NW.js v0.89.0 Released with Chromium 126
Roger Wang
I'm pleased to announce NW v0.89.0 with Chromium 126 stable upgrade.
In this release, a bug was fixed to support Node.js options in node-main. You can now put multiple Node.js command line arguments before the script filename in the manifest field.
In NW v0.89, Chromium 126 contains usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports Cross-document view transitions for same-origin navigations, Gamepad API trigger-rumble extension and much more. Please check upstream release notes for details. For a complete list of all features (including experimental features) in this release, see the Chrome 126 milestone hotlist.
I've made the 0.89 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 126. 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

Maybe we can pause updates for a while and try to squash bugs at some point. I hope I'll be able to help out soon. Roger is doing so much of the work himself.
In fact, thanks to this, I plan on pausing everything else this weekend and setting up the build process for nwjs. I'll have to look at the notes again to choose which platform/OS version to build on.

graven, that might be an explanation, but it's apparent that not all bugs require a long time to be resolved. 😥
