Features

• The WebView widget now supports specifying static content on instantiation. (#2851)
• The content of a WebView can now be assigned using the content property, without providing a root URL for the content. (#2854)
• Application of style properties has been streamlined to reduce redundant font creation and widget-refreshing. (#3273)
• The Canvas example app's UI controls have been reorganized and more clearly labeled. (#3321)
• The Web backend now supports the DateInput, ScrollContainer and TimeInput widgets. (#3334)

Bugfixes

• The asyncio event loop used on Winforms now shuts down correctly, ensuring there are no dangling resources on application exit. (#3266)
• Changing a widget's text_direction now triggers a layout refresh, since it can affect child positioning. (#3268)
• Table rows are now highlighted on Winforms when the widget doesn't have focus. (#3269)
• Support for GTK3 installs that use a GIO release older than 2.72 has been restored. Ubuntu 22.04, and other Debian 12-derived systems are affected by this issue. (#3296)
• Some errors observed on the Web backend during app startup have been resolved. (#3301)
• An incompatibility with Textual 3.0 that caused log messages to be generated on the console on app exit has been resolved. (#3342)
• Window visibility and focus events in the web backend no longer raise errors when the browser window loses focus (#3345)
• A crash caused by the name argument added to asynchronous tasks in Python 3.13.3 has been corrected. (#3394)
• The type annotation for directional style properties (margin, and the deprecated padding alias) has been corrected. (#3396)

Backward Incompatible Changes

• Supplying multiple arguments to BaseStyle.apply() (and therefore Pack.apply()) has been deprecated. If you want to apply multiple arguments at once, apply them within the with style_object.batch_apply() context manager. (#3273)
• The anticlockwise parameter to the Canvas drawing context's arc and ellipse methods (and the Arc and Ellipse drawing objects) has been deprecated; use counterclockwise instead. (#3300)
