NW.js v0.119.2 Released with Node.js v26.12.1

2026/10/22

NW.js 0.119.2 is released with a Node.js v26.12.1 update.

In NW v0.119, Chromium 156 contains the usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports the CSS random() function for generative randomness in stylesheets, the CSS :navigation-source pseudo-class that selects the element which initiated a navigation, custom request headers and server response headers in WebTransport, WebGPU fragment depth modifiers in WGSL for keeping early-Z optimizations, and the pair keyword for scroll-snap-type to snap both axes to the same element. Note that the Fenced Frame element and window.fence APIs are stubbed out in this milestone. Please check upstream release notes for details. For a complete list of all features (including experimental features) in this release, see the Chrome 156 milestone hotlist.

We've made the 0.119 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 156. Thanks to the testers for their valuable feedback and bug reports. We've been working on 2 branches simultaneously: a released branch on the current Chromium stable and a beta branch on Chromium beta.

2026/10/10

We are pleased to announce NW 0.118.0 with Chromium 155.

In NW v0.118, Chromium 155 contains the usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore.

2026/09/25

We are pleased to announce NW 0.117.0 with Chromium 154.

This release fixes a FATAL crash ("Unknown API bluetoothPrivate") seen on real-world sites such as Amazon and Cloudflare, where the privileged self-extension exposed a ChromeOS-only API with no compiled schema (#8387).

In NW v0.117, Chromium 154 contains the usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports scroll-marker-group links and tabs modes for accessible carousels, text-decoration-inset and text-decoration-skip-spaces for finer control over text decorations, the FontFace width attribute and font-width descriptor, Iterator.prototype.includes(), an options bag for the WebSocket constructor, and post-quantum cryptography in WebCrypto (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and X-Wing). Please check upstream release notes for details. For a complete list of all features (including experimental features) in this release, see the Chrome 154 milestone hotlist.

We've made the 0.117 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 154. Thanks to the testers for their valuable feedback and bug reports. We've been working on 2 branches simultaneously: a released branch on the current Chromium stable and a beta branch on Chromium beta.

In NW v0.113, Chromium 150 contains the usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore.

NW.js v0.112.0 Released with Chromium 149

2026/05/24

We are pleased to announce NW 0.112.0 with Chromium 149.

In this release, the pointer lock behavior has been improved: ESC no longer automatically ends pointer lock. Instead, the ESC key event reaches the renderer during pointer lock so JavaScript can call event.preventDefault() in the keydown handler to keep the lock. The lock is only broken when the page does not consume the event. The 1.25s cooldown on re-lock has also been removed (#7907).

In NW v0.112, Chromium 149 contains usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports CSS gap decorations for grid and flexbox layouts, Programmatic scroll promises returning Promise objects for smooth-scroll completion, CSS path-length property for SVG animation and styling 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 149 milestone hotlist.

We've made the 0.112 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 149. Thanks to the testers for their valuable feedback and bug reports. We've been working on 2 branches simultaneously: a released branch on the current Chromium stable and a beta branch on Chromium beta.

In NW v0.111, Chromium 148 contains usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore.

Please check upstream release notes for details. For a complete list of all features (including experimental features) in this release, see the Chrome 148 milestone hotlist.
