NW.js v0.39.3 Released with Node.js 12.6.0 and Chromium Security Update

2019/07/17

NW.js 0.39.3 is released with Node.js 12.6.0 and Chromium 75 security update. It also ships bug fixes.

Previously NW 0.39 was released with Chromium 75, which contains usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, and there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports low latency canvas contexts, sharing files, numeric separators and more. Please check Chromium blog for details. For a complete list of all features (including experimental features) in this release, see the Chrome 75 milestone hotlist.

We've made the 0.39 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 75. Thanks to the testers for their valuable feedback and bug reports. We've been working on 2 branches simultaneously: a released branch on current Chromium stable and a beta branch on Chromium beta.

Best regards, Roger Wang
