Критические изменения

Removed: File.path

The nonstandard path property of the Web File object was added in an early version of Electron as a convenience method for working with native files when doing everything in the renderer was more common. However, it represents a deviation from the standard and poses a minor security risk as well, so beginning in Electron 32.0 it has been removed in favor of the webUtils.getPathForFile method.

// Before (renderer)
const file = document.querySelector('input[type=file]');
alert(`Uploaded file path was: ${file.path}`);
// After (renderer)
const file = document.querySelector('input[type=file]');
electron.showFilePath(file);

// After (preload)
const { contextBridge, webUtils } = require('electron');

contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld('electron', {
showFilePath(file) {
// It's best not to expose the full file path to the web content if
// possible.
const path = webUtils.getPathForFile(file);
alert(`Uploaded file path was: ${path}`);
},
});

Deprecated: clearHistory, canGoBack, goBack, canGoForward, goForward, goToIndex, canGoToOffset, goToOffset on WebContents

Navigation-related APIs on WebContents instances are now deprecated. These APIs have been moved to the navigationHistory property of WebContents to provide a more structured and intuitive interface for managing navigation history.

// Deprecated
win.webContents.clearHistory();
win.webContents.canGoBack();
win.webContents.goBack();
win.webContents.canGoForward();
win.webContents.goForward();
win.webContents.goToIndex(index);
win.webContents.canGoToOffset();
win.webContents.goToOffset(index);

// Replace with
win.webContents.navigationHistory.clear();
win.webContents.navigationHistory.canGoBack();
win.webContents.navigationHistory.goBack();
win.webContents.navigationHistory.canGoForward();
win.webContents.navigationHistory.goForward();
win.webContents.navigationHistory.canGoToOffset();
win.webContents.navigationHistory.goToOffset(index);
