Here is NW v0.67.1 with Node.js v18.7.0. It fixes a bug in DevTools.

In NW v0.67, Chromium 104 contains usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports Region Capture, Media Queries Level 4 Syntax and Evaluation and more. Please check Chromium blog for details. For a complete list of all features (including experimental features) in this release, see the Chrome 104 milestone hotlist.

I've made the 0.67 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 104. Thanks to the testers for their valuable feedback and bug reports. I've been working on 2 branches simultaneously: a released branch on the current Chromium stable and a beta branch on Chromium beta.

Best regards,
Roger Wang

to nw.js

I am running this on windows 10.

I have nwjs saved in c:\nwjs and a project that is copied from your example1 in the documentation. That example project is stored in c:\njwstest. The file names match exactly what is in the example, and the contents are copied directly from the web page. Nothing is zipped.

I have tried both the developer version, and the release downloads of nwjs.

The command line I am using is:

c:\nwjs\nw.exe package.json

there is a popup dialog box that says:

"failed to load extension from: c:\nwjstest\package.json. Manifest file is missing or unreadable"

I got the same message from v0.67.0

I was expecting a "Hello World" web page to be displayed. What am I missing?

I figured it out. The documentation said to pass the folder to the nw.exe, I was passing the json file. Once I changed that, it worked.
