I'm excited to announce NW.js 0.37.0-beta1 in beta branch. It ships Chromium Beta 73 and Node.js v11.10.0.

Chromium 73 contains usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports async stack traces, constructable stylesheets, a new RegExp function, passive mouse events and more. Please check Chromium blog and v8 blog for details. For a complete list of all features (including experimental features) in this release, see the Chrome 73 milestone hotlist.

We've made the 0.37 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 73. Please try it and give your valuable feedback. We've been working on 2 branches simultaneously: a released branch on current Chromium stable and a beta branch on Chromium beta.

It's behind origin trial until recent in M73 branch in upstream. So you could use it in 0.37.0 final release, maybe in the next nightly build when we sync up with the latest M73 branch.

In future we could enable all origin trial features in NW app. Please file an issue for this.

Thanks,

Roger
