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 (37.0)

Utility Process unhandled rejection behavior change

Utility Processes will now warn with an error message when an unhandled rejection occurs instead of crashing the process.

To restore the previous behavior, you can use:

process.on('unhandledRejection', () => {
  process.exit(1)
})

Behavior Changed: WebUSB and WebSerial Blocklist Support

WebUSB and Web Serial now support the WebUSB Blocklist and Web Serial Blocklist used by Chromium and outlined in their respective specifications.

To disable these, users can pass disable-usb-blocklist and disable-serial-blocklist as command line flags.

Removed: null value for session property in ProtocolResponse

This deprecated feature has been removed.

Previously, setting the ProtocolResponse.session property to null would create a random independent session. This is no longer supported.

Using single-purpose sessions here is discouraged due to overhead costs; however, old code that needs to preserve this behavior can emulate it by creating a random session with session.fromPartition(some_random_string) and then using it in ProtocolResponse.session.

Behavior Changed: BrowserWindow.IsVisibleOnAllWorkspaces() on Linux

BrowserWindow.IsVisibleOnAllWorkspaces() will now return false on Linux if the
