Electron Releases

Breaking Changes

• Reduced sandboxed renderer startup work for preload scripts that do not use Buffer. #54048

  • Removed the events, timers and url modules and the Buffer, setImmediate and clearImmediate globals from sandboxed preload scripts; use a polyfill.

  • Made sandboxed renderers without a preload script start faster.

  • Made sandboxed preload scripts start faster; Electron no longer evaluates a JavaScript bundle of its own in sandboxed renderers unless webviewTag is enabled.
