We're currently building these on the heap with `std::set<std::string>`
but this can be a very small compile-time container instead.
Marking as 'refactor' rather than 'perf' since this isn't called often,
but moving from heap to compile-time is good and using this container
makes the code more readable.

refactor: sync api::Screen getter sigs to upstream
ui::Display GetAllDisplays(), GetPrimaryDisplay(), GetDisplayMatching(),
and GetDisplayNearestPoint() methods are all const, so make our wrappers
const too.
ui::Display GetAllDisplays() returns a const reference, so make our
wrapper return a const reference too. This avoids creating a new

Xref: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/4313019
Previously, our implementation checked to see if we recognized the
cookie param that was passed in. If so, we reported a bad message.
Otherwise, we passed it up to the base class' UpdatePrintSettings().
CL4313019 removed the cookie param, so checking for a bad cookie
param is no longer necessary / no longer possible. Since the only
remaining task was to pass the work up to the base class, this commit
removes the subclass implmentation entirely.

Change factuality and word choice.
Added "or WOW" to the phrase, "when they are running the x64 version under Rosetta", to reflect the use of a supported platform, Windows, as a possible scenario.
Changed the wording of that same sentence to make it appear clearer. "incorrectly" to "mistakenly" and moved this word to before the verb instead of the end of the sentence.
#### Description of Change
The first sentence within the documentation "[Important: signing your code](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/tutorial-packaging#important-signing-your-code)" is grammatically incorrect.
> In order to distribute desktop applications to end users, we highly recommended for you to code sign your Electron app.
I've adjusted the copy to switch "highly recommended" to "highly recommend". I've also switched out "for you to code sign" for "that you code sign" for clarity.
> In order to distribute desktop applications to end users, we _highly recommend_ that you **code sign** your Electron app.
docs: fix code highlighting in preload tutorial
The highlighted lines in the code snippets were unaligned,
which could cause a newcomer unneeded confusion on what
lines need to be changed.
Fix incorrect highlight in an example snippet
At the moment, the "Communicating between processes" `main.js` snippet highlights the line containing `})` when the relevant line is `ipcMain.handle('ping', () => 'pong')`.

* build: only run sync in prebuild environment
* build: list env vars

* refactor: change defined(MAS_BUILD) to IS_MAS_BUILD()
This is missing-definition safe and thus allows us to move the definition of this macro away from "all compilation targets" to "just the compilation targets that depend on this macro".
In turn this makes the rebuild time changing from mas <-> darwin only 80 seconds on my machine, instead of the 12-15 minutes it used to take. This will also allow us in the future to build both MAS and darwin on the same CI machine. Costing us ~2 minutes on one machine but saving us anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour of CI time on other parts of the matrix.

feat: ensure mas builds of the same application can use safestorage
This change ensures that MAS builds of applications with an equivilant darwin build that share the same name do not fight over access to the same Safe Storage account.
Specifically this changes the account name for app "My App" from "My App" to "My App AppStore" if the app is using a MAS build of Electron.
We attempt to migrate the safe storage key from the old account, if that migration succeeds we delete the old key and move on.
Existing apps that aren't built for the app store should be unimpacted, there is one edge case where a user uses BOTH an AppStore and a darwin build of the same app only one will keep it's access to the safestorage key as during the migration we delete the old account. This is an acceptable edge case as no one should be actively using two versions of the same app.

*`hasShadow` boolean (optional) - Whether window should have a shadow. Default is `true`.
*`opacity` number (optional) _macOS__Windows_ - Set the initial opacity of
the window, between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque). This
is only implemented on Windows and macOS.
*`darkTheme` boolean (optional) - Forces using dark theme for the window, only works on
some GTK+3 desktop environments. Default is `false`.
*`transparent` boolean (optional) - Makes the window [transparent](../tutorial/window-customization.md#create-transparent-windows).
Default is `false`. On Windows, does not work unless the window is frameless.
*`type` string (optional) - The type of window, default is normal window. See more about

*`hidden` - Results in a hidden title bar and a full size content window. On macOS, the window still has the standard window controls (“traffic lights”) in the top left. On Windows, when combined with `titleBarOverlay: true` it will activate the Window Controls Overlay (see `titleBarOverlay` for more information), otherwise no window controls will be shown.
*`hiddenInset`_macOS_ - Only on macOS, results in a hidden title bar
with an alternative look where the traffic light buttons are slightly
more inset from the window edge.
*`customButtonsOnHover`_macOS_ - Only on macOS, results in a hidden
title bar and a full size content window, the traffic light buttons will
display when being hovered over in the top left of the window.
`tooltip`, `content`, `under-window`, or `under-page`. Please note that
`appearance-based`, `light`, `dark`, `medium-light`, and `ultra-dark` are
deprecated and have been removed in macOS Catalina (10.15).
*`zoomToPageWidth` boolean (optional) _macOS_ - Controls the behavior on
macOS when option-clicking the green stoplight button on the toolbar or by
clicking the Window > Zoom menu item. If `true`, the window will grow to
the preferred width of the web page when zoomed, `false` will cause it to
zoom to the width of the screen. This will also affect the behavior when
calling `maximize()` directly. Default is `false`.
*`tabbingIdentifier` string (optional) _macOS_ - Tab group name, allows
opening the window as a native tab. Windows with the same
tabbing identifier will be grouped together. This also adds a native new
tab button to your window's tab bar and allows your `app` and window to
receive the `new-window-for-tab` event.
*`webPreferences` Object (optional) - Settings of web page's features.
*`devTools` boolean (optional) - Whether to enable DevTools. If it is set to `false`, can not use `BrowserWindow.webContents.openDevTools()` to open DevTools. Default is `true`.
*`nodeIntegration` boolean (optional) - Whether node integration is enabled.
Default is `false`.
*`nodeIntegrationInWorker` boolean (optional) - Whether node integration is
enabled in web workers. Default is `false`. More about this can be found
in [Multithreading](../tutorial/multithreading.md).
*`nodeIntegrationInSubFrames` boolean (optional) - Experimental option for
enabling Node.js support in sub-frames such as iframes and child windows. All your preloads will load for
every iframe, you can use `process.isMainFrame` to determine if you are
in the main frame or not.
*`preload` string (optional) - Specifies a script that will be loaded before other
scripts run in the page. This script will always have access to node APIs
no matter whether node integration is turned on or off. The value should
be the absolute file path to the script.
When node integration is turned off, the preload script can reintroduce
Node global symbols back to the global scope. See example
*`sandbox` boolean (optional) - If set, this will sandbox the renderer
associated with the window, making it compatible with the Chromium
OS-level sandbox and disabling the Node.js engine. This is not the same as
the `nodeIntegration` option and the APIs available to the preload script
are more limited. Read more about the option [here](../tutorial/sandbox.md).
*`session` [Session](session.md#class-session) (optional) - Sets the session used by the
page. Instead of passing the Session object directly, you can also choose to
use the `partition` option instead, which accepts a partition string. When
both `session` and `partition` are provided, `session` will be preferred.
Default is the default session.
*`partition` string (optional) - Sets the session used by the page according to the
session's partition string. If `partition` starts with `persist:`, the page
will use a persistent session available to all pages in the app with the
same `partition`. If there is no `persist:` prefix, the page will use an
in-memory session. By assigning the same `partition`, multiple pages can share
the same session. Default is the default session.
*`zoomFactor` number (optional) - The default zoom factor of the page, `3.0` represents
`300%`. Default is `1.0`.
*`javascript` boolean (optional) - Enables JavaScript support. Default is `true`.
*`webSecurity` boolean (optional) - When `false`, it will disable the
same-origin policy (usually using testing websites by people), and set
`allowRunningInsecureContent` to `true` if this options has not been set
by user. Default is `true`.
*`allowRunningInsecureContent` boolean (optional) - Allow an https page to run
JavaScript, CSS or plugins from http URLs. Default is `false`.
*`images` boolean (optional) - Enables image support. Default is `true`.
*`imageAnimationPolicy` string (optional) - Specifies how to run image animations (E.g. GIFs). Can be `animate`, `animateOnce` or `noAnimation`. Default is `animate`.
*`textAreasAreResizable` boolean (optional) - Make TextArea elements resizable. Default
is `true`.
*`webgl` boolean (optional) - Enables WebGL support. Default is `true`.
*`plugins` boolean (optional) - Whether plugins should be enabled. Default is `false`.
*`defaultFontFamily` Object (optional) - Sets the default font for the font-family.
*`standard` string (optional) - Defaults to `Times New Roman`.
*`serif` string (optional) - Defaults to `Times New Roman`.
*`sansSerif` string (optional) - Defaults to `Arial`.
*`monospace` string (optional) - Defaults to `Courier New`.
*`cursive` string (optional) - Defaults to `Script`.
*`fantasy` string (optional) - Defaults to `Impact`.
*`defaultFontSize` Integer (optional) - Defaults to `16`.
*`defaultMonospaceFontSize` Integer (optional) - Defaults to `13`.
*`minimumFontSize` Integer (optional) - Defaults to `0`.
*`defaultEncoding` string (optional) - Defaults to `ISO-8859-1`.
*`backgroundThrottling` boolean (optional) - Whether to throttle animations and timers
when the page becomes background. This also affects the
[Page Visibility API](#page-visibility). Defaults to `true`.
*`offscreen` boolean (optional) - Whether to enable offscreen rendering for the browser
window. Defaults to `false`. See the
[offscreen rendering tutorial](../tutorial/offscreen-rendering.md) for
more details.
*`contextIsolation` boolean (optional) - Whether to run Electron APIs and
the specified `preload` script in a separate JavaScript context. Defaults
to `true`. The context that the `preload` script runs in will only have
access to its own dedicated `document` and `window` globals, as well as
its own set of JavaScript builtins (`Array`, `Object`, `JSON`, etc.),
which are all invisible to the loaded content. The Electron API will only
be available in the `preload` script and not the loaded page. This option
should be used when loading potentially untrusted remote content to ensure
the loaded content cannot tamper with the `preload` script and any
Electron APIs being used. This option uses the same technique used by
[Chrome Content Scripts][chrome-content-scripts]. You can access this
context in the dev tools by selecting the 'Electron Isolated Context'
entry in the combo box at the top of the Console tab.
*`webviewTag` boolean (optional) - Whether to enable the [`<webview>` tag](webview-tag.md).
Defaults to `false`. **Note:** The
`preload` script configured for the `<webview>` will have node integration
enabled when it is executed so you should ensure remote/untrusted content
is not able to create a `<webview>` tag with a possibly malicious `preload`
script. You can use the `will-attach-webview` event on [webContents](web-contents.md)
to strip away the `preload` script and to validate or alter the
`<webview>`'s initial settings.
*`additionalArguments` string[] (optional) - A list of strings that will be appended
to `process.argv` in the renderer process of this app. Useful for passing small
bits of data down to renderer process preload scripts.
*`safeDialogs` boolean (optional) - Whether to enable browser style
consecutive dialog protection. Default is `false`.
*`safeDialogsMessage` string (optional) - The message to display when
consecutive dialog protection is triggered. If not defined the default
message would be used, note that currently the default message is in
English and not localized.
*`disableDialogs` boolean (optional) - Whether to disable dialogs
completely. Overrides `safeDialogs`. Default is `false`.
*`navigateOnDragDrop` boolean (optional) - Whether dragging and dropping a
file or link onto the page causes a navigation. Default is `false`.
*`autoplayPolicy` string (optional) - Autoplay policy to apply to
content in the window, can be `no-user-gesture-required`,
`user-gesture-required`, `document-user-activation-required`. Defaults to
`no-user-gesture-required`.
*`disableHtmlFullscreenWindowResize` boolean (optional) - Whether to
prevent the window from resizing when entering HTML Fullscreen. Default
is `false`.
*`accessibleTitle` string (optional) - An alternative title string provided only
to accessibility tools such as screen readers. This string is not directly
visible to users.
*`spellcheck` boolean (optional) - Whether to enable the builtin spellchecker.
Default is `true`.
*`enableWebSQL` boolean (optional) - Whether to enable the [WebSQL api](https://www.w3.org/TR/webdatabase/).
Default is `true`.
*`v8CacheOptions` string (optional) - Enforces the v8 code caching policy
used by blink. Accepted values are
*`none` - Disables code caching
*`code` - Heuristic based code caching
*`bypassHeatCheck` - Bypass code caching heuristics but with lazy compilation
*`bypassHeatCheckAndEagerCompile` - Same as above except compilation is eager.
Default policy is `code`.
*`enablePreferredSizeMode` boolean (optional) - Whether to enable
preferred size mode. The preferred size is the minimum size needed to
contain the layout of the document—without requiring scrolling. Enabling
this will cause the `preferred-size-changed` event to be emitted on the
`WebContents` when the preferred size changes. Default is `false`.
*`titleBarOverlay` Object | Boolean (optional) - When using a frameless window in conjunction with `win.setWindowButtonVisibility(true)` on macOS or using a `titleBarStyle` so that the standard window controls ("traffic lights" on macOS) are visible, this property enables the Window Controls Overlay [JavaScript APIs][overlay-javascript-apis] and [CSS Environment Variables][overlay-css-env-vars]. Specifying `true` will result in an overlay with default system colors. Default is `false`.
*`color` String (optional) _Windows_ - The CSS color of the Window Controls Overlay when enabled. Default is the system color.
*`symbolColor` String (optional) _Windows_ - The CSS color of the symbols on the Window Controls Overlay when enabled. Default is the system color.
*`height` Integer (optional) _macOS__Windows_ - The height of the title bar and Window Controls Overlay in pixels. Default is system height.
When setting minimum or maximum window size with `minWidth`/`maxWidth`/
`minHeight`/`maxHeight`, it only constrains the users. It won't prevent you from
passing a size that does not follow size constraints to `setBounds`/`setSize` or
to the constructor of `BrowserWindow`.
The possible values and behaviors of the `type` option are platform dependent.
Possible values are:
* On Linux, possible types are `desktop`, `dock`, `toolbar`, `splash`,
`notification`.
* On macOS, possible types are `desktop`, `textured`, `panel`.
* The `textured` type adds metal gradient appearance
(`NSWindowStyleMaskTexturedBackground`).
* The `desktop` type places the window at the desktop background window level
(`kCGDesktopWindowLevel - 1`). Note that desktop window will not receive
focus, keyboard or mouse events, but you can use `globalShortcut` to receive
input sparingly.
* The `panel` type enables the window to float on top of full-screened apps
by adding the `NSWindowStyleMaskNonactivatingPanel` style mask,normally
reserved for NSPanel, at runtime. Also, the window will appear on all

*`hiddenInset`_macOS_ - Only on macOS, results in a hidden title bar
with an alternative look where the traffic light buttons are slightly
more inset from the window edge.
*`customButtonsOnHover`_macOS_ - Only on macOS, results in a hidden
title bar and a full size content window, the traffic light buttons will
display when being hovered over in the top left of the window.

zoom to the width of the screen. This will also affect the behavior when
calling `maximize()` directly. Default is `false`.
*`tabbingIdentifier` string (optional) _macOS_ - Tab group name, allows
opening the window as a native tab. Windows with the same
tabbing identifier will be grouped together. This also adds a native new
tab button to your window's tab bar and allows your `app` and window to
receive the `new-window-for-tab` event.
*`webPreferences` [WebPreferences](web-preferences.md?inline) (optional) - Settings of web page's features.
*`titleBarOverlay` Object | Boolean (optional) - When using a frameless window in conjunction with `win.setWindowButtonVisibility(true)` on macOS or using a `titleBarStyle` so that the standard window controls ("traffic lights" on macOS) are visible, this property enables the Window Controls Overlay [JavaScript APIs][overlay-javascript-apis] and [CSS Environment Variables][overlay-css-env-vars]. Specifying `true` will result in an overlay with default system colors. Default is `false`.
*`color` String (optional) _Windows_ - The CSS color of the Window Controls Overlay when enabled. Default is the system color.
*`symbolColor` String (optional) _Windows_ - The CSS color of the symbols on the Window Controls Overlay when enabled. Default is the system color.
*`height` Integer (optional) _macOS__Windows_ - The height of the title bar and Window Controls Overlay in pixels. Default is system height.
When setting minimum or maximum window size with `minWidth`/`maxWidth`/
`minHeight`/`maxHeight`, it only constrains the users. It won't prevent you from
passing a size that does not follow size constraints to `setBounds`/`setSize` or
to the constructor of `BrowserWindow`.
The possible values and behaviors of the `type` option are platform dependent.
Possible values are:
* On Linux, possible types are `desktop`, `dock`, `toolbar`, `splash`,
`notification`.
* On macOS, possible types are `desktop`, `textured`, `panel`.
* The `textured` type adds metal gradient appearance
(`NSWindowStyleMaskTexturedBackground`).
* The `desktop` type places the window at the desktop background window level
(`kCGDesktopWindowLevel - 1`). Note that desktop window will not receive
focus, keyboard or mouse events, but you can use `globalShortcut` to receive
input sparingly.
* The `panel` type enables the window to float on top of full-screened apps
by adding the `NSWindowStyleMaskNonactivatingPanel` style mask,normally
reserved for NSPanel, at runtime. Also, the window will appear on all

Several events can be used to monitor navigations as they occur within a `webContents`.
### Document Navigations
When a `webContents` navigates to another page (as opposed to an [in-page navigation](web-contents.md#in-page-navigation)), the following events will be fired.
* [`did-navigate`](web-contents.md#event-did-navigate) (only fired when main frame navigates)
Subsequent events will not fire if `event.preventDefault()` is called on any of the cancellable events.
### In-page Navigation
In-page navigations don't cause the page to reload, but instead navigate to a location within the current page. These events are not cancellable. For an in-page navigations, the following events will fire in this order:
The [`will-navigate`](web-contents.md#event-will-navigate) and [`did-navigate`](web-contents.md#event-did-navigate) events only fire when the [mainFrame](web-contents.md#contentsmainframe-readonly) navigates.

`BrowserWindow.getTrafficLightPosition()` has been deprecated, the

// Replace with

}
```
## Planned Breaking API Changes (24.0)
### API Changed: `nativeImage.createThumbnailFromPath(path, size)`
The `maxSize` parameter has been changed to `size` to reflect that the size passed in will be the size the thumbnail created. Previously, Windows would not scale the image up if it were smaller than `maxSize`, and
macOS would always set the size to `maxSize`. Behavior is now the same across platforms.
The implementation of draggable regions (using the CSS property `-webkit-app-region: drag`) has changed on macOS to bring it in line with Windows and Linux. Previously, when a region with `-webkit-app-region: no-drag` overlapped a region with `-webkit-app-region: drag`, the `no-drag` region would always take precedence on macOS, regardless of CSS layering. That is, if a `drag` region was above a `no-drag` region, it would be ignored. Beginning in Electron 23, a `drag` region on top of a `no-drag` region will correctly cause the region to be draggable.
Additionally, the `customButtonsOnHover` BrowserWindow property previously created a draggable region which ignored the `-webkit-app-region` CSS property. This has now been fixed (see [#37210](https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/37210#issuecomment-1440509592) for discussion).
As a result, if your app uses a frameless window with draggable regions on macOS, the regions which are draggable in your app may change in Electron 23.
### Removed: Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 support
[Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 are no longer supported](https://www.electronjs.org/blog/windows-7-to-8-1-deprecation-notice). Electron follows the planned Chromium deprecation policy, which will [deprecate Windows 7 support beginning in Chromium 109](https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/185534985/sunsetting-support-for-windows-7-8-8-1-in-early-2023?hl=en).
Older versions of Electron will continue to run on these operating systems, but Windows 10 or later will be required to run Electron v23.0.0 and higher.
`webContents.decrementCapturerCount(stayHidden, stayAwake)` has been deprecated.
It is now automatically handled by `webContents.capturePage` when a page capture completes.
```js
constw=newBrowserWindow({show:false})
// Removed in Electron 23
w.webContents.incrementCapturerCount()
w.capturePage().then(image=>{
console.log(image.toDataURL())
w.webContents.decrementCapturerCount()
})
// Replace with
w.capturePage().then(image=>{
console.log(image.toDataURL())
})
```
### Removed: WebContents `new-window` event
The `new-window` event of WebContents has been removed. It is replaced by [`webContents.setWindowOpenHandler()`](api/web-contents.md#contentssetwindowopenhandlerhandler).
Electron CI on Windows uses AppVeyor, which in turn uses Azure VM images to run. Occasionally, these VM images need to be updated due to changes in Chromium requirements. In order to update you will need [PowerShell](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell?view=powershell-6) and the [Azure PowerShell module](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/install-az-ps?view=azps-1.8.0&viewFallbackFrom=azurermps-6.13.0).
Occasionally we need to update these images owing to changes in Chromium or other miscellaneous build requirement changes.
Example Use Case:
* We need `VS15.9` and we have `VS15.7` installed; this would require us to update an Azure image.
1. Identify the image you wish to modify.
* In [appveyor.yml](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/main/appveyor.yml), the image is identified by the property *image*.
* The names used correspond to the *"images"* defined for a build cloud, eg the [libcc-20 cloud](https://windows-ci.electronjs.org/build-clouds/8).
* Find the image you wish to modify in the build cloud and make note of the **VHD Blob Path** for that image, which is the value for that corresponding key.
* You will need this URI path to copy into a new image.
* You will also need the storage account name which is labeled in AppVeyor as the **Disk Storage Account Name**
2. Get the Azure storage account key
* Log into Azure using credentials stored in LastPass (under Azure Enterprise) and then find the storage account corresponding to the name found in AppVeyor.
* Example, for `appveyorlibccbuilds`**Disk Storage Account Name** you'd look for `appveyorlibccbuilds` in the list of storage accounts @ Home < Storage Accounts
* Click into it and look for `Access Keys`, and then you can use any of the keys present in the list.
3. Get the full virtual machine image URI from Azure
* Navigate to Home < Storage Accounts < `$ACCT_NAME` < Blobs < Images
* In the following list, look for the VHD path name you got from Appveyor and then click on it.
* Copy the whole URL from the top of the subsequent window.
4. Copy the image using the [Copy Master Image PowerShell script](https://github.com/appveyor/ci/blob/master/scripts/enterprise/copy-master-image-azure.ps1).
* It is essential to copy the VM because if you spin up a VM against an image that image cannot at the same time be used by AppVeyor.
* Use the storage account name, key, and URI obtained from Azure to run this script.
* See Step 3 for URI & when prompted, press enter to use same storage account as destination.
* Use default destination container name `(images)`
* Also, when naming the copy, use a name that indicates what the new image will contain (if that has changed) and date stamp.
* Ex. `libcc-20core-vs2017-15.9-2019-04-15.vhd`
* Go into Azure and get the URI for the newly created image as described in a previous step
5. Spin up a new VM using the [Create Master VM from VHD PowerShell](https://github.com/appveyor/ci/blob/master/scripts/enterprise/create_master_vm_from_vhd.ps1).
* From PowerShell, execute `ps1` file with `./create_master_vm_from_vhd.ps1`
* You will need the credential information available in the AppVeyor build cloud definition.
* This includes:
* Client ID
* Client Secret
* Tenant ID
* Subscription ID
* Resource Group
* Virtual Network
* You will also need to specify
* Master VM name - just a unique name to identify the temporary VM
* Master VM size - use `Standard_F32s_v2`
* Master VHD URI - use URI obtained @ end of previous step
* Location use `East US`
6. Log back into Azure and find the VM you just created in Home < Virtual Machines < `$YOUR_NEW_VM`
* You can download a RDP (Remote Desktop) file to access the VM.
7. Using Microsoft Remote Desktop, click `Connect` to connect to the VM.
* Credentials for logging into the VM are found in LastPass under the `AppVeyor Enterprise master VM` credentials.
8. Modify the VM as required.
9. Shut down the VM and then delete it in Azure.
10. Add the new image to the Appveyor Cloud settings or modify an existing image to point to the new VHD.
