We are pleased to announce NW.js 0.13.0-beta3. After the beta announcement, thanks to the bug reports from many users, we have been fixing the issues and release a new version now. We'll keep watching issue reports and release new versions regularly. Hopefully we can reach RC state after a month. beta3 is a bug fix release with no new features or upstream updates. In the next beta version Chromium will be updated to 48 and Node.js will be updated too.

If you're new to this major new beta version 0.13, please read http://nwjs.io/blog/v0.13.0-beta1/

Download

SDK build:

NaCl build and other platforms: http://dl.nwjs.io/v0.13.0-beta3/

There are 3 builds for each platform - normal build, sdk build and Nacl 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.

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/

I'm on 64-bit Linux Mint 17 KDE and all three of the v.0.13.0 betas just hang waiting for KDE Wallet (which I have disabled), so I'm not able to launch anything. No window is spawned, and there's no KWallet popup for me to dismiss. I have reported the issue under the Chromium repository, and hope that's the right place.

A lot of Construct 2 users are reporting ghost processes left behind after closing, including in beta3: https://www.scirra.com/forum/nwjs-not-completely-closing-when-exiting-app_t166669

I've not actually been able to reproduce this at all, but is it a known issue?

We've fixed issues like this and add them to tests. There is no known issue like this now. And it should be easy to reproduce.

I think it may make a difference when they clear the user data directory and try again. That could be the difference between systems.
