Now supports restarting the Chrome headless server after "n" completed requests. See the Chrome.setMaxChromeRequests() method.
Method ImageGenerator.setJavaScriptLibraryLocal() has been deprecated. You should now use method ImageGenerator.setJavaScriptLibraryAlternate().

Change in behaviour:
Previously the Chrome.stop() method performed a hard stop. Active requests were ignored.
This method now waits for active requests to complete before stopping the Chrome headless server.
The previous behaviour is still available by using the Chrome.stop(boolean forceStop) method.

Previously the Chrome.stop() method would close down a shared Chrome headless server even if the Chrome.connect() method had been called.
This would impact other users of the Chrome headless server.
The Chrome.stop() method will now not allow this. If you call the Chrome.connect() method you should use the Chrome.disconnect() method.
If this is your required behaviour (IE. close down a shared Chrome headless server) you should now use the new Chrome.disconnectWithStop() method.

Previously when starting Chrome, the library would include chromium binaries in the locations searched. The library no longer includes Chromium locations. We only test the library against Chrome. You can choose to specify a chromium binary with the setChromeBinaryPath() method.

Minor changes to the functionality that allows multiple charts in one image:
Method ImageGenerator.setChartOptions() has been renamed ImageGenerator.setAdditionalChartOptions().
New method ImageGenerator.setAdditionalChartDivAttributes(String... additionalChartDivAttributes) now handles any additional div attributes.
Method ImageGenerator.setChartDivAttributes(String chartDivAttributes) now expects only one div attributes parameter.

New class ChromeContext that implements methods to set cookies and permissions.
The ImageGenerator.setcookies method has been moved to ChromeContext class.

The HyJavaImages HTTP Server has been moved to a separate .jar.
