SDK build:

NaCl build and other platforms: http://dl.nwjs.io/v0.13.0-beta5/

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/

In this build, on Windows 10 I'm starting to see Xbox app features popup in-app, such as to record the game. This did not previously appear. It's an interesting feature, but is there an option to disable it?

It still sends requests to next IPs:

173.194.32.143
173.194.32.159
173.194.32.151
173.194.32.152

Why in XP it have non-standard window styles?

It's the "Press Win + G to open Game bar" prompt here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15217362/nwjs-gamebar.png

It appears inside the NW.js window (can't be dragged outside), so I assumed it was part of NW.js. It appears every time. If you press Win + G, it switches to a box with recording options and a shortcut to the Xbox app. I've never used the Xbox app so I'd guess it is a default setting and I never noticed it before beta 5 so assumed it was related to this update, but maybe it's something to do with an update to the Xbox app on Windows 10?

We were moving forward with nwjs beta as we need the NaCL support but we've hit a critical bug: https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/issues/4390

Basically nwjs crashes on Mac every time you close it if you try to create any custom menus with the Menu and MenuItem APIs. Furthermore the createMacBuiltin method creates a quit item that is not functional.

Is this a known issue?

Someone reported similar issue. We'll fix it soon.

Thanks.

This doesn't seem to me to be a problem with the new build, because I now see the Game Bar overlay when I open any NW.js version 0.12 or 0.13.
