Node.js upstream just released v14.4.0 for multiple security fixes. So here is NW.js v0.46.1 for it. It also ships bug fixes as well.

Shortly ago I released 0.46 with Chromium 83, which supports Cross-site Scripting Protection, Improved Form Controls, WebRTC Insertable Streams and Safe Cross-origin Resource Sharing and more. Please check Chromium blog for details. For a complete list of all features (including experimental features) in this release, see the Chrome 83 milestone hotlist.

I've made the 0.46 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 83. Thanks to the testers for their valuable feedback and bug reports. I've been working on 2 branches simultaneously: a released branch on current Chromium stable and a beta branch on Chromium beta.

Best regards,
Roger Wang
