* fix: allow Node.js to manage microtasks queue
When `uv_run()` resulted in invocation of JS functions the microtask
queue checkpoint in Node's CallbackScope was a no-op because the
expected microtask queue policy was `kExplicit` and Electron ran under
`kScoped` policy. This change switches policy to `kExplicit` right
before `uv_run()` and reverts it back to original value after `uv_run()`
completes to provide better compatibility with Node.

When creating a widget on linux the bounds are restricted to the screen
size, when calling SetSize / SetBounds they are not. This fixes this
initialization issue by calling SetBounds after widget creation.
Noticed this issue while running linux tests on xvfb with a screen size
smaller than the default electron window size (resulted in a failed
test).

This fixes a flake on linux CI which started recently where the "write"
promise is being rejected after the request has been aborted /
cancelled. In this case we should drop the error to the floor but
instead we pass it down the stack where it eventually emits a now
unhandled error event.
Example failure: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/electron/electron/38072/workflows/c1faf19b-aa41-4f99-a564-165729222859/jobs/838813
Verified fix by running the test that caused it 10000 times before fix
and 10000 times after. ~50 failures before, 0 after.

desktopCapture.getSources() returns a promise which should resolve
when capturing finishes. Internally it creates an instance of
DesktopCapturer which is responsible for resolving or rejecting
the promise.
Between the time DesktopCapturer starts capturing frames and when
it finishes, it's possible for its handle to be GC'd leading to
it never resolving.
These changes pin the instance of DesktopCapturer until it either
finishes or errors.

Per discussions with the Foundation, we are making an update to all copyright headers to follow the Linux Foundation guidance on copyright notices. In particular, we are broadening them to cover all contributors, and eliminating the year to avoid the need to keep them up to date.

relevant from user prespective and after RenderWidgetHostView
is already present.
* feat: Raise a browser view via `BrowserWindow.setTopBrowserView()`.
This is similar to removing and re-adding a browser view, but avoids a visible flicker as the browser view is not removed from the window when using `setTopBrowserView`. Note: if the given browser view is not attached to the window, it will be added.

During browser shutdown, the `DownloadManager` was being cleaned up
*after* the Node environment had already been destroyed. This caused the
`DownloadItem::OnDownloadUpdated` callback to crash when trying to emit
the JS `done` event.
To prevent this, we now manually shut down the `DownloadManager`
earlier. This is also mentioned in the comment on
`DownloadManager::Shutdown`:
```
// Shutdown the download manager. Content calls this when BrowserContext is
// being destructed. If the embedder needs this to be called earlier, it can
// call it. In that case, the delegate's Shutdown() method will only be called
// once.
```
* fix: prevent crash when destroyed widget receives keyboard event

event will lead to a nullptr dereferenced in Chromium code if the window widget has

* Document coordinate system of badly named method getCursorScreenPoint
[Electron inherits this confusing name from Chromium](99314be815/ui/display/win/screen_win.cc (L677-L681)). We can also see there that the return value is a DIPPoint, due to `ScreenToDIPPoint` call:
gfx::Point ScreenWin::GetCursorScreenPoint() {
POINT pt;
::GetCursorPos(&pt);
return gfx::ToFlooredPoint(ScreenToDIPPoint(gfx::PointF(gfx::Point(pt))));
}
I lost over a day due to debugging this. I don't think we can change the method name due to backwards compatibility, but we can at least make amends in the documentation.
* Remove advice

The Electron team is currently undergoing an initiative to modernize our API in a few concrete ways. These include: updating our modules to use idiomatic JS properties instead of separate `getPropertyX` and `setPropertyX`, converting callbacks to promises, and removing some other anti-patterns present in our APIs. The current status of the Promise initiative can be tracked in the [promisification](promisification.md) tracking file.
As we work to perform these updates, we seek to create the least disruptive amount of change at any given time, so as many changes as possible will be introduced in a backward compatible manner and deprecated after enough time has passed to give users a chance to upgrade their API calls.
This document and its child documents will be updated to reflect the latest status of our API changes.
The Electron team is currently undergoing an initiative to convert separate getter and setter functions in Electron to bespoke properties with `get` and `set` functionality. During this transition period, both the new properties and old getters and setters of these functions will work correctly and be documented.

* **Deprecated:** An API was marked as deprecated. The API will continue to function, but will emit a deprecation warning, and will be removed in a future release.
* **Removed:** An API or feature was removed, and is no longer supported by Electron.
## Planned Breaking API Changes (14.0)
### API Changed: `window.(open)`
The optional parameter `frameName` will no longer set the title of the window. This now follows the specification described by the [native documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open#parameters) under the corresponding parameter `windowName`.
If you were using this parameter to set the title of a window, you can instead use [win.setTitle(title)](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/api/browser-window#winsettitletitle).
### Removed: `worldSafeExecuteJavaScript`
In Electron 14, `worldSafeExecuteJavaScript` will be removed. There is no alternative, please
ensure your code works with this property enabled. It has been enabled by default since Electron
12.
You will be affected by this change if you use either `webFrame.executeJavaScript` or `webFrame.executeJavaScriptInIsolatedWorld`. You will need to ensure that values returned by either of those methods are supported by the [Context Bridge API](api/context-bridge.md#parameter--error--return-type-support) as these methods use the same value passing semantics.
## Planned Breaking API Changes (13.0)
### API Changed: `session.setPermissionCheckHandler(handler)`
The `new-window` event of WebContents has been deprecated. It is replaced by [`webContents.setWindowOpenHandler()`](api/web-contents.md#contentssetwindowopenhandlerhandler).
```js
// Deprecated in Electron 13
webContents.on('new-window',(event)=>{
event.preventDefault()
})
// Replace with
webContents.setWindowOpenHandler((details)=>{
return{action:'deny'}
})
