v1.5

v1.4

There may be additional changes as we did not keep good track of the changes in this release.

• WebView video would pause on ES5 when the App Bar scrolls off screen (#305)

v1.3.1

This version is identical to v1.3 except for minor build differences. Issue #280 is not reproducible in new local builds, so we are resubmitting the same code to see if this corrects the issue in production.

Added

• Pinch to exit full screen web content like videos (#75)

Fixed

• Infrequently after removing autocomplete, the keyboard would be unusable until it was dismissed and reopened (#484)
• A crash that occurs after clearing browsing data (#540)
