# Electron Support
|
||||
|
||||
## Finding Support
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a security concern,
|
||||
please see the [security document](https://github.com/electron/electron/tree/master/SECURITY.md).
|
||||
|
||||
If you're looking for programming help,
|
||||
for answers to questions,
|
||||
or to join in discussion with other developers who use Electron,
|
||||
you can interact with the community in these locations:
|
||||
|
||||
* [`Electron's Discord`](https://discord.com/invite/electron) has channels for:
|
||||
* Getting help
|
||||
* Ecosystem apps like [Electron Forge](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-forge) and [Electron Fiddle](https://github.com/electron/fiddle)
|
||||
* Sharing ideas with other Electron app developers
|
||||
* And more!
|
||||
* [`electron`](https://discuss.atom.io/c/electron) category on the Atom forums
|
||||
* `#atom-shell` channel on Freenode
|
||||
* `#electron` channel on [Atom's Slack](https://discuss.atom.io/t/join-us-on-slack/16638?source_topic_id=25406)
|
||||
* [`electron-ru`](https://telegram.me/electron_ru) *(Russian)*
|
||||

|
||||
* [`electron-pl`](https://electronpl.github.io) *(Poland)*
|
||||
|
||||
If you'd like to contribute to Electron,
|
||||
see the [contributing document](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).
|
||||
|
||||
If you've found a bug in a [supported version](#supported-versions) of Electron,
|
||||
please report it with the [issue tracker](../development/issues.md).
|
||||
|
||||
[awesome-electron](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome-electron)
|
||||
is a community-maintained list of useful example apps,
|
||||
tools and resources.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Versions
|
||||
|
||||
The latest three *stable* major versions are supported by the Electron team.
|
||||
For example, if the latest release is 6.1.x, then the 5.0.x as well
|
||||
as the 4.2.x series are supported. We only support the latest minor release
|
||||
for each stable release series. This means that in the case of a security fix
|
||||
6.1.x will receive the fix, but we will not release a new version of 6.0.x.
|
||||
|
||||
The latest stable release unilaterally receives all fixes from `master`,
|
||||
and the version prior to that receives the vast majority of those fixes
|
||||
as time and bandwidth warrants. The oldest supported release line will receive
|
||||
only security fixes directly.
|
||||
|
||||
All supported release lines will accept external pull requests to backport
|
||||
fixes previously merged to `master`, though this may be on a case-by-case
|
||||
basis for some older supported lines. All contested decisions around release
|
||||
line backports will be resolved by the [Releases Working Group](https://github.com/electron/governance/tree/master/wg-releases) as an agenda item at their weekly meeting the week the backport PR is raised.
|
||||
|
||||
When an API is changed or removed in a way that breaks existing functionality, the
|
||||
previous functionality will be supported for a minimum of two major versions when
|
||||
possible before being removed. For example, if a function takes three arguments,
|
||||
and that number is reduced to two in major version 10, the three-argument version would
|
||||
continue to work until, at minimum, major version 12. Past the minimum two-version
|
||||
threshold, we will attempt to support backwards compatibility beyond two versions
|
||||
until the maintainers feel the maintenance burden is too high to continue doing so.
|
||||
|
||||
### Currently supported versions
|
||||
|
||||
* 4.x.y
|
||||
* 3.x.y
|
||||
* 2.x.y
|
||||
* 1.x.y
|
||||
|
||||
### End-of-life
|
||||
|
||||
When a release branch reaches the end of its support cycle, the series
|
||||
will be deprecated in NPM and a final end-of-support release will be
|
||||
made. This release will add a warning to inform that an unsupported
|
||||
version of Electron is in use.
|
||||
|
||||
These steps are to help app developers learn when a branch they're
|
||||
using becomes unsupported, but without being excessively intrusive
|
||||
to end users.
|
||||
|
||||
If an application has exceptional circumstances and needs to stay
|
||||
on an unsupported series of Electron, developers can silence the
|
||||
end-of-support warning by omitting the final release from the app's
|
||||
`package.json` `devDependencies`. For example, since the 1-6-x series
|
||||
ended with an end-of-support 1.6.18 release, developers could choose
|
||||
to stay in the 1-6-x series without warnings with `devDependency` of
|
||||
`"electron": 1.6.0 - 1.6.17`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Platforms
|
||||
|
||||
Following platforms are supported by Electron:
|
||||
|
||||
### macOS
|
||||
|
||||
Only 64bit binaries are provided for macOS, and the minimum macOS version
|
||||
supported is macOS 10.11 (El Capitan).
|
||||
|
||||
Native support for Apple Silicon (`arm64`) devices was added in Electron 11.0.0.
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 10 and later are supported, older operating systems are not supported
|
||||
(and do not work).
|
||||
|
||||
Both `ia32` (`x86`) and `x64` (`amd64`) binaries are provided for Windows.
|
||||
[Native support for Windows on Arm (`arm64`) devices was added in Electron 6.0.8.](windows-arm.md).
|
||||
Running apps packaged with previous versions is possible using the ia32 binary.
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
The prebuilt binaries of Electron are built on Ubuntu 18.04.
|
||||
|
||||
Whether the prebuilt binary can run on a distribution depends on whether the
|
||||
distribution includes the libraries that Electron is linked to on the building
|
||||
platform, so only Ubuntu 18.04 is guaranteed to work, but following platforms
|
||||
are also verified to be able to run the prebuilt binaries of Electron:
|
||||
|
||||
* Ubuntu 14.04 and newer
|
||||
* Fedora 24 and newer
|
||||
* Debian 8 and newer
