NW.js v0.70.1 Released with Node.js v19.0.0 and Chromium Update

2022/11/03

NW v0.70.1 is here with Node.js v19 and Chromium security update.

In NW v0.70, Chromium 107 contains usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports CSS grid-template properties interpolation, Privacy preserving screen sharing controls, Render blocking status in Resource Timing and more. Please check upstream release notes for details. For a complete list of all features (including experimental features) in this release, see the Chrome 107 milestone hotlist.

I've made the 0.70 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 107. Thanks to the testers for their valuable feedback and bug reports. I've been working on 2 branches simultaneously: a released branch on the current Chromium stable and a beta branch on Chromium beta.

Best regards,
Roger Wang
