Notable Changes​

Writing Tools Support​

In Electron 36, you can enable macOS system-level features like Writing Tools (spelling and grammar), Autofill, and Services menu items in your context menus. To do so, pass a WebFrameMain instance into the frame parameter for menu.popup().

import { BrowserWindow, Menu, WebFrameMain } from 'electron';

const currentWindow = BrowserWindow.getFocusedWindow();
const focusedFrame = currentWindow.webContents.focusedFrame;
const menu = Menu.buildFromTemplate([{ label: 'Copy', role: 'copy' }]);

menu.popup({
  window: currentWindow,
  frame: focusedFrame,
});

Stack Changes​

Deprecated: NativeImage.getBitmap()​

The NativeImage.getBitmap() function is now deprecated and documented as an alias for NativeImage.toBitmap(). The two functions both return a newly-allocated copy of the bitmap and are functionally equivalent.

Deprecated: Extension methods and events on session​

session.loadExtension, session.removeExtension, session.getExtension, session.getAllExtensions, and the events extension-loaded, extension-unloaded, and extension-ready have all moved to the new Extensions object accessible via the session.extensions instance property.

Removed: quota type syncable in session.clearStorageData(options)​

When calling session.clearStorageData(options), the options.quota type syncable is no longer supported because it has been removed from upstream Chromium.

Deprecated: quota property in session.clearStorageData(options)​

When calling Session.clearStorageData(options), the options.quota property is deprecated. Since the syncable type was removed, there is only type left -- 'temporary' -- so specifying it is unnecessary.

Behavior Changed: GTK 4 is the default when running on GNOME​

After an upstream change, GTK 4 is now the default when running on GNOME.

In rare cases, this may cause some applications or configurations to error with the following message:

Gtk-ERROR **: 11:30:38.382: GTK 2/3 symbols detected. Using GTK 2/3 and GTK 4 in the same process is not supported

Affected users can work around this by specifying the gtk-version command-line flag:

$ electron --gtk-version=3   # or --gtk-version=2

The same can be done with the app.commandLine.appendSwitch function.

Behavior Changed: app.commandLine​

app.commandLine will convert uppercases switches and arguments to lowercase.

app.commandLine was only meant to handle Chromium switches (which aren't case-sensitive) and switches passed via app.commandLine will not be passed down to any of the child processes.

If you were using app.commandLine to parse app-specific command line arguments, you should do this via process.argv.
