NW.js 0.15.3 is here with yesterday's Chromium stable 51 update, Node.js v6.2.2 and bug fixes since last version.

In Chrome 51 upstream introduced support for passive event listeners and Intersection Observer, two emerging web standards that help developers create engaging, efficient experiences. See blog New APIs to help developers improve scroll performance in Chromium 51 for these 2 features. See also more exciting new features and improvements in Chromium 51:http://blog.chromium.org/2016/04/chrome-51-beta-credential-management.html ;

Following our release plan in 2016, we have released new major versions as soon as new Chromium stable release within 1 day. We've been working on 3 branches simultaneously: a released branch on current Chromium stable, a beta branch on Chromium beta and a LTS branch which will be supported for the next 2 years.

For more information on the new milestone 0.13 and later versions, please see our blog "What's New in 0.13" for a better introduction.

Download

SDK build:

Binaries for other platforms: http://dl.nwjs.io/v0.15.3/

There are 2 builds for each platform - normal build, and SDK build. Normal build doesn't have devtools, only SDK build does. lt can be opened by pressing F12 (Cmd-Alt-I on OSX). SDK packages also have more development tools to be exposed in the following releases, as well as the NaCl support. The NaCl build flavor in 0.14 and 0.13 was dropped due to very low usage and feedback

Our build infrastructure enables live binary build from git tip so you can access to the latest binary from http://dl.nwjs.io/live-build/
