The tab feature introduced by #579 included a change that checks the `disposition` parameter and conditionally creates tabs, and that check was placed prior to the check to see if the URL is internal. This change moves the `linkIsInternal()` check earlier so that external links are always opened externally, regardless of disposition.
As part of #591, all window creation was routed through a createNewWindow function. That change introduced the regression reported in #616 in which popup windows could not communicate with their parent windows. This change reverts that behavior for windows opened via JavaScript (that aren't being opened as tabs and aren't being opened in external browsers), thereby fixing the reported regression.
By changing incorrect window `guest` property to `newGuest`. See

Electron supports using native tabs on macOS (API added in Electron 1.8.1). This change adds a context menu item on platforms that support it (macOS for now) to open links in new tabs, and also adds support for {command,middle}-clicking links to open them in a new tab.
Maintainer (@ronjouch) note: this feature is macOS-only. Windows/Linux patches welcome 🙂.
The electron-context-menu package uses the context-menu event emitted by WebContents (API added in Electron 1.0.2) to add a general context menu supporting generic actions (e.g. cut/copy/paste) that can be customized. This change replaces the existing context menu, which relies on adding an event listener in preload.js, with one built using the new package.
* Update deps except eslint
* Update eslint and lint:fix (WIP, needs manual fixing for remaining 44 problems)
* Manually fix remaining eslint errors
* Document deprecation of `version-string` as of electron-packager 9.0.0
* Upgrade to Electron 1.7.9 (chrome-58, node-7.9.0, v8-5.8)
* npm: Disable generation of package-lock.json and gitignore it
--Trying this, package-lock is a pain in PRs. May not be a good idea
(obviously we lose deps pinning), will revert if necessary.--
* npm tasks: add dev-up-win for Windows developers,
and e2e for end-to-end tests. Update docs.
* Move normalizeUrl test to a jest unit test, makes no sense to be in the mocha e2e tests
* Switch from babel-preset-es2015 to babel-preset-env,
with target.node=4.0. Seem like it's today's most convenient
way to support the latest ES and let babel transpile to what
makes sense for our currently minimal node version
