electron v44.3.0

Release Notes for v44.3.0

Features

• Added the ELECTRON_DEBUG_DRAGGABLE_REGIONS environment variable, which visualizes and logs draggable regions in unpackaged apps to help debug custom title bars. #53627 (Also in 43, 45)

Fixes

• File System Access permission requests and the file-system-access-restricted event are scoped to the requesting document, grants are reset when the origin's last page closes, and write access works in in-memory sessions. #53691 (Also in 42, 43, 45)
• Fixed Ctrl+Y not yanking text killed with Ctrl+K in text fields on macOS. #53714 (Also in 45)
• Fixed Tray icons not appearing when running inside Flatpak or Snap sandboxes on Linux. #53653 (Also in 45)
• Fixed app.getGPUInfo('complete') stalling the GPU process for several seconds on some Windows systems. #53644 (Also in 45)
• Fixed session.setPermissionCheckHandler receiving the top-level origin and a null webContents for hid and usb checks made from a subframe. #53688 (Also in 42, 43, 45)
• Fixed webContents.on(), removeListener() and removeAllListeners() throwing "Object has been destroyed" for console-message listeners after the WebContents was destroyed. #53494 (Also in 42, 43, 45)
• Fixed a crash on Linux when process.env was written while another thread was reading the environment, and a memory leak when a worker thread exits. #53509 (Also in 42, 43, 45)
• Fixed a possible crash on Windows when a file dialog was shown for a window that was being closed at the same time. #53583 (Also in 42, 43, 45)
• Fixed a renderer crash when the main process sent IPC to, or a page navigated, a same-process window.open() child whose contextIsolation differed from its opener's. #53539 (Also in 42, 43, 45)
• Fixed a spurious node_init error being logged when creating a ShadowRealm with Node.js integration enabled. #53579 (Also in 45)
• Fixed crashes in setDisplayMediaRequestHandler when the granted frame had been destroyed or another tab was granted by id. #53672 (Also in 42, 43, 45)
• Fixed several non-functional DevTools integrations: the Security panel's "View certificate" button, Ctrl+wheel zooming inside DevTools, and DevTools keyboard shortcuts (e.g. F8) while the inspected page has focus. #53630 (Also in 43, 45)
• Fixed window state not being persisted when a window entered or left fullscreen, or was maximized or unmaximized, without also being moved or resized. #53576 (Also in 45)
• Internal <webview>, window.close() and executeJavaScript reply IPCs are validated against the sending frame. #53723 (Also in 42, 43, 45)
• <webview> without allowpopups also blocks links opened into a new window by modifier-click, and such windows navigate as the clicking document rather than as a browser-initiated load. #53721 (Also in 42, 43, 45)
• getUserMedia with chromeMediaSource: 'desktop' no longer accepts WebContents source ids; use chromeMediaSource: 'tab' with webContents.getMediaSourceId() or setDisplayMediaRequestHandler to capture a WebContents. #53709 (Also in 42, 43, 45)
• nodeIntegrationInWorker now applies only to workers created by frames that themselves have Node integration; enable nodeIntegrationInSubFrames to keep Node in workers created by subframes. #53711 (Also in 42, 43, 45)
• openExternal permission requests started by a frame that has since gone away are attributed to that frame's origin rather than to the navigating page. #53699 (Also in 42, 43, 45)
• pointerLock and keyboardLock permission requests now report the requesting frame, and execCommand('paste') requires user activation in the frame that calls it. #53693 (Also in 42, 43, 45)

Other Changes

• Fixed the app becoming unresponsive when a page has a very large number of app-region draggable elements. #53597 (Also in 43, 45)
• Updated Chromium to 152.0.7977.78. #53523

electron v44.2.0

Release Notes for v44.2.0

Fixes

• Fixed a pending read on a net.request chunked upload stream inside a protocol handler never settling when the request failed or was aborted. #53373 (Also in 43, 45)
• Fixed a potential crash when using menu.popup with a frame from an offscreen rendered window. #53362 (Also in 43)
• Fixed an intermittent crash (access violation) on Windows when an ASAR integrity violation is detected, so the process now exits with code 1 as intended. #53455 (Also in 43, 45)
• Fixed application crash after a large number of IPC messages from renderers. #53417 (Also in 42, 43, 45)
• Fixed native addons deriving from node::ObjectWrap aborting during garbage collection on Node.js 24.19.0 and later. #53392 (Also in 42, 43, 45)

Other Changes

• Backported fixes from upstream ANGLE, Chromium, Skia and V8. #53479
• Improved throughput of responses that protocol.handle handlers return straight from net.fetch. #53378
• Updated Chromium to 152.0.7977.76. #53382
• Updated Node.js to v24.20.0. #53250

electron v44.1.1

[absidue]

We will definitely need changes, here is an incomplete list:

• Remove 32-bit/armv7l support from:
  • our scripts

  • the FreeTube website
• Switch to the new clipboard APIs in the main process
• Update electron-context-menu to 5.0.0

Ill create a followup PR to remove the mentions in https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTubeApp.io/blob/master/src/index.php. It will be opened as a draft and come out of draft when close to release
