NW.js v0.48.3 Released with Node.js v14.12.0 and Chromium Update
2020/09/26
NW v0.48.3 is released to update Node.js v14.12.0 and Chromium security patches. This should be the last version of 0.48 as 0.49 will be released soon.
Previously I released 0.48.0 with Chromium 85 upgrade, which contains usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports Fetch Upload Streaming, WebHID API, @property and more. Please check Chromium blog for details. For a complete list of all features (including experimental features) in this release, see the Chrome 85 milestone hotlist.
I've made the 0.48 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 85. Thanks to the testers for their valuable feedback and bug reports. I'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
