||||||
## Finding Support
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

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
