Release Notes for v44.1.0

Fixes

• Fixed fs.constants.O_DIRECTORY, O_NOFOLLOW and O_DIRECT holding x86 values on Linux arm64 and armv7l, which made opening a directory fail with EINVAL, and made require('trace_events') behave the same on cross-compiled builds as on native ones. #​53320 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}

• Fixed a crash on Windows when V8 posted a delayed worker task during shutdown. #​53201 ^{(Also in 42, 43)}
• Fixed a crash on macOS when a WebAuthn Touch ID prompt was requested while no locale resources were loaded. #​53194 ^{(Also in 43)}
• Fixed a crash on macOS when a notification's icon could not be attached; the notification is now shown without the icon. #​53146 ^{(Also in 42, 43)}
• Fixed a crash when calling node:wasi functions in optimized code. #​53268 ^{(Also in 42, 43, 45)}
• Fixed a crash when calling utilityProcess.postMessage() after the utility process had exited. #​53300 ^{(Also in 43, 45)}
• Fixed a regression where a window created with a custom title can show an empty title after using back/forward navigation. #​53218 ^{(Also in 42, 43)}
• Fixed an issue where pages loaded in a detached WebContentsView wouldn't see the correct window size. #​53153 ^{(Also in 42, 43)}
• Fixed crashes in sharedTexture, service-worker ipcRenderer and utilityProcess.fork() caused by object lifetime bugs. #​53279 ^{(Also in 43, 45)}
• Fixed crashes in the main process when a webRequest.onBeforeRequest listener redirected a CORS preflight request, and when calling net.fetch() with a webRequest-permission extension loaded. #​53303 ^{(Also in 43, 45)}
• Fixed crashes when a webContents or parent window is destroyed while other APIs still reference it. #​53287 ^{(Also in 43, 45)}
• Fixed crashes when certain app event handlers call back into Electron synchronously. #​53275 ^{(Also in 43, 45)}
• Fixed region-qualified --lang values such as de-DE loading no locale resources on macOS, which left localized strings empty and could crash WebAuthn Touch ID prompts. #​53188 ^{(Also in 42, 43)}
