New in Nativefier 50.0.0 (Sep 19, 2022)

  • [BREAKING] Block some external URLs from opening outside of Nativefier (fix #1459)
  • This is a security fix, all users are encouraged to upgrade.
  • This will, for security, block loading 2 kinds of external (out of Nativefier) URLs:
  • One: using dubious URL schemes, two: including nasty characters.
  • Blocking URLs will be accompanied by a window explaining what's going on,
  • and linking to a discussion thread where you can report false positives.
  • Hopefully not BREAKING much (the behavior should now be aligned with
  • what browsers do), but web weirdness happens. Shout and we'll tweak.

  • Fix double-navigation to pages (fix #1452)
  • Upgrade cli+app dependencies
  • Bump default Electron to 19.0.17 (from .14), with security fixes

New in Nativefier 49.0.0 (Aug 3, 2022)

  • [BREAKING] 49.0.0 doesn't have more breaking changes than 48.0.0, but I'm
  • releasing a new major release anyway to signal one particularly noteworthy
  • breaking change in Electron 19 that I failed to pass along to you in 48.0.0:
  • The ia32 arch (a.k.a. i386 or x86/32bit) is no longer supported.

  • using Nativefier
