NW.js v0.104.0 Released with Chromium 141

2025/09/30

I'm pleased to announce NW 0.104.0 with Chromium 141 stable upgrade. Per upstream, Chromium 141 requires at least macOS 12.

In NW v0.104, Chromium 141 contains usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports ARIA Notify API, WebRTC Encoded Transform (Version 2), WebAssembly custom descriptors 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 141 milestone hotlist.

I've made the 0.104 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 141. 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
