NW.js v0.77.0 Released with Chromium 114 and ARM64 Support

2023/06/05

I'm pleased to announce NW v0.77.0 with Chromium 114 stable upgrade. The ARM64 architecture is supported on macOS starting from this release.

In NW v0.77, Chromium 114 contains usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports CSS headline balancing, CHIPS, the scrollend event, popover 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 114 milestone hotlist.

I've made the 0.77 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 114. 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
