We are excited to announce NW.js 0.13.0-rc1. Chromium is updated to latest stable version 49, which is just announced in upstream (49.0.2623.75); Node.js is updated to 5.7.0.

The update to Chromium 49 features CSS custom properties, background sync with service workers, improved ECMAScript 2015 support and more, see http://blog.chromium.org/2016/02/chrome-49-beta-css-custom-properties.html

A new method 'registerStream()' is added to 'nw.Screen.DesktopCaptureMonitor', so video conference applications are able to launch video chat in getUserMedia() without blocking on user's input. See the docs for more information: http://docs.nwjs.io/en/latest/References/Screen/#screendesktopcapturemonitorregisterstreamid

RC1 focuss on the rebase to Chromium 49 and Node 5.7.0. We'll continue to fix reported issues. The final version of 0.13.0 is expected to be released within Chromium 49 lifetime (before Chromium 50 release). For the plan of the upcoming 0.13 final release, see https://groups.google.com/d/msg/nwjs-general/g1OkxHl4XYs/x83fxvnbAQAJ

I'm seeing this in the terminal window, it did not happen in the beta versions:


[0303/093734:ERROR:crashpad_client_win.cc(316)] CreateProcess: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)
[0303/093734:ERROR:crash_report_database_win.cc(549)] CreateDirectory C:\Users\myid\AppData\Local\User Data\Crashpad: The system cannot find the path specified. (0x3)
 
This is a Windows 7 machine.

The app continues and all seems well.

Just to confirm that all reported issues that I'm aware of, having to do with nwjs crashing when normally browsinga  websites, still exist in rc1. Those are:


Each one of those I was able to reproduce within a minutes of use with 64bit win SDK rc1 on Win 8.1. And of course, all those bugs I was able to reproduce earlier on any version nwjs on any platform I have tried. If needed I can provide crash dumps for all 3 issues above.

Thanks,
Zoran

It was just fixed. Please wait and try again with next nightly build.

Thanks for your patience.
