• Fixed a potential crash when using menu.popup with a frame from an offscreen rendered window. #53362 (Also in 43)

electron v44.1.0

Release Notes for v44.1.0

Fixes

• Fixed fs.constants.O_DIRECTORY, O_NOFOLLOW and O_DIRECT holding x86 values on Linux arm64 and armv7l, which made opening a directory fail with EINVAL, and made require('trace_events') behave the same on cross-compiled builds as on native ones. #53320 (Also in 42, 43, 45)

• Fixed a crash on Windows when V8 posted a delayed worker task during shutdown. #53201 (Also in 42, 43)
• Fixed a crash on macOS when a WebAuthn Touch ID prompt was requested while no locale resources were loaded. #53194 (Also in 43)
• Fixed a crash on macOS when a notification's icon could not be attached; the notification is now shown without the icon. #53146 (Also in 42, 43)
• Fixed a crash when calling node:wasi functions in optimized code. #53268 (Also in 42, 43, 45)
• Fixed a crash when calling utilityProcess.postMessage() after the utility process had exited. #53300 (Also in 43, 45)

• Fixed an issue where pages loaded in a detached WebContentsView wouldn't see the correct window size. #53153 (Also in 42, 43)
• Fixed crashes in sharedTexture, service-worker ipcRenderer and utilityProcess.fork() caused by object lifetime bugs. #53279 (Also in 43, 45)
• Fixed crashes in the main process when a webRequest.onBeforeRequest listener redirected a CORS preflight request, and when calling net.fetch() with a webRequest-permission extension loaded. #53303 (Also in 43, 45)
• Fixed crashes when a webContents or parent window is destroyed while other APIs still reference it. #53287 (Also in 43, 45)
• Fixed crashes when certain app event handlers call back into Electron synchronously. #53275 (Also in 43, 45)
• Fixed region-qualified --lang values such as de-DE loading no locale resources on macOS, which left localized strings empty and could crash WebAuthn Touch ID prompts. #53188 (Also in 42, 43)
• Fixed the GPU process being terminated in AppX/MSIX packaged apps on Windows when WebGPU fell back to SwiftShader. #53198 (Also in 42, 43)

What needs to be done~

[efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc]

https://www.electronjs.org/blog/electron-44-0#behavior-changed-netrequest-rejects-frame-destinations-without-navigate-mode, doesnt seem to be affected

FreeTube/src/main/index.js

Lines 699 to 703 in ab2d602

	const newRequest = net.request({
	method: request.method,
	url,
	headers
	})

So i think the only thing we need to check if everything with the clipboard is fine

My custom build with this included: https://github.com/PikachuEXE/FreeTube/actions/runs/34299076736

[PikachuEXE]

Linux build failed due to 404
Electron side issue I guess, no issue building on macOS though

@dependabot recreate

[absidue]

We will definitely need changes, here is an incomplete list:

• Remove 32-bit/armv7l support from:
  • our scripts
  • the build and release workflows
  • the FreeTube website
• Switch to the new clipboard APIs in the main process
• Update electron-context-menu to 5.0.0

Superseded by #9783.
