#2I have eagerly waited for this release, as it uses Chrome 66. Previous stable version used Chrome 61, which lacked some nice additions to JS, most notably for me - the complete Intl API support.

Looks like the BrowserWindow events at the js api level are unchanged for the past two years.

I want to work at a company like that, where I can just blame the "stack" we're using and shrug my shoulders.
