We will continue updating version 2.x.x path with Chromium upgrades while working on the new major 3.0.0 version. Also, the 2.x.x will get new Chromium versions within six months after the version 3.0.0 is released.

Apart from Chromium upgrades, the following features are also planned for 2.x.x:

  • Add official support of Avalonia XPF.
  • Suppress all unexpected network traffic from the Chromium engine.
  • Add support for Linux flavors most popular in China such as Deepin, Kylin, and Tongxin.
