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
