NW.js v0.92.0 Released with Chromium 129 and Node.js v22.7.0

2024/09/24

I'm pleased to announce NW v0.92.0 with Chromium 129 stable upgrade.

In NW v0.92, Chromium 129 contains usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports new CSS features, Blob support in WebRTC data channels, scheduler.yield() and much more. Please check upstream release notes for details. For a complete list of all features (including experimental features) in this release, see the Chrome 129 milestone hotlist.

I've made the 0.92 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 129. 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
