Electron 版本发布新步伐

· 阅读时间：约 9 分钟

从2021年9月开始，Electron将每8周发布一个新的主要稳定版本。

2019年，Electron 改为12周的发布周期，以匹配 Chromium 的6周发布周期。 最近，Chrome 和 Microsoft 都发生了一些变化，使得我们重新考虑更改 Electron 目前的发布频率：

  1. Chromium 计划从2021年9月21日的 Chrome 94 开始每4周发布一个新的里程碑。此版本节奏还每8周添加新的"扩展稳定"选项，其中包含所有更新的安全修补程序。

  2. 微软应用商店要求 基于Chromium应用的版本号不得低于最新发行版本2个版本号。 例如，如果最新发布的Chromium主版本号为85，任何基于Chromium的应用其所用版本必须为83或更高。 以上规则包含Electron应用。

从2021年9月开始，Electron将每8周发布一个新的主要稳定版本，以匹配Chromium的8周扩展稳定版本。

我们的第一个发行版Electron 15将会随Chromium扩展稳定版在2021年9月21日释出。

需要注意的是，版本发行频率的改变会影响下游应用程序的开发，我们想让我们的开发者社区尽快知晓此次改变。 请阅读我们的2021开发计划以获取更多详情。

Electron 15：临时 Alpha 内测版本​

基于我们的Electron15初始版本针对的是Chromium的非扩展稳定版(其扩展稳定版基于偶数版本号)，我们需要改变我们的初始目标发行日期。 然而，一款Electron的app必须使用最近两个版本以内的Chromium以便能被微软商店收录，这项新规定会使得等待两个新版本变得不可持续。

伴随着这两项要求，我们的团队也面临着时间规划上的挑战。 推进Electron 15以包括Chromium的M94版本会使得应用开发者们能快速获取最新的Chromium扩展稳定版；然而这也会使得公测版到稳定版的开发周期缩短到只有3周。

为了有利于此次变动，Electron将会提供一个临时的内测版本，并仅限于Electron 15系列的发行版。 本内测版将给与开发者们更多时间，用这款比每日版更稳定的版本去测试和规划他们的Eletron15。

Electron 15系列内测版本频道将会于2021年7月21日开通。 It will transition to a beta release on September 1st, 2021 with a stable release target of September 21st, 2021. 在那之后的Electron发行版将不再包含内测系列。

2021 发行计划​

以下是我们当前的2021发行计划:

ElectronChromeAlpha 版本Beta 版本Stable 版Stable 发布周期(周数)
E13M91-2021年3月5日2021年5月25日12
E14M93-2021年5月26日2021年8月31日14
E15M942021年7月20日2021年9月01日2021年9月21日9周(包含 alpha 版本)
E16M96-2021年9月22日2021年11月16日8
E17M98-2021年11月17日2022年2月1日11

添加 alpha 通道将 Electron 15 发布前的开发时间从 3 周延长到 9 周 - 更接近我们新的 8 周周期，同时仍满足 Windows 应用商店提交的要求。

为了进一步帮助应用程序开发人员， 从2021年的剩余时间到2022年5月，我们还将把我们支持的版本政策从最新的3个版本扩展到最新的4个版本的Electron。 这意味着即使您无法立即更改升级计划，旧版本的Electron仍将收到安全更新和修复程序。

解决疑虑​

在安排此发布周期更改之前，我们发布这篇文章是有原因的。 我们知道，更快的发布周期将对Electron应用程序产生真正的影响 - 其中一些应用程序可能已经认为我们的主要发布节奏过于频繁。

我们试图解决以下常见问题：

❓ 为什么要做这样的改变？ 为什么不保持12周的发布节奏呢？​

为了在Electron中提供最新版本的Chromium，我们的发布计划需要跟踪他们的版本。 有关Chromium发布周期的更多信息可以在这里找到 。

此外，目前12周的发布节奏将无法满足Microsoft应用商店的新提交要求。 即使是最新稳定版本的Electron上的应用程序也会经历大约两周的时间，他们的应用程序根据新的安全要求可能会被拒绝。

每个新的 Chromium 版本都包含新的功能，错误修复/安全修复和V8 改进。 作为应用程序开发人员，我们希望你们及时做出这些更改，所以我们的稳定版本日期将继续与其他Chromium稳定版本保持一致。 作为应用程序开发人员，您将比以前更快地获得Chromium和V8的新功能和修复程序。

❓ 现有的12周发布计划已经进展很快。 团队正在采取哪些步骤来简化升级？​

更频繁发版的一个好处是发版内容_更少_ 。 我们知道升级Electron的主版本可能是困难的。 我们希望较小的版本将减少每个版本中 Chromium和Node 重大更改，以及更少的破坏性改动。

❓ 未来的 Electron 版本会提供 alpha 版本吗？​

目前没有支持永久性的 Alpha 版本的计划。 此 Alpha 仅适用于 Electron 15，作为帮助开发人员在较短的发布周期内更轻松升级的一种方式。

❓ Electron 会扩展支持的版本数量吗？​

随着 Electron 19 的发布，我们将支持的版本政策从 Electron 的最新三个版本扩展到最新的四个版本直到 2022 年 5 月。 在 Electron 19 发布后，我们将返回 支持最新的三个主版本，以及 beta 和 nightly 版本。

要想知道有关移除计划的全部细节，请阅读并关注 这里。

Final Step for Requiring Native Node Modules to be Context Aware or N-API (in Electron 12)​

From Electron 6 onwards, we've been laying the groundwork to require native Node modules loaded in the renderer process to be either N-API or Context Aware. Enforcing this change allows for stronger security, faster performance, and reduced maintenance workload. The final step of this plan is to remove the ability to disable render process reuse in Electron 12.

Change the default of contextIsolation from false to true (Starting in Electron 10)​

Without contextIsolation, any code running in a renderer process can quite easily reach into Electron internals or an app's preload script. That code can then perform privileged actions that Electron wants to keep restricted.

Changing this default improves the default security of Electron apps, so that apps will need to deliberately opt in to the insecure behaviour. Electron will depreciate the current default of contextIsolation in Electron 10.0, and change to the new default (true) in Electron 12.0.

For more information on contextIsolation, how to enable it easily and it's security benefits please see our dedicated Context Isolation Document.

Electron 团队很高兴发布了 Electron 6.0.0.0！ 您可以通过 npm 安装electron@later 或者从我们的 发布网站 下载它。 这次发布包含升级、修复和新功能。 We can't wait to see what you build with them! Continue reading for details about this release, and please share any feedback you have!

What's New​

Today marks a first for the Electron project: this is the first time we've made a stable Electron release on the same day as the corresponding Chrome stable release! 🎉

Much of Electron's functionality is provided by the core components of Chromium, Node.js, and V8. Electron keeps up-to-date with these projects to provide our users with new JavaScript features, performance improvements, and security fixes. Each of these packages has a major version bump in Electron 6:

This release also includes improvements to Electron's APIs. The release notes have a more complete list, but here are the highlights:

Promisification​

Electron 6.0 continues the modernization initiative started in 5.0 to improve Promise support.

These functions now return Promises and still support older callback-based invocation:

  • contentTracing.getCategories() #16583
  • contentTracing.getCategories() #16583
  • contentTracking.getTraceBufferUs() #16600
  • contents.executeJavaScript() #17312
  • cookies.flushStore() #16464
  • cookies.get() #16464
  • cookies.remove() #16464
  • cookies.set() #16464
  • dialog.showCertificateTrustDialog() #17181
  • inAppPurchase.getProducts() #17355
  • inAppPurchase.purchaseProduct()#17355
  • netLog.stopLogging() #16862
  • session.clearAuthCache() #17259
  • session.clearCache() #17185
  • session.clearHostResolverCache() #17229
  • session.clearStorageData() #17249
  • session.getBlobData() #17303
  • session.getCacheSize() #17185
  • session.resolveProxy() #17222
  • session.setProxy() #17222
  • webContents.hasServiceWorker() #16535
  • webContents.printToPDF() #16795
  • webContents.savePage() #16742
  • webFrame.executeJavaScript() #17312
  • webFrame.executeJavaScriptInIsolatedWorld() #17312
  • webviewTag.executeJavaScript() #17312

这些功能现在有两种形式，即同步和基于Promise的异步：

  • dialog.showMessageBox()/dialog.showMessageBoxSync() #17298
  • dialog.showOpenDialog()/dialog.showOpenDialogSync() #16973
  • dialog.showSaveDialog()/dialog.showSaveDialogSync() #17054

These functions now return Promises:

Electron Helper (Renderer).app, Electron Helper (GPU).app and Electron Helper (Plugin).app​

In order to enable the hardened runtime, which restricts things like writable-executable memory and loading code signed by a different Team ID, special code signing entitlements needed to be granted to the Helper.

To keep these entitlements scoped to the process types that require them, Chromium added three new variants of the Helper app: one for renderers (Electron Helper (Renderer).app), one for the GPU process (Electron Helper (GPU).app) and one for plugins (Electron Helper (Plugin).app).

Folks using electron-osx-sign to codesign their Electron app shouldn't have to make any changes to their build logic. If you're codesigning your app with custom scripts, you should ensure that the three new Helper applications are correctly codesigned.

In order to package your application correctly with these new helpers you need to be using electron-packager@14.0.4 or higher. If you are using electron-builder you should follow this issue to track support for these new helpers.

重大更改​

  • This release begins laying the groundwork for a future requirement that native Node modules loaded in the renderer process be either N-API or Context Aware. The reasons for this change are faster performance, stronger security, and reduced maintenance workload. Read the full details including the proposed timeline in this issue. This change is expected to be completed in Electron v11.

  • net.IncomingMessage headers have changed slightly to more closely match Node.js behavior, particularly with the value of set-cookie and how duplicate headers are handled. #17517.

  • shell.showItemInFolder() now returns void and is an asynchronous call. #17121

  • Apps must now explicitly set a log path by calling the new function app.setAppLogPath() before using app.getPath('log'). #17841

终止对 3.x.y 的支持​

Per our support policy, 3.x.y has reached end of life. 我们鼓励开发者将应用程序升级到更新的 Electron 版本。

Electron 版本发布新步伐

⚡️ 更新日志(2021-07-14)：我们走得更快！

在2021 年秋季，Chrome 团队 将发布节奏从每 6 周提高到每 4 周一次。 Electron 也紧随其后发布。 请阅读已更新的 8周模板 博客文章 以了解更多最新信息！

🎉 Electron 每12周将会新发布一个稳定版本！ 🎉

⚡️ 哇，那也太快了！ 但为什么呢？​

简而言之，Chromium 不会停止发布新版本，所以 Electron 的研发也不会减速。

Chromium 的发布遵循每六周更新一次的规划。 为了在Electron中提供最新版本的Chromium，我们的发布计划需要跟踪他们的版本。 有关Chromium发布周期的更多信息可以在这里找到 。

🚀 为什么是每12周一次？​

每6周，新的 Chromium 版本就会发布新功能，错误 / 安全修复和 V8 的改进。 Electron 用户一直迫切明确地表示希望这些更改能及时进行，因此我们调整了稳定发布日期，以匹配其他所有Chromium 稳定版本。 首先，Electron v6.0.0 将包括 M76，并计划于2019年7月30日发布稳定版，与Chromium M76同一天发布。

🚧这对我和我的 Electron 应用意味着什么？​

您将能比以前更快地访问新的 Chromium 和 V8 功能和补丁。 重要的是，_当这些新变化到来时_您也能知道，因此您将能够使用比以前更好的信息进行规划。

Electron 团队 将继续支持 最新的三个主要版本。 例如，当 v6.0.0 在 2019 年 7 月 30 日稳定时，我们将继续支持 v6.x、v5.x 和 v4.x，而 v3.x 将寿终正寝。

💬 应用反馈项目​

请考虑加入我们的 应用反馈计划 ，以帮助我们测试 Beta 版和应用稳定性。 Projects who participate in this program test Electron betas on their apps; and in return, the new bugs they find are prioritized for the stable release.

📝 Electron 版本简史​

在 v3.0.0 之前，有关稳定版本的发布决策没有规律进行。 我们添加了项目的内部时间表与 v3.0.0 和 v4.0.0。 今年早些时候，我们决定首次发布 Electron v5.0.0 的稳定发布日期。 总的来说，宣布我们的稳定发布日期得到了积极的回应，我们很高兴在未来的版本中继续这样做。

为了更好地简化这些与升级相关的工作，我们的更新和发布工作组将会和我们的治理组合作 他们使得我们能够更好地确定这项工作的优先级并委派这项工作，我们希望在后续的版本中这些改变都会变得更加明显。

以下是我们和 Chromium 相比的更新计划表：
