Version 0.33.4 is released to sync with Node.js v10.11.0.

Previously NW 0.33 was released with Chromium 69. It contains usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports AV1 video decoder, new CSS tricks, OffscreenCanvas, Keyboard Map API and many more. Please check upstream information for details. For a complete list of all features (including experimental features) in this release, see the Chrome 69 milestone hotlist.

We've made the 0.33 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 69. Thanks to the testers for their valuable feedback and bug reports. We've been working on 2 branches simultaneously: a released branch on current Chromium stable and a beta branch on Chromium beta.

Yes. 2 DEPS files will be maintained and the previous workflow will continue to work, except that the version tags will be applied in the NW repo only.

The new DEPS file in content/nw directory and a script 'content/nw/tools/sync.py' is for a new workflow. Under that a single commit in the NW repo will identify a single build. Previously a single build was identified by 4 commits from different repos. The new workflow is now used by buildbot and will be documented.

Regards,

Roger

btw, this makes the changes in the chromium repo more visible and easier to understand. Hopefully this will encourage contributions as well.
