| ## Notable Changes | ||
|
|
||
| ### Highlights | ||
|
|
||
| - ASAR Integrity fuse now supported on Windows ([#40504](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/40504)) | ||
| - Existing apps with ASAR Integrity enabled may not work on Windows if not configured correctly. Apps using Electron packaging tools should upgrade to `@electron/[email protected]` or `@electron/[email protected]`. | ||
| - Take a look at our [ASAR Integrity tutorial](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/asar-integrity) for more information. | ||
| - Added [`WebContentsView`](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/web-contents-view) and [`BaseWindow`](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/base-window) main process modules, deprecating & replacing `BrowserView` ([#35658](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/35658)) | ||
| - `BrowserView` is now a shim over `WebContentsView` and the old implementation has been removed. | ||
| - See [our Web Embeds documentation](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/web-embeds) for a comparison of the new `WebContentsView` API to other similar APIs. | ||
| - Implemented support for the [File System API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System_API) ([#41827](https://github.com/electron/electron/commit/cf1087badd437906f280373decb923733a8523e6)) | ||
|
|
||
| ### Stack Changes | ||
|
|
||
| - Chromium `124.0.6367.49` | ||
| - New in [Chrome 124](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-chrome-124/) and in [DevTools 124](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-devtools-124/) | ||
| - New in [Chrome 123](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-chrome-123/) and in [DevTools 123](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-devtools-123/) | ||
| - Node `20.11.1` | ||
| - [Node 20.11.1 notes](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v20.11.1/) | ||
| - V8 `12.4` | ||
|
|
||
| Electron 30 upgrades Chromium from `122.0.6261.39` to `124.0.6367.49`, Node from `20.9.0` to `20.11.1`, and V8 from `12.2` to `12.4`. | ||
|
|
||
| ### New Features | ||
|
|
||
| - Added a `transparent` webpreference to webviews. ([#40301](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/40301)) | ||
| - Added a new instance property `navigationHistory` on webContents API with `navigationHistory.getEntryAtIndex` method, enabling applications to retrieve the URL and title of any navigation entry within the browsing history. ([#41662](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/41662)) | ||
| - Added new `BrowserWindow.isOccluded()` method to allow apps to check occlusion status. ([#38982](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/38982)) | ||
| - Added proxy configuring support for requests made with the `net` module from the utility process. ([#41417](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/41417)) | ||
| - Added support for Bluetooth ports being requested by service class ID in `navigator.serial`. ([#41734](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/41734)) | ||
| - Added support for the Node.js [`NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`](https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#node_extra_ca_certsfile) CLI flag. ([#41822](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/41822)) | ||

||
| ### Breaking Changes | ||
|
|
||
| #### Behavior Changed: cross-origin iframes now use Permission Policy to access features | ||
|
|
||
| Cross-origin iframes must now specify features available to a given `iframe` via the `allow` | ||
| attribute in order to access them. | ||
|
|
||
| See [documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/iframe#allow) for | ||
| more information. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Removed: The `--disable-color-correct-rendering` command line switch | ||
|
|
||
| This switch was never formally documented but its removal is being noted here regardless. Chromium itself now has better support for color spaces so this flag should not be needed. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Behavior Changed: `BrowserView.setAutoResize` behavior on macOS | ||
|
|
||
| In Electron 30, BrowserView is now a wrapper around the new [WebContentsView](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/web-contents-view) API. | ||
|
|
||
| Previously, the `setAutoResize` function of the `BrowserView` API was backed by [autoresizing](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsview/1483281-autoresizingmask?language=objc) on macOS, and by a custom algorithm on Windows and Linux. | ||
| For simple use cases such as making a BrowserView fill the entire window, the behavior of these two approaches was identical. | ||
| However, in more advanced cases, BrowserViews would be autoresized differently on macOS than they would be on other platforms, as the custom resizing algorithm for Windows and Linux did not perfectly match the behavior of macOS's autoresizing API. | ||
| The autoresizing behavior is now standardized across all platforms. | ||
|
|
||
| If your app uses `BrowserView.setAutoResize` to do anything more complex than making a BrowserView fill the entire window, it's likely you already had custom logic in place to handle this difference in behavior on macOS. | ||
| If so, that logic will no longer be needed in Electron 30 as autoresizing behavior is consistent. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Removed: `params.inputFormType` property on `context-menu` on `WebContents` | ||
|
|
||
| The `inputFormType` property of the params object in the `context-menu` | ||
| event from `WebContents` has been removed. Use the new `formControlType` | ||
| property instead. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Removed: `process.getIOCounters()` | ||
|
|
||
| Chromium has removed access to this information. | ||
|
|
||
| ## End of Support for 27.x.y | ||
|
|
||
| Electron 27.x.y has reached end-of-support as per the project's [support policy](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/electron-timelines#version-support-policy). Developers and applications are encouraged to upgrade to a newer version of Electron. | ||

||
| ## What's Next | ||
|
|
||
| In the short term, you can expect the team to continue to focus on keeping up with the development of the major components that make up Electron, including Chromium, Node, and V8. | ||
