v44.0.0-beta.5

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed `registerFileProtocol` and `registerHttpProtocol` returning readable responses to cross-origin `no-cors` fetches; they now return opaque responses like `protocol.handle`.
• Fixed a `WebContentsView` staying blank after its window is shown when `setBackgroundThrottling(false)` was called while the window was hidden.
• Fixed a crash when resolving a path inside a malformed ASAR archive that contains cyclic link entries.
• Fixed a crash with `app.setLoginItemSettings` if a non-UTF8 service name is used.
• Fixed a memory leak when creating BrowserWindows.
• Fixed a possible crash (SIGABRT) during process exit when the process had loaded `tls`/`https` shortly before exiting, affecting `app.exit()` before `ready` and short-lived `ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE` / `child_process.fork()` scripts.
• Fixed a rare crash in the main process when DevTools were opened and a garbage collection ran before the DevTools frontend finished loading.
• Fixed a regression preventing transparent frameless windows from being resized on Linux.
• Fixed an `npm install` failure with no recovery path when the OS blocked the native zip extractor from loading (for example, Windows Smart App Control).
• Fixed an issue on Windows where the app process could fail to exit after `app.quit()` while a `shell.openExternal()` or `shell.openPath()` call was still waiting on a system "Open with" dialog.
• Fixed custom V8 snapshots (`electron-mksnapshot`, and the `loadBrowserProcessSpecificV8Snapshot` fuse) having no effect in the main process on macOS arm64, Linux x64 and Windows x64.
• Fixed downloading files that live inside an asar archive, including saving a packed PDF from the built-in PDF viewer.
• Fixed the built-in PDF viewer not rendering documents in in-memory sessions (partitions without the `persist:` prefix).
• Fixed windows opened by a sandboxed top-level frame not inheriting the opener's sandbox restrictions.
