Breaking Changes

Entfernt: macOS 11 Unterstützung

macOS 11 (Big Sur) is no longer supported by Chromium.

Ältere Versionen von Electron werden weiterhin auf Big Sur laufen, aber macOS 12 (Monterey) oder höher werden benötigt, um Electron v38.0.0 und höher laufen zu lassen.

Removed: ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT environment variable

The default value of the --ozone-plaftform flag changed to auto.

You should use the XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland environment variable instead to use Wayland.

Removed: plugin-crashed event

The plugin-crashed event has been removed from webContents.

Deprecated: webFrame.routingId property

The routingId property will be removed from webFrame objects.

You should use webFrame.frameToken instead.

Deprecated: webFrame.findFrameByRoutingId(routingId)

The webFrame.findFrameByRoutingId(routingId) function will be removed.

You should use webFrame.findFrameByToken(frameToken) instead.

Google Summer of Code Concludes

Our two Google Summer of Code contributors have just completed their summer projects!

  • @nilayarya crafted a new Save/Restore Window State API in Electron core. The new APIs will provide a built-in, standardized way to handle window state persistence. See Nilay's original RFC at electron/rfcs#16.
  • @hitarth-gg put a lot of hard work into modernizing the long-dormant Devtron extension using Chrome Manifest V3 APIs. This project provides tooling for developers to debug IPC communication, track event listeners, and visualize module dependencies in their Electron applications.

Stay tuned for a more detailed blog post outlining their projects and the outcomes.
