I'm pleased to announce NW v0.76.0 with Chromium 113 stable upgrade.

In NW v0.76, Chromium 113 contains usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports New CSS media features, the linear() easing function, WebGPU and more. Please check upstream release notes for details. For a complete list of all features (including experimental features) in this release, see the Chrome 113 milestone hotlist.

I've made the 0.76 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 113. 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

Hello All,

I wanted to replace my 0.74.0 sdk install with 0.75.0 sdk, unfortunately it does not start on one of my Linux machines, the same for 0.76.0 sdk, not even the grey test screen.
I am running Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64bit on an Intel Core i5-...@3.20Ghz x 4, is there maybe a hardware or OS kernel limitation for 0.75.0 or 0.76.0?
The SHA checksums of both files match.

Have a nice day, Okido

FYI,

The problem is caused by libnss3, Chrome v112 requires a version higher than 2:3.31, after installing the appropriate version it works fine.

Have a nice day, Okido
