NW.js v0.116.0 Released with Chromium 153

2026/09/13

We are pleased to announce NW 0.116.0 with Chromium 153. Chromium 153 is the first release of the new two-week Chrome release cycle, which means upstream features and fixes now ship more frequently.

In NW v0.116, Chromium 153 contains the usual under-the-hood performance and stability tweaks, but there are also some cool new features to explore. It supports single-axis scroll containers (overflow: scroll clip), the scroll-axis-lock CSS property for diagonal scrolling, the TC39 Iterator.prototype.join() method and joint iteration, declarative <videocapture> and <audiocapture> capability elements for media access, Immersive Audio Model and Formats (IAMF) decoding in MSE, and a configurable WebAudio render quantum. The XML parser has also been replaced with a memory-safe Rust implementation for common scenarios. Please check upstream release notes for details. For a complete list of all features (including experimental features) in this release, see the Chrome 153 milestone hotlist.

We've made the 0.116 branch ready soon after Chromium beta bumps to 153. Thanks to the testers for their valuable feedback and bug reports. We've been working on 2 branches simultaneously: a released branch on the current Chromium stable and a beta branch on Chromium beta.

Best regards, NW.js maintainers
