NW.js 0.111.1 is released with Chromium 148 update, Node.js v25.9.0, and many bug fixes. This release also adds arm64 Linux support and removes Linux 32-bit support as upstream has dropped it.

In NW v0.111, Chromium 148 contains usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports HTML-in-Canvas, Name-only container queries in CSS, Lazy load video and audio elements, Prompt API for on-device AI language model access 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 148 milestone hotlist.

We've made the 0.111 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 148. Thanks to the testers for their valuable feedback and bug reports. We've been working on 2 branches simultaneously: a released branch on the current Chromium stable and a beta branch on Chromium beta.

Best regards, NW.js maintainers
