## What changed (51 changes, grouped by kind)

### Added

#### v44.0.0 (2026-08-25)

- Added `select-client-certificate` event support for `net.request` and `net.fetch` to allow applications to select a certificate to present when servers request a client certificate
- Added `Notification.remove()`, `removeAll()`, and `removeGroup()` static methods for macOS
- Added `available` to `process.getSystemMemoryInfo()` on Linux
- Added `net.WebSocket`, a WHATWG-compatible WebSocket client for the main process that routes through Chromium's network stack
- Added `webContents.setZoomMode(mode)`, `webContents.getZoomMode()`, and `webContents.zoomMode` for per-WebContents zoom control
- Added `webFrameMain.printToPDF()` to allow printing individual frames to PDF from the main process
- Added a Save/Restore Window State API for cross-platform use
- Added a `badge` property to `MenuItem` on macOS 14+ for showing a count or custom text badge next to a menu item's label
- Added support for `win.setOpacity(opacity)` on Linux
- Added `webContents.caretBrowsingEnabled` for toggling caret browsing in a WebContents
- Frameless windows on Linux now have rounded corners by default; rounded corners can be disabled on all platforms by setting `roundedCorners: false`
- Restored `app.setBadgeCount` and `win.setProgressBar` for Linux with support for any dock or taskbar implementing the LauncherEntry D-Bus API

### Changed

#### v44.2.0 (2026-09-04)

- Improved throughput of responses that protocol.handle handlers return straight from net.fetch

#### v44.1.0 (2026-08-31)

- Page resources, fetch() calls and file:// loads in renderers no longer wait for the main process to be idle when no webRequest listeners or protocol interceptors are registered

#### v44.0.0 (2026-08-25)

- ANGLE is now statically linked into the Electron binary on all platforms; the `libEGL` and `libGLESv2` libraries are no longer shipped in the distribution
- `net.request` now rejects requests where `Sec-Fetch-Dest` is `document`, `frame`, `iframe`, or `fencedframe` unless `Sec-Fetch-Mode` is also set to `navigate`
- Frameless windows on Linux now use system-themed titlebar icons for Window Controls Overlay

### Fixed

#### v44.2.0 (2026-09-04)

- Fixed a pending read on a net.request chunked upload stream inside a protocol handler never settling when the request failed or was aborted
- Fixed a potential crash when using menu.popup with a frame from an offscreen rendered window
- Fixed an intermittent crash on Windows when an ASAR integrity violation is detected, so the process now exits with code 1 as intended
- Fixed application crash after a large number of IPC messages from renderers
- Fixed native addons deriving from node::ObjectWrap aborting during garbage collection on Node.js 24.19.0 and later

#### v44.1.1 (2026-09-01)

- Fixed chrome.tabs.query() returning tab url and title to extensions without the tabs permission or host access, aligning with tabs.get
- Fixed a renderer crash when an array with a throwing property getter is passed across contextBridge, and several main/utility-process crashes when option objects passed to Electron APIs contain throwing accessors or Proxy traps
- Fixed an intermittent crash at startup on Linux caused by a race between Pango and the main thread initializing fontconfig
- Fixed an issue where an exception thrown by a property getter on an object passed through contextBridge was swallowed instead of being thrown back to the caller
- Fixed main process crashes when navigating to http://accessibility/ or http://devtools/, when an extension background page used navigator.mediaDevices, and when calling SerialPort.forget() for a disconnected device
- Fixed the PDF viewer failing to save an edited PDF with NotAllowedError: Third party iframes are not allowed to show a file picker

#### v44.1.0 (2026-08-31)

- Fixed fs.constants.O_DIRECTORY, O_NOFOLLOW and O_DIRECT holding x86 values on Linux arm64 and armv7l, which made opening a directory fail with EINVAL, and made require('trace_events') behave the same on cross-compiled builds as on native ones
- Fixed webContents.executeJavaScriptInIsolatedWorld resolving with undefined when worldId was not an integer
- Fixed webContents.print() honoring printBackground, duplexMode, and printer default duplex settings
- Fixed a crash on Windows when V8 posted a delayed worker task during shutdown
- Fixed a crash on macOS when a WebAuthn Touch ID prompt was requested while no locale resources were loaded
- Fixed a crash on macOS when a notification's icon could not be attached; the notification is now shown without the icon
- Fixed a crash when calling node:wasi functions in optimized code
- Fixed a crash when calling utilityProcess.postMessage() after the utility process had exited
- Fixed a regression where a window created with a custom title can show an empty title after using back/forward navigation
- Fixed an issue where pages loaded in a detached WebContentsView wouldn't see the correct window size
- Fixed crashes in sharedTexture, service-worker ipcRenderer and utilityProcess.fork() caused by object lifetime bugs
- Fixed crashes in the main process when a webRequest.onBeforeRequest listener redirected a CORS preflight request, and when calling net.fetch() with a webRequest-permission extension loaded
- Fixed crashes when a webContents or parent window is destroyed while other APIs still reference it
- Fixed crashes when certain app event handlers call back into Electron synchronously
- Fixed region-qualified --lang values such as de-DE loading no locale resources on macOS, which left localized strings empty and could crash WebAuthn Touch ID prompts
- Fixed the GPU process being terminated in AppX/MSIX packaged apps on Windows when WebGPU fell back to SwiftShader
- Fixed the tray icon not appearing on GNOME (and disappearing entirely on Wayland) since 44.0.0-beta.6
- Fixed windows native message boxes being dismissed by other applications using invalid button ID

### Removed

- Removed support for the Unity desktop environment on Linux
- Removed support for macOS 12 (Monterey); macOS 13 (Ventura) or later is now required
- Removed 32-bit builds (Windows ia32 and Linux armv7l); Electron is now published only for 64-bit platforms
- The `clipboard` module is no longer exposed to renderer processes and is now aligned with the W3C Clipboard API

#### Release Notes for v44.0.0

##### Stack Upgrades

* Chromium `152.0.7977.54`
    * [New in 152](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-chrome-152/)
    * [New in 151](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-chrome-151/)
* Node `v24.18.1`
    * [Node 24.18.1 blog post](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v24.18.1/)
    * [Node 24.18.0 blog post](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v24.18.0/)
* V8 `15.2`

##### Breaking Changes

* Removed support for the Unity desktop environment on Linux. [#51649](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/51649) 
* Added `select-client-certificate` event support for `net.request` and `net.fetch`; requests to servers requesting a client certificate no longer fail with `ERR_SSL_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT_NEEDED`, and applications can now select a certificate to present. [#52397](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/52397)
* macOS 12 (Monterey) is no longer supported by [Chromium](https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/7907086). Older versions of Electron will continue to run on Monterey, but macOS 13 (Ventura) or later will be required to run Electron v44.0.0 and higher. [#51967](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/51967)
* ANGLE is now [statically linked](https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40268378) into the Electron binary on all platforms, matching upstream Chromium. The `libEGL.(so|dylib|dll)` and `libGLESv2.(so|dylib|dll)` libraries are no longer shipped in the distribution. [#52288](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/52288)
* `net.request` now rejects requests where `Sec-Fetch-Dest` is `document`, `frame`, `iframe`, or `fencedframe` unless `Sec-Fetch-Mode` is also set to `navigate`. [#52216](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/52216)
* Removed 32-bit builds (Windows ia32 and Linux armv7l). Electron is now published only for 64-bit (x64 and arm64) platforms. [#52326](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/52326) 
* The `clipboard` module is now aligned with the W3C Clipboard API and is no longer exposed to renderer processes. [#52508](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/52508)
* Removed the `openAsHidden` option from `app.setLoginItemSettings()` and the `openAsHidden`, `wasOpenedAsHidden` and `restoreState` fields from the return value of `app.getLoginItemSettings()`. These only worked on macOS 12 and below, which are no longer supported. [#52667](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/52667)

See the [Breaking Changes](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/main/docs/breaking-changes.md) doc for more details about these changes.
