Find out what’s new and what’s next with Electron.

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 5: Chromium 73.0.3683.119, Node.js 12.0.0, and V8 7.3.492.27.

Electron 5 also includes improvements to Electron-specific APIs. A summary of the major changes is below; for the full list of changes, check out the Electron v5.0.0 release notes.

So what’s next?

Although we are careful not to make promises about release dates, our plan is release new major versions of Electron with new versions of those components approximately quarterly.
