to automatically detect and add Device Pixel Ratio provided the Screen Maximize checkbox was selected in profile settings. Device Pixel Ratio can be set with C# method instance.DevicePixelRatio as well.
+ Added Permissions emulation as it is in Chrome browser. You can check it there: http://yandex.ru/internet
+ Added an option to get the number of currently active threads. Example C# snippet:

int threadsZP = ZennoPoster.GetThreadsCount();
int currentTaskThreadsById = ZennoPoster.GetThreadsCount(Id);
int currentTaskThreadsByName = ZennoPoster.GetThreadsCount(Name);

+ A new feature called «Screen Maximize‎» was added in browser emulation settings. It sets a window size according to the generated Screen size. Rendering issues are possible during usage. This option must improve anonymity. Equal to C# snippet: instance.SetWindowSize(project.Profile.AvailScreenWidth, project.Profile.AvailScreenHeight);
+ There is a new option to add any Captcha service based on common APIs.
+ Increased ProjectMAker speed when using the Modern2 editor them - group shadows are off by default. You can enable them in “Appearance” → “Show group shadow”.
+ Changed the disabled action logic: disabled actions now behave identically to the IF (true) action. Meaning that when a running project reaches a disabled action it will be treated as successfully completed.
+ Brought default HTTP request user agents up to date. This only affects new HTTP-request actions and will not break existing projects.
+ Added an option to limit the number of connections in the ZennoPoster and ProjectMaker settings. It is meant to improve the stability for a large number of HTTP-requests.
+ Improved anonymity when working with JS alerts.
+ Improved the visibility of certain elements in the regex constructor in the dark theme.


Fixed:

• The Bad End - Good End logic was brought back: if one of the Ends has been reached the other will not be until the project is “Launched from the beginning”. Moreover, a new “Go to Bad/Good End in repeated debugging” was added to the Debug tab.
• Fixed the IF block compatibility for certain conditions.
• Fixed a bug that caused the “Image” action to not force-enable images after disabling them in the project settings in ProjectMaker.
• Fixed a bug that caused FullEmulationMouseWheel to not work in the Firefox engine, when the cursor was outside the visible area.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the project from saving after quickly editing C# code.
• Fixed a bug that caused ProjectMaker to crash when clicking “Test” in the action builder.
• Fixed bugs that sometimes caused project execution settings to reset in the Task Manager.
• Fixed a bug that caused long regular expressions to not be displayed correctly in the Regex action settings.
• Added the “Add” method for the dynamic IZennoList.
• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused ProjectMaker to crash when working with YouTube.
• Fixed a bug that caused Bat files, created with the context project menu to not work correctly.
• Fixed a bug that caused memory leaks due to the now gone Switch.
