Windows 95 turned 25 two years ago, and many members of the Windows community probably still consider it one of Microsoft's greatest operating systems. A GitHub project will probably excite them.
Called simply “Windows 95”, the project brings Windows 95 to life with the help of the Electron framework. So it can run on Windows, Mac and Linux.
Today, the latest version (3.1.1) of the app has been released, which brings some major changes, as the Electron framework has also had a major update. In general, the app will now support the latest Chromium 106.
v3.1.1 Changes:
- Upgraded from Electron v18 to Electron v21 (and with it, Chrome and Node.js)
- Upgraded v86 (sound is back!)
Electron 21.0.0 also supports “immersive dark mode on Windows” which will help you set a black title bar from system preferences. Other features include Bluetooth Web pairing support, support for the V8 JavaScript engine, and more. The main changes in Electron 21.0.0 are given here.
