Release Notes for v44.3.0

Features

• Added the ELECTRON_DEBUG_DRAGGABLE_REGIONS environment variable, which visualizes and logs draggable regions in unpackaged apps to help debug custom title bars. #53627 ^{(Also in 43, 45)}

Fixes

• File System Access permission requests and the file-system-access-restricted event are scoped to the requesting document, grants are reset when the origin's last page closes, and write access works in in-memory sessions. #53691 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}
• Fixed Ctrl+Y not yanking text killed with Ctrl+K in text fields on macOS. #53714 ^{(Also in 45)}
• Fixed Tray icons not appearing when running inside Flatpak or Snap sandboxes on Linux. #53653 ^{(Also in 45)}
• Fixed app.getGPUInfo('complete') stalling the GPU process for several seconds on some Windows systems. #53644 ^{(Also in 45)}
• Fixed session.setPermissionCheckHandler receiving the top-level origin and a null webContents for hid and usb checks made from a subframe. #53688 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}
• Fixed webContents.on(), removeListener() and removeAllListeners() throwing "Object has been destroyed" for console-message listeners after the WebContents was destroyed. #53494 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}
• Fixed a crash on Linux when process.env was written while another thread was reading the environment, and a memory leak when a worker thread exits. #53509 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}
• Fixed a possible crash on Windows when a file dialog was shown for a window that was being closed at the same time. #53583 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}
• Fixed a renderer crash when the main process sent IPC to, or a page navigated, a same-process window.open() child whose contextIsolation differed from its opener's. #53539 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}
• Fixed a spurious node_init error being logged when creating a ShadowRealm with Node.js integration enabled. #53579 ^{(Also in 45)}
• Fixed crashes in setDisplayMediaRequestHandler when the granted frame had been destroyed or another tab was granted by id. #53672 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}
• Fixed several non-functional DevTools integrations: the Security panel's "View certificate" button, Ctrl+wheel zooming inside DevTools, and DevTools keyboard shortcuts (e.g. F8) while the inspected page has focus. #53630 ^{(Also in 43, 45)}
• Fixed window state not being persisted when a window entered or left fullscreen, or was maximized or unmaximized, without also being moved or resized. #53576 ^{(Also in 45)}
• Internal <webview>, window.close() and executeJavaScript reply IPCs are validated against the sending frame. #53723 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}
• <webview> without allowpopups also blocks links opened into a new window by modifier-click, and such windows navigate as the clicking document rather than as a browser-initiated load. #53721 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}
• getUserMedia with chromeMediaSource: 'desktop' no longer accepts WebContents source ids; use chromeMediaSource: 'tab' with webContents.getMediaSourceId() or setDisplayMediaRequestHandler to capture a WebContents. #53709 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}
• nodeIntegrationInWorker now applies only to workers created by frames that themselves have Node integration; enable nodeIntegrationInSubFrames to keep Node in workers created by subframes. #53711 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}
• openExternal permission requests started by a frame that has since gone away are attributed to that frame's origin rather than to the navigating page. #53699 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}
• pointerLock and keyboardLock permission requests now report the requesting frame, and execCommand('paste') requires user activation in the frame that calls it. #53693 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}

Other Changes

• Fixed the app becoming unresponsive when a page has a very large number of app-region draggable elements. #53597 ^{(Also in 43, 45)}
• Updated Chromium to 152.0.7977.78. #53523
