Certificate Transparency Fix
Electron 1.4. 2 содержит важный патч, который исправляет проблему с поддержкой Chrome в которой некоторые Symantec, GeoTrust, и сертификаты Thawte SSL/TLS некорректно отклонены 10 недель от времени сборки libchromiumcontent, лежащая в основе Electron библиотека Chrome. There are no issues with the certificates used on the affected sites and replacing these certificates will not help.
In Electron 1.4.0 — 1.4.11 HTTPS requests to sites using these affected certificates will fail with network errors after a certain date. This affects HTTPS requests made using Chrome's underlying networking APIs such as window.fetch, Ajax requests, Electron's net API, BrowserWindow.loadURL, webContents.loadURL, the src attribute on a <webview> tag, and others.
Upgrading your applications to 1.4.12 will prevent these request failures from occurring.
Note: This issue was introduced in Chrome 53 so Electron versions earlier than 1.4.0 are not affected.
