Release Notes

Fixes

  • Fixed app.disableHardwareAcceleration() not fully disabling GPU hardware usage on Windows starting from Electron 38. #52371 (Also in 41, 43, 44)

  • Fixed an issue where frameless windows could shrink after applying constraints or toggling resizability on Windows. #52366 (Also in 43)

  • Fixed crash during maglev compilation. #52311

  • Fixed remote debugging via --remote-debugging-port not working when inspecting from Chrome's chrome://inspect page. The DevTools page would appear empty due to the frontend URL pointing to a CDN that returned 404 for Electron's Chromium builds. #51415 (Also in 41)
