Changements notables

• Stack Upgrades:

  Stack	Version dans Electron 6	Version dans Electron 7	What's New
  Chromium	76.0.3809.146	78.0.3905.1	77, 78
  V8	7.6	7.8	7.7, 7.8
  Node.js	12.4.0	12.8.1	12.5, 12.6, 12.7, 12.8, 12.8.1

• Added Windows on Arm (64 bit) release. #18591, #20112

• Added ipcRenderer.invoke() and ipcMain.handle() for asynchronous request/response-style IPC. These are strongly recommended over the remote module. See this "Electron’s ‘remote’ module considered harmful" blog post for more information. #18449

• Added nativeTheme API to read and respond to changes in the OS's theme and color scheme. #19758, #20486

• Switched to a new TypeScript Definitions generator. The resulting definitions are more precise; so if your TypeScript build fails, this is the likely cause. #18103

See the 7.0.0 release notes for a longer list of changes.

Programme de feedback

We continue to use our App Feedback Program for testing. Projects who participate in this program test Electron betas on their apps; and in return, the new bugs they find are prioritized for the stable release. If you'd like to participate or learn more, check out our blog post about the program.

What's Next

In the short term, you can expect the team to continue to focus on keeping up with the development of the major components that make up Electron, including Chromium, Node, and V8. 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. Le planning escompté de la version 8.0.0 planning défini les dates clés du cycle de vie de développement d'Electron 8. Also, see our versioning document for more detailed information about versioning in Electron.
