In this case, you won't need to wire in new tooling support yourself, or wait for that support to be eventually implemented by other packages before upgrading.

To help guide Electron developers in the distribution process, we have have decided to make Forge the official batteries-included build pipeline for Electron. However, with Electron maturing as a project, it has become harder for new Electron developers to understand which tools they need to build and distribute their apps. Historically, Electron maintainers have been unopinionated about build tooling, leaving the task to various community packages. Starting with the v6 rewrite, Forge is instead structured as a monorepo project with many smaller Chromium WebAudio Vulnerability Fix (CVE-2019-13720)įor versions 5 and below, Electron Forge was published to the electron-forge package on npm.Electron becomes an OpenJS Foundation Impact Project.Community Discord Server and Hacktoberfest.Breach to Barrier: Strengthening Apps with the Sandbox.
