Nativefier v43.0.0

on GitHub

• [BREAKING] Bump to Electron 12.0.1 with Chrome 89.0.4389.82
  See https://www.electronjs.org/blog/electron-12-0
  and https://www.electronjs.org/docs/breaking-changes#planned-breaking-api-changes-120
  Noteworthy to Nativefier users:

  • As usual, new Chrome, with potential improvements/regressions to websites you use
  • [deprecated and to be fully removed in a future release of Nativefier] Removed Flash support. If you still need flash, pass a <12 version to the -e flag. Note this will not work forever, our --flash flag is going to die at some point in the future. See doc in API.md / flash and start looking at alternatives / emulators like Ruffle.
  • Removed support for older x86 CPUs that do not have SSE3

• [BREAKING] (ish) Automatically consider known login pages as internal (fix #706) (PR #1124)
  URLs for known login pages (e.g. accounts.google.com or login.live.com)
  are now automatically considered internal, to let you login in your
  Nativefier app without having to fiddle with --internal-urls.

  This does not replace internal-urls, it complements it, and happens
  before your internal-urls rule is applied. So, if you already set
  internal-urls to let such auth pages open internally, feel free to
  clean it up, but it's not necessary. Our list of login pages to consider
  internal lives at app/src/helpers/helpers.ts

  We think this is desirable behavior and are so far unaware of cases where
  users might not want this, so we haven't provided a flag to disable it.
  If you disagree, please chime in at
  PR #1124: App: Automatically consider known login pages as internal

• Various maintenance fixes: deps, scripts, slim down Docker size

Special thanks to @TheCleric for all the work during this release 🙂
