@akashnimare akashnimare released this 01 Apr 06:56

Security fixes:

  • CVE-2020-10856: Enable Electron context isolation. (Reported by Matt Austin.)
  • CVE-2020-10857: Fix unsafe use of shell.openExternal/shell.openItem. (Reported by Matt Austin.)
    • Downloaded files will no longer be opened directly; the previous option to show downloaded files in the file manager is now always on.
  • CVE-2020-10858: Add permission request handler to guard against audio/video recording by a malicious server. (Reported by Matt Austin.)

New features:

  • Add an option to prompt for the location to save each downloaded file.

Fixes:

  • Fix automatic launching at startup.
  • Fix Undo and Redo functionality on macOS.

Dependencies:

  • Upgrade all dependencies, including Electron 8.0.3.
  • Remove assert, cp-file, dotenv, electron-debug, and wurl.

Deprecations:

  • Since Electron upstream has discontinued support for 32-bit Linux, we will only provide 32-bit Linux builds on a best effort basis, and they will likely be removed in a future release.
