We will continue updating version 7.x.x path with Chromium upgrades while working on the new major 8.0.0 version. Also, the 7.x.x will get new Chromium versions within one year after the version 8.0.0 is released.

Apart from Chromium upgrades, the following features are also planned for 7.x.x:

  • Support ARM64 under Windows.
