Breaking Changes

Breaking changes will be documented here, and deprecation warnings added to JS code where possible, at least one major version before the change is made.

Types of Breaking Changes

This document uses the following convention to categorize breaking changes:

• API Changed: An API was changed in such a way that code that has not been updated is guaranteed to throw an exception.
• Behavior Changed: The behavior of Electron has changed, but not in such a way that an exception will necessarily be thrown.
• Default Changed: Code depending on the old default may break, not necessarily throwing an exception. The old behavior can be restored by explicitly specifying the value.
• Deprecated: An API was marked as deprecated. The API will continue to function, but will emit a deprecation warning, and will be removed in a future release.
• Removed: An API or feature was removed, and is no longer supported by Electron.

Planned Breaking API Changes (39.0)

Deprecated: --host-rules command line switch

Chromium is deprecating the --host-rules switch.

You should use --host-resolver-rules instead.

Behavior Changed: window.open popups are always resizable

Per current WHATWG spec, the window.open API will now always create a resizable popup window.

To restore previous behavior:

webContents.setWindowOpenHandler((details) => {
  return {
    action: 'allow',
    overrideBrowserWindowOptions: {
      resizable: details.features.includes('resizable=yes')
    }
  }
})

Behavior Changed: shared texture OSR paint event data structure

When using shared texture offscreen rendering feature, the paint event now emits a more structured object. It moves the sharedTextureHandle, planes, modifier into a unified handle property. See here for more details.

Planned Breaking API Changes (38.0)

Removed: ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT environment variable

The default value of the --ozone-plaftform flag changed to auto.
