Running the editor in NW.js is being retired, and in this release we removed a lot of the code that handled things that worked differently when the editor ran in NW.js. Nowadays you can just use the editor in Chrome/Edge and get virtually all the same features.
There were no updates specific to Construct Animate in this release - there were a couple specific to Construct 3 and all the other updates applied to both.
If you run in to any problems, please file an issue following all the guidelines, otherwise it's impossible for us to help.
I tried exporting Space Blaster to NW.js using WebP images and it worked fine for me.
If you run in to any problems please file an issue following all the guidelines, as we need all that information to be able to help.
It's also documented in the manual: construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/getting-started/get-construct-3
The release video shows one way to install as an app in Chrome. It's currently only supported in Chrome and Edge.
We intentionally do not share the source code to plugins/behaviors, as modifying them causes really painful compatibility nightmares. It really causes more problems than it solves. You should find another way to make alterations - the Platform behavior is already highly customisable from events.
Yes, we already use WebAssembly for various things like audio transcoding, image optimisation, physics and Advanced Random!
"Aw snap" means the browser crashed, not Construct, so it may actually be a problem with the browser. However in general if you run in to any problems please file an issue here following all the guidelines: github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs
It should already be supported - if something doesn't work right please file an issue following all the guidelines here: github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs
I've not seen any other reports of those issues. As ever we need a bug report following all the guidelines to be able to investigate.
We get a lot done and routinely add lots of new things to Construct. However if you ask us to clone an entire product with years of development already gone in to it, it's such a major request it's not clear it's even realistic. It would be better to focus on ways to integrate Spriter and Construct, and there's already a third-party addon that supports it.
The option is still there. However it is currently only supported in Chrome and Edge (and other Chromium-based browsers).

Wider technology issues from Ashley's perspective.
