NW.js 0.18.1 is here with Node 6.8.1, single process mode support and bug fixes.

Under the single process mode, NW is running with only one process in the system. It can be turned on with switch --single-process.

As Node.js v7.0 will be released soon, we'll upgrade to it in 0.18.x later.

For more information on the new milestone 0.13 and later versions, please see our blog "What's New in 0.13" for a better introduction.

Bug with application size calculation in Windows: in package.json size is 276x490, but after applciation run it have size 347x615.

And in console I checked window size:

nwWin.width = 277
nwWin.height = 491

I have turned on screen scaling: 125%

277 * 1.25 = 346,25
491 * 1.25 = 613,75

17.6 calculate window size correctly, 18.0-beta-1 - calculates wrong.

Hi,

I am trying to run existing chrome packaged app in Mac.

my existing chrome packaged app uses PNacl components.

When i tried running chrome app using "nwjs-sdk-v0.18.1-osx-x64" nwjs SDK I am getting below error

"NativeClient: the Portable Native Client (pnacl) component is not installed".

But the my chrome packaged app is working good in Windows using (nwjs-sdk-v0.17.0-win-x64) nwjs SDK.

Could somebody help me in loading Pnacl module in Mac.

Regards,

Adarsh

Hi,
since version 0.18.0 I cannot package anymore my application with Enigma Virtual Box (on Windows x64).
Before running Enigma VB, the application starts correctly. But after packaging it with Enigma VB, when I start the file app_boxed.exe nothing happens, and I only obtain a debug.log error file containing the following messages:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1020/132452:FATAL:chrome_elf_main.cc(82)] Check failed: patched == 0.
Backtrace:
SuccessfullyBlocked [0x0000000180011821+38453]

[1020/132455:ERROR:file_io.cc(30)] read: expected 4, observed 0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everything worked fine up to version 0.17.6 (I've been using NW.js since v0.12)

What could be the issue? Related to NW.js and/or to Enigma Virtual Box?

Thanks

This is chrome old bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=395425

Solution:

command line argument:

nw.exe /force-device-scale-factor=1

Or in package.json:

"chromium-args": "/force-device-scale-factor=1"
