This is a release for Chromium stable update, as well as bug fixes for transparency and building native modules under Linux.

Previously we announced NW.js 0.26 with Chromium 62 upgrade. It supports Network Quality Estimator API, OpenType variable fonts, and media capture from DOM elements. Please check upstream information here. The stable upgrade contains many security fixes as well.

We made the 0.26 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 62. Thanks to the testers for their valuable feedback and bug reports. We've been working on 3 branches simultaneously: a released branch on current Chromium stable, a beta branch on Chromium beta and a 0.14 branch for legacy OS support.

Fix: nw-gyp rebuild is not working on linux (#5971)

For some reason I cant download none of the binaries, I tried firefox, chrome and free download manager.

The last reported says "Remote sever closed connection".

I'm was at coffeeshop with fiber optic connection, so the I certain its not a connection problem.
