I'm pleased to announce NW 0.99.0 with Chromium 136 stable upgrade.

In NW v0.99, Chromium 136 contains usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports new CSS features, Captured Surface Control API, Fluent scrollbars 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 136 milestone hotlist.

I've made the 0.99 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 136. 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
