* docs: ensure that optionality matches between documented params and signatures
* docs: ensure that all optional declarations are lower case
* chore: fix broken link
* build: allow pulling in a later version of Clang
Due to a code-generation defect related to virtual method thunks in the
official compiler used for Chromium M76, it's necessary to build for WoA
with a later version of Clang. When running gclient sync, setting
ELECTRON_BUILD_WOA=1 in the environment will download a corrected
compiler which doesn't have this defect.
* docs: add a note about building for Windows on Arm
* refactor: bundle the browser and renderer process electron code
* Bundles browser/init and renderer/init
* Improves load performance of main process by ~40%
* Improves load performance of renderer process by ~30%
* Prevents users from importing our "requiring" our internal logic such
as ipc-main-internal. This makes those message buses safer as they are
less accessible, there is still some more work to be done though to lock
down those buses completely.
* The electron.asar file now only contains 2 files, as a future
improvement maybe we can use atom_natives to ship these two files
embedded in the binary
* This also removes our dependency on browserify which had some strange
edge cases that caused us to have to hack around require-order and
stopped us using certain ES6/7 features we should have been able to use
(async / await in some files in the sandboxed renderer init script)
TLDR: Things are faster and better :)
* fix: I really do not want to talk about it
* chore: add performance improvements from debugging
* fix: resolve the provided path so webpack thinks it is absolute
* chore: fixup per PR review
* fix: use webpacks ProvidePlugin to keep global, process and Buffer alive after deletion from global scope for use in internal code
* fix: bundle worker/init as well to make node-in-workers work
* chore: update wording as per feedback
* chore: make the timers hack work when yarn is not used
* chore: allow conditional disable of the site instance override patches at runtime
* feat: add app.allowRendererProcessReuse property to allow runtime disable of site instance overrides
spec: add tests for the new allowRendererProcessReuse property
feat: add console warnings / errors for loading non context-aware native modules
* Only error if the patch is disabled
* Warn all the time, this will ship in Electron 7
* Use "Breaking Changes" as the changes doc's title.
Multiple people have commented that this important page is difficult
to find, in part because people search for "Breaking" or "Changes" or
"Breaking Changes" rather than "API Contract".
This PR changes the name to "Breaking Changes" so that it'll show up
on electronjs.org/docs/.
It also adds a backwards-friendly link so people still searching for
"API Contract" will get a redirect. I'm not sure if this is necessary --
the actual URL of https://electronjs.org/docs/api/breaking-changes is
unchanged -- would especially welcome feedback on this part.
* fixup! Use "Breaking Changes" as the changes doc's title.
* fixup! Use "Breaking Changes" as the changes doc's title.
* fix: add parentheses
Add parentheses to the end `app.showAboutPanel`, because this is method.
* fix: change 'Promise<string>' to 'Promise<String>'
Change `Promise<string>` to `Promise<String>`, because this is class name.
* docs: change lower case to upper case
Change lower case in word `menu` to upper case - `Menu`, because it's method.
