NW.js 0.13.0 Migration Notes

This page is subject to change during the development of NW.js 0.13.x

Migrate from NW.js 0.12.x or older

require('nw.gui') does NOT exist. Instead, you can directly access NW.js API via nw.*.
Global Node.js objects, such as require, process, Buffer etc., do NOT exist. All Node.js objects are now loaded in nw.*. Just use nw.require('http') to require Node.js modules.
If NW.js is running under Mixed Context mode (boot NW.js with --mixed-context argument), nw.* is kind of mirror of window.*. In this mode, you CANNOT share variables among frames or windows by assigning it to Node context. So do NOT turn on Mixed Context mode if your application is heavily depending on this variable sharing feature.

Node.js is bumped to 5.x in latest build. Check your NPM modules to make sure they support Node.js 5.x. If you have dependencies of native modules, check on this list to see whether you have a compatible version.

Different build flavors support different set of APIs and capabilities. See Build Flavors to choose the right NW.js flavor or [build your own](Building nw.js).
Shortcut API does NOT map Ctrl modifier to ⌘ on Mac OS X. However 0.13.0 supports Command modifier in cross platform way. So it's your responsible to detect the OS and choose the right modifier when registering hotkeys. See Shortcut.
