Highlight features

Custom editors

Arbitrary files can now be added via the Editors dropdown. This feature opens the door to many new use-cases for Fiddle. Load a second HTML file! Use service workers! The world is your oyster.

Improved version selection filters

The old unsupported filter was removed, and an obsolete filter was added to filter out Electron versions that have reached the end of their support cycle.

Environment variables

Similar to the existing ability to set user-defined CLI flags, you can now set environment variables through the Preferences > Execution settings panel.
