FYI, feature freeze for M72 is on Nov 9. get ur upstreams in

November 5th, 2018 from 11:59 PM to 12:59 AM GMT-0800 at https://github.zoom.us/my/electron

PSA: I’m on a mission to delete as many patches from patches/ as possible, whether by finding other ways to get the functionality we need or by upstreaming changes so that we can use the upstream code unpatched. Ideally, every patch in patches/ should either:
1. be deleted (possibly by upstreaming),
2. be a backport (and thus have a limited lifetime; i.e. will be deleted when we upgrade to a future chrome version), or
3. have a good justification written in its description for why the patch can’t be upstreamed, removed or implemented without patching.
If you’re thinking about adding a new patch, please stop to think if you could implement the functionality you need without a patch, and if not, consider how you could upstream the change you’re trying to make. Every patch is a maintenance burden, and the fewer we have the easier it will be for us to stay up-to-date with current Chromium.
I’ve said this to a few people in 1:1 conversations and on PRs, but I haven’t made a broader announcement until now. So now I have.
tl;dr: don’t add more patches!

  Breaking changes will be documented here, and deprecation warnings added to JS code where possible, at least [one major version](../tutorial/electron-versioning.md#semver) before the change is made.
  
  # `FIXME` comments
  
  The `FIXME` string is used in code comments to denote things that should be fixed for future releases. See https://github.com/electron/electron/search?q=fixme
  
  # Planned Breaking API Changes (5.0)
  
  ## `new BrowserWindow({ webPreferences })`
  
  The following `webPreferences` option default values are deprecated in favor of the new defaults listed below.
  
  | Property | Deprecated Default | New Default |
  |----------|--------------------|-------------|
  | `contextIsolation` | `false` | `true` |
  | `nodeIntegration` | `true` | `false` |
  | `webviewTag` | `nodeIntegration` if set else `true` | `false` |

  # Planned Breaking API Changes (4.0)
  
  The following list includes the breaking API changes planned for Electron 4.0.
  
  ## `app.makeSingleInstance`

  When building native modules for windows, the `win_delay_load_hook` variable in
  the module's `binding.gyp` must be true (which is the default). If this hook is
  not present, then the native module will fail to load on Windows, with an error
  message like `Cannot find module`. See the [native module

## Duplicate ARM Assets
  
  Each Electron release includes two identical ARM builds with slightly different
  filenames, like `electron-v1.7.3-linux-arm.zip` and
  `electron-v1.7.3-linux-armv7l.zip`. The asset with the `v7l` prefix was added
  to clarify to users which ARM version it supports, and to disambiguate it from
  future armv6l and arm64 assets that may be produced.
  
  The file _without the prefix_ is still being published to avoid breaking any
  setups that may be consuming it. Starting at 2.0, the un-prefixed file will
  no longer be published.
  
  For details, see
  [6986](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/6986)
  and
  [7189](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/7189).

Hi @channel.
The next Electron Developer Summit (London, UK), will dedicate time to an important topic.
Governance
Rooted in its small origin, Electron has an informal structure. We have some rules enforced by GitHub, but aside from that it’s often unclear who is responsible for what.
A good governance hopes to solve more problems than it creates. We have dedicated the first day of the summit to ratifying a first-pass at a formal governance.
We want to get some preliminary work done before meeting in person in February. Starting in January, we will begin regular meetings to setup some initial structure. If you’re interested, keey an eye out for those meetings!
In the meant time, we will post a video of the initially proposed structure. The videos content is a starting place. It’s not the end.
The video will be recorded here (https://calendar.google.com/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=NmszZ2tvNm8xN2xzODZlM3M2cm5hczZiOHAgZ3JvdW5kd2F0ZXJAZ2l0aHViLmNvbQ&tmsrc=groundwater%40github.com). Please feel free to attend and ask questions. We will post the video later this week.
The slides for the video are here (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/12TyQQbE1oMJiLBCAvjuOmhoF2k5iQtzuUJG6Nx08Prs/edit), and @UB1CD7T0R has written a great overview of the slides here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/18Xm1uFHzmwjZFNjyiLynC86_0DVlp7VitHy8Qigdwdg/edit).
Questions welcomed in thread.

3.0.x and 3.1.x releases going out in ~10 minutes
